I think it's because I was so in love and involved with the characters.</p>
<p>Looking back, I probably should have known, though.</p>geekmom commented on '<i>Mistress of the Art of Death</i> -- Ariana Franklin'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e20115715f2d3c970c2009-08-02T17:29:32Z2009-08-02T17:29:32ZgeekmomThanks for this - I just finished the book and it was wonderful.

I almost squealed with delight when I saw there were sequels and now I'm just waiting for the library to open so I can go get them.</p>Lorin commented on '<i>Mistress of the Art of Death</i> -- Ariana Franklin'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e2011572242424970b2009-07-22T18:37:15Z2009-07-22T18:37:15ZLorinhttp://www.archthinking.blogspot.com/Oh, I loved this book.

<p>Henry II's always been an interest of mine but I think that's mainly because of "The Lion in Winter".</p>starr commented on '<i>Mistress of the Art of Death</i> -- Ariana Franklin'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e201157221a747970b2009-07-22T02:41:37Z2009-07-22T02:41:37ZstarrYes!

<p>You're in Maine, right? We were driving along Route 2 this weekend and discovered BROWNIE WHOOPIE PIES at a deli/convenience store and my lands, they were to die for.</p>Dawn commented on '<i>Mistress of the Art of Death</i> -- Ariana Franklin'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e20115712b9f56970c2009-07-21T19:41:02Z2009-07-21T19:41:03ZDawnI've looked at this book several times, but never could decide whether it was worth reading.

When I left for a two week vacation in Europe, I took with me Mistress of the Art of Death and A Serpent's Tale. When I finished the Mistress book, I left it behind on the shelf of a little guest library in an old rectory which is now a B&B in a small, medieval town in England. I loved all three books, although the subject matter of Mistress was a little icky. My favorite was Grave Goods.</p>Elizabeth commented on '<i>Mistress of the Art of Death</i> -- Ariana Franklin'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8345169e469e20115712a4901970c2009-07-21T12:59:41Z2009-07-21T12:59:41ZElizabethhttp://www.leakydinghy.com/I always thought butter tarts were the Maine confection of choice (possibly confusing Castine and Grand Manan, here) but The...<p>I always thought butter tarts were the Maine confection of choice (possibly confusing Castine and Grand Manan, here) but The Wikipedia tells me they're Canadian.
