The Dry by Jane Harper or 2020...Could it get any worse?

As I went outside I was reminded of the book The Dry by Jane Harper.

We have Covid 19, protests and worse riots and looting.

Now we are having record breaking heat in Central Texas. 100 degrees F for two days and then high 90's. I looked at the 10 day and 20 day forecast. Nothing below 96 degrees for all of June. Too much too early.

Ok. It is the beginning of June. Let's see what we have for mysteries coming up on t.v.

Sunday June 14th 8 p.m. central time

Grantchester returns for Season 5.

"Fast forward: It’s 1957, and Will has finally settled into his role as the vicar of Grantchester, preaching to a packed and adoring congregation. His best friend, Detective Inspector Geordie Keating, has come to accept his wife Cathy’s commitment to her job – well, just about. Mrs C. happily (and deftly) juggles her roles as the vicarage housekeeper and as a well-to-do married woman. And after a trip to Marrakech, even Leonard has managed to carve out some happiness with Daniel, in secret. 

“The main theme that goes through the season is this idea of ‘Eden’,” said Grantchester star Tom Brittney. “Harold Macmillan [British Prime Minister, 1957-1963] was saying at that time in the fifties that Britain had never had it so good. But in actual truth, underneath, there is always this dark side bubbling, and no more than in the village of Grantchester.”

From a student’s misadventure at one of the local colleges, a hit-and-run that leads them to a secret garden, a murder in a cinema, a death at a controversial drug trial and more, crime never truly stops in Grantchester. As the season goes on, Will’s faith and Geordie’s patience will be thoroughly tested as they are reminded once more that there’s always darkness lurking in their little corner of Cambridgeshire."

The six episodes will bring us to July 19. And then we have to wait until August 9 for Endeavor.

What about Hallmark Movies and Mysteries? I could not believe my eyes.

No new Hallmark Mystery Movies until January 5, 2021. How can this be? Maybe they had to halt filming because of The Thing? (that's a movie isn't it? Oh this whole year is going to have to be made into a movie.)

That's it. That's all they've got. Who would have thought we would get hit with another blow. Can't really travel. Too hot to go outside here. Can't really go downtown...too much going on with all the unrest. And now no mysteries for the summer. Huh.

I saw a funny on FB that basically said "I am going to hang some lights, put up the tree, stick a turkey in the oven and call 2020 over." 

I agree. Stick a fork in me. I am done.

  1. Well, there are new books coming out, though some have been postponed from the original dates. Louise Penny has a new book in early September - that's good, right? I know. It's tough right now. The heat isn't helping, but it should be a bit cooler after today. Sigh.
