I loved the Shot. It was a quick, easy read while still being very engrossing and fascinating. I was on the edge of my seat towards the end and really did not see what was coming! I think it's totally fascinating how P.K. doesn't seem to set any of …
I actually LOVE that Kerr doesn't give many details of Bernie's looks. I don't want anyone to tell me what he looks like. I have a vague, shadowy idea of what he looks like -- and somehow it seems appropriate that his face is obscured in my mind. I …
I just finished A Five-Year Plan. Fantastic! I highly recommend it for a great summer beach read. (It's not too taxing a read.) I learned about some things I never knew about -- as always happens with Kerr's books.
So we've spent time with Bernie in 1932, 1934, 1936, 1938, 1947, 1948, 1950, 1954 -- is that it? So I'm looking for P.K. to write the 1940 story next. A lot of interesting stuff happening in the first few years of the war, as it slowly dawns on him …

There's one he…
Reading these books, I constantly found myself going to Wikipedia or Google to see if this person was real or if that person was real, or that place, or that event... I love the "real" famous people popping up in the books. Bernie certainly led and …
