Not sure of the protocol of authors thanking reviewers, but who wouldn't be delighted by such an enthusiastic and well-considered essay? @Hugh_Pope's gets under the skin of The Adventure of the Second Wife.

Seems I needn't have worried. The @shsoclondon turned out to be genial and enthusiastic hosts. Their annual dinner enormous fun. Many thanks for their invitation. Some of them had even bought the book!

20 years ago I wrote a comic (I hope) editorial for @washingtonpost on the labyrinth facing overseas voters just to cast a ballot. This year? A piece of cake. Making it easier to vote strengthens democracy. Obstacles undermine peoples' trust. So obvious.

How to set a novel, a work of literature in Istanbul? How to catch the proverbial moonbeam. People have been at it since at least 1547 - mine a more recent attempt.

@kitapkritik24 Deeply flattered, almost embarassingly so, by this glowing review of my Adventure of the Second Wife. @FulyaTurhan gets it- how the Sherlock Holmes conventions & "The Game" its readers play (a flitting in and out of reality) is used to construct a very different sort of narrative
