Lessons in Desire<\/a><\/em> (2009) Charlie Cochrane<\/a> (Cambridge Fellows)<\/p>\n

\"Lessons<\/a>Set in England in 1906<\/p>\n

Jonty and Orlando take a vacation! Murder ensues!<\/p>\n

That’s the summation, but it isn’t at all the feel of the story, just so you know. <\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, Orlando has never taken a vacation.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt sounds delightful, Jonty,\u201d Orlando said, with liar<\/em> written plain on his face.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He’s possibly not doing it correctly.<\/p>\n

Orlando reclined on his front, elbows on the bed, chin in hands, reading a book on calculus which Jonty had hidden fifteen times but which had still mysteriously made its way into their luggage.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But it’s ok, because they’re spending time together, even if Orlando still constantly worries.<\/p>\n

As to be expected with a cozy mystery, a murder happens.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot that I want to speak ill of the dead,\u201d he averred, which indicated that was exactly what he intended to do.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And I appreciate that they weren’t killing off any more students, staff, or faculty at Cambridge.<\/p>\n

I spent the story very much feeling Orlando’s point of view.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am a very accomplished swimmer, actually, although I\u2019m not keen on the idea of exposing my body to either the elements or public view.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Same.<\/p>\n

“(I)t\u2019s hard for me to adjust to the world at large. Please be patient with me.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I need that on a t-shirt right now. Or at least a pin.<\/p>\n

I am really liking this series.<\/p>\n
