Face Time

Gerry and I both love Louise Penny’s Inspector Gamache mystery series.  I checked the latest book out of the library and, charming spouse that I am, I let G read it first. The last novel had a miserable stinky ending and we were both ticked off at Penny.  So, you know, I just kind of casually wondered how the book was going.  I dropped little comments like: “I hope she cleaned up the mess she made in the last book”.   “I hope the duck comes back.”  “I wonder if Clara’s husband has been forgiven.”  Gerry revealed not a hint. When I noted that his expression didn’t give anything away, he started making faces at me!  The nerve!  I haven’t seen so many silly faces since I hung out with pre-teen boys.  Who were my NEPHEWS.  Sheesh.  Of course I would have actually been pretty cheesed if Gerry had leaked plot points.  But that man is ship-shape and Bristol fashion.  By the way, I just finished the book.  It’s FABULOUS!  Did she clean up the mess?  Not tellin’.
