I did end up liking this show. Not really like the book series, but the characters have the same names as the books. It took on a paranormal twist but I like some of that. I will be watching it.
What about Big Sky you may ask. The t.v. series based on the novel The Highway by C.J. Box. I have not read The Highway, but others have told me the t.v. series is loosely based on the book. I watched the first episode, well half of it. Then I thought, oh maybe I should finish it. I watched some more. Then I said no this is not for me. I stayed quiet about it though. We had our Mystery Book Club meeting soon after that and guess what? Those from the group that has watched it turned it off also.
Yes I did read a couple of books during the holidays. I will post those soon.
Thanks for reminding me about Miss Scarlet and the Duke. I need to try that one. And, yes, The Highway/Big Sky - nope, not for us either. I think I heard that C.J. Box will have another adaptation of his writing. Here's hoping it's Joe Pickett!
