Deep Pockets

I'm back! With the crunch of finishing class projects, spring break and being sick I haven't posted for a while.

But I haven't been idle. I've took some time to read for pleasure and found some more books with rowing characters.

The one I just finished is by Linda Barnes and is titled Deep Pockets. St. Martin's Press, 2004.

Set in Boston, a Harvard professor asks P.I. Carlotta Carlyle to help find a black mailer. But there is much more going on. Did Denali Brinkman, the freshman rower the professor had an affair with really commit suicide in the Harvard boathouse?

Want to know more? Go to the authors website and you can read reviews and a first chapter excerpt.

WOW -- I too spend my days in a library, a small consumer health library where I'm the director, but my mornings before work belong to sculling . Looks like you're a real rowing nut -- do you sweep row or scull?

I must admit that I don't do a lot of rowing reading, just the usual Art of Sculling and Rowing Against the Current kind of stuff. Need to check out rowing as a genre, you'll be my guide!

I mostly scull recreationally but I'm willing to try most anything - have even coxed a few times but I don't have the ideal body size or personality for that.
