AH, SWEET MYSTERY

I am soooo grateful to you and my Higher Power for Margo Kaufman’s courageous admission that she is a mystery-book junkie (Nov. 15). I thought I was the only one. Now I know there are people out there, good, decent people like myself, who are not really loners but who only want to be left alone long enough to finish (yet another) good book.
Finally there is someone who understands why I am powerless to do anything other than torment bookstore owners and clerks for word on the next release date of a David Lindsey, an Elizabeth George, a Patricia Cornwell (I love newcomers), a Katherine Neville.
And crime counts, or “slashers” as we experts call them, but they have to be good, and a basic understanding of insanity is helpful. Of course that’s just my opinion. Don’t get a resentment. . . .
