Might be my first read of 2010. I've heard some good things about it and am looking forward to a nice dark Victorian novel. I’m planning to get started on Drood soon as well.

I have an Inspector Rebus on my pile--it's not the first, should I read them in order? Does he develop as a character or is each novel truly standalone?

I had a copy of <i>Drood</i> from my library but had to turn it back in. Lust to long a book for me to get to it at that time! I will add <i>A Secret Alchemy</i> to my TBR list as I have been enjoying historical novels of late. What a lovely list of books! I had a copy of Drood from my library but had to turn it back in.

I honestly have no idea if one needs to have read Collins and/or Dickens in order to appreciate it. I'm slightly hesitant to approach it, but I hope you enjoy it (and all the other books).
