Wow!! Your analysis is incredibly interesting and persuasive. I have been reading the series since the beginning but never knew about the community of fans and academics (whose takes on the books add so much to my enjoyment) until The Running Grave. Thank you for sharing your insights and also linking to earlier articles that I missed when you originally published them.
Wow! The connection between Owen and Edie both being murdered in the setting of their artworks is a fantastic catch! I can tell I’m going to be distracted for the next several days by obsessively comparing the two characters in terms of their relationships with art and fame. Given the state of our world right now, I’m deeply grateful.
Anne and Kathleen: Thank you both for your comments. I'm afraid I am joining you in retreating into fictional worlds at this point, too. It's great to have others to discuss these things with.
