A recent title that comes to mind for me is City of Veils by Zoe Ferraris - it would have been a totally different story if it wasn't set in Saudi Arabia.bermudaonionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-19638858777542511022010-09-02T12:52:53.254-04:002010-09-02T12:52:53.254-04:00That Saint George Reef Lighthouse is simply amazin...That Saint George Reef Lighthouse is simply amazing. I ran around a little bit on the Internet researching it, and it was the perfect setting for Pam's book. It loomed larger than life in the story.

In Linda Gillard's Star Gazing, the Isle of Skye is an integral part of the story. I'm intrigued by the lighthouse themes and will look for the Anne Carter books.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04179027379034179865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-91462502121535638122010-09-02T08:56:08.705-04:002010-09-02T08:56:08.705-04:00I am in total agreement with the whole "not a...I am in total agreement with the whole "not all characters are human" philosophy. I love books that depend on the setting for depth. Lately, I've enjoyed several mysteries that were set in unique places or circumstances.<br /><br />The cover on CAPE SEDUCTION is really nice. I like the vintage feel to it. I trotted right over to Amazon and purchased both the books for my Kindle. Looking forward to reading them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-54427807585152987942010-09-02T08:47:33.685-04:002010-09-02T08:47:33.685-04:00The setting as a character has always drawn me in ...The setting as a character has always drawn me in my reading, and in my own novels--and in my life, too. I've heard this is a Southern trait, the love of place. Thanks for introducing me to Pam Ripling's books.
