Beyond Selidor

This is pretty standard historical mystery fare, but it's an enjoyable mix of political intrigue, complicated family relationships, fun secondary characters, and a great portrait of eighteenth-century Inverness: in other words, the perfect book to read during a relaxing holiday.


I may have to try that! Incidentally, I actually have familial roots in Inverness. (No idea where they stood during the Jacobite rebellion.)

Re: Sleepy Hollow, I'm not surprised about the racism. The showrunner changed after S1, right? I feel like several shows have been ruined, or at least faltered in quality, because the vision was lost once the original team walked away.

It's upsetting to see how Orlando Jones and other POC were treated. I didn't know about Nicole Beharie and Tom Milson either, but now we know why they barely touched.
