Intriguing start in a new series in the Pitt family novels
Twenty-one Days: A Daniel Pitt Novel
By: Anne Perry
Rating: 5 of 5
I am fairly new to the mysteries by Anne Perry. This is only the second book I have read in the Pitt series (though the first was really a one-off Christmas book.) I’m intrigued and well-pleased with Ms. Perry’s writing style. She has intellectual characters who use their wits and knowledge to solve the whodunnit.
In this book, Daniel Pitt (the son of Charlotte and Thomas Pitt), is a grown man working as a new lawyer in a prestigious firm. Daniel is called on to assist one of the bright stars of the firm in defending a man against the charge of murdering his own wife.

Beautiful and Stylized Flower/Plant and Bird Designs inspired by Art Nouveau – printed one side of the page
Creative Haven Deluxe Edition Elegant Art Nouveau Coloring Book
By: Ted Menten
Rating: 5 of 5
This is my third coloring book by Ted Menten and is the first one that shows his interpretation of the Art Nouveau movement. The 63 designs in this coloring book are primarily of stylized flowers and plants as well as the occasional bird and other insects and animals.
I was a bit surprised that the book did not include a wider variety of subject matter given that there are 63 designs and the title doesn’t reflect that it is a book of nature designs. At the time I pre-ordered the book, the product description was not available. It now is and does focus on nature but it would have been nice if the title reflected it as well. Apart from that small nit, I really like the designs in the book and am pleased with it.
I am hoping that Mr. Menten will do an Art Nouveau coloring book that includes fashion and other design elements. I really liked the nostalgic look of his recent Christmas coloring book with its elegant designs and hope for something along those lines.
