A Handsome Dwarf with Green Eyes and Goatee

Do you recognise this quote? Probably mean of me to quote it out of context, because it's actually rather a good first novel.

"Soli Hecht left you a present," said her partner, René Friant, a handsome dwarf with green eyes and goatee. He wore a three-piece navy blue suit and tasseled loafers. René pumped the hydraulic lift handle of his custom orthopedic chair with his foot.

Hmm, a green goatee? You don't see many of those. Well, maybe where this writer hails from ...

No idea - sounds intriguing, though.

Yes, it's such an unusual quote, I just had to share it :-)

It's from Murder in the Marais by Cara Black -- the first of her Aimee Leduc series.

Oh, you have your own blog now! Congratulations.

A great hobby - and a terrible time-consumer LOL

I assume you are back from Italy, and I hope you had a great holiday. A blog is a good place to share your best shots ;)
