I wish there would have been more time for movies this weekend, but I’ve got a week full of Sundance features coming up, so I suppose I’ll make up for it.

Well, I’ve accidentally stumbled upon the first book in a new detective series. When I look up Sarah Pearse’s debut novel, The Sanitorium, it is listed as the first of the Elin Warner series. I can’t say at this point that I’ll read any more in this series, but overall this was an enjoyable read.
