"I didn’t have time to write you a short letter," apologized Mark Twain, "so I wrote you a long one."Actually it’s not known whether he ever really said this. There is a lot of misinformation surrounding the great American writer. He was even mistakenly pronounced dead in 1897, leading to another famous quotation, "rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated." (The Questions That Drive a Novel vs. Short Story.)But, whether Twain said it or not, there’s a lot of truth in the sentiment.

‘I didn’t have time to write you a short letter,’ wrote Mark Twain, ‘so I wrote you a long one.’ As with many Twain sayings, the origins of this one are slightly obscure, but the sentiment still rings true.

I enjoy mystery series, but I also like standalone novels. There are series I return to time and time again, and rather than binge-read them, I space out the books to savor them. This week’s selection features both—a new entry in Elly Griffiths’s DI Harbinder Kaur series and a debut adult novel by an author known for her young adult books. This is book four in a loosely connected series by one of my favorite authors. You might ask how a series can be only loosely connected.

The Hollow Tree by Philip Miller The Last Word by Elly Griffiths The Return of Ellie Black by Emiko Jean When five spooked horses from the Royal Household Cavalry threw their riders and bolted through the streets of central London last month, it was a reminder that although England is an ancient and highly developed civilization, a primal wildness always courses beneath its polite veneer.
