Success!

I was just writing about memory lapses when it comes to book titles, and I know that previously I wrote about a book I kinda remembered, that I kinda liked, that I would maybe/sorta read more books by the author, if I were in the right mood.  Ringing endorsement, I know, but whatever.  In any case, I decided to search about for it and googled "England Scotland "kidnapped son" spy mystery" - and f***ing FOUND it.  Crazy.  Anyhow, the book, a historical msytery set in 1819 England is called Daughter of the Game (now, that is a title I would think I would have remembered, even though the book was not all that memorable).  I remember now I picked it because of the title and because the author, Tracy Grant, studied history at Stanford and had a cool-sounding thesis topic, so I thought her novel might be fun.  And it was, I guess.  I am pretty sure I took it out of the library, so I am tempted to grab it again at some point along with what appears to be a sequel, Beneath A Silent Moon, skim the first just to re-familiarize myself with the major plot points (as I recall, there was a lot going on, although the big "surprise" was totally predictable, and I don't think I guess endings / plot developments well).  It's a little confusing because apparently Daughter of the Game was re-released with a new title and a "prettier" cover - see below - as Secrets of a Lady, but I think Silent Moon is the sequel.  These books would be a good hangover or bus read, even if they're not fantastic.  Like if I go to NYC to see R's new place and visit S & C (although that might require a few trips) - hmm...good plan.  Should stop writing / looking up books, now - all the typing while I am supposedly working with some immigration numbers I compiled is making my boss suspicious - I think he knows I am not really working, and keeps coming over to peer at the computer and ask what I am doing!
