It’s just hot. We had 101 on Tuesday, and a record high low temperature on Wednesday. That means our low temperature was 81, and the previous high low temperature was 77. The good news is we haven’t had fireworks for the last two days. Not a fan.

I’m reading a previously unpublished mystery from E.C.R. Lorac, Two-Way Murder. According to Martin Edwards, editor of the British Library Crime Classics, this one was written in the last couple years of her life, and set in a different location than her other mysteries. It’s still a puzzle mystery.

Here’s the quick summary. “It is a dark and misty night—isn’t it always?—and bachelors Nicholas and Ian are driving to the ball at Fordings, a beautiful concert hall in the countryside. There waits the charming Dilys Maine, and a party buzzing with rumours of one Rosemary Reeve who disappeared on the eve of this event the previous year, not found to this day.” Nicholas offers to drive Dilys home, but on the way, he finds a body in the road. And, everyone is hiding something or telling lies. It’s another enjoyable Golden Age mystery.

What about you? I think most of us are coping with hot weather. Are you okay? And, what are you reading to take your mind off the weather?
