Reading The Murder Rule by Dervla McTiernan. I almost gave up on this one right away when I read that the lady was subletting an apartment on the 3rd floor and arrived at a 3 story building. But when she got there she took the elevator to the 5TH FLOOR and apt. 5B. This was all within a few paragraphs. Errors like that usually ruin my interest in what happens next. But, the author was from Ireland where she practiced law until she and her family moved to Australia. So, I'm not really sure why she chose to write about the U.S. since I see no evidence she has ever been here. I guess some inaccuracies might be expected.

Whatever. The book becomes quite intense and is full of twists and turns so I've stayed with it. I have got to see how it ends.

Listening to The Last Enchantment by Mary Stewart, an oldie from '79. "Seen through the eyes of Arthur's prophetic protector, Merlin -- whose own mysterious powers are in dire danger -- here is a tale rich with the majesty and turbulence of the magnificent legend it tells." I loved this book when I read it 40 some years ago and expect I will again. It was pretty much the only thing available now in the library's audibles.
