reading this for the second time this year (and making up for all the years this has been on my TBR).

This isn't the opening lines of MC but it is the first line of one of my favourite stories from here. This made me laugh, and is a really nice contrast to the story about Ylla.

This is the story of Bob Burgess, a tall, heavyset man who lives in the town of Crosby, Maine, and he is sixty-five years old at the time that we are speaking of him.

My dear father and mother,
We arrived here last night, highly pleased with our journey, and the occasion of it.

Almost a pick. A Halloween read. Three acquaintances (a criminal, a crime writer and an ex-cop) go to an exclusive place to eat that is impossible to get to, or escape from.

A dark macabre tale (that is truly gruesome) but lightened with comedy. The characters are stock but the twists and the plot picking pace makes this matter less.
