Reading

This is just a note to myself. So far since I got on a plane going to Chicago I have read:

James, PD - The Private Patient

See, Lisa - Interior - Mystery set in China

Carlson, PM - Murder in the Dog Days ( set in 1975 with references to the US war in Vietnam)

Tood, Charles - Legacy of the Dead ( set in post WW I with a Scotland Yard inspector who has PTSD from fighting in the trenches.)

Wingate, Lisa - Good Hope Road - Small town after tornado

Plain, Belva - Homecoming

Connelly, Michael - A Darkness More Than Night 24/9/2011 - a bit depressing

Penny, Louise - A Trick of the Light 1/10/2011 - Inspector Gourmand is always great

Evanovich, Janet - Finger Lickin' Fifteen 30/29 - Gotta love Stephanie Plum

Jance, J A - Desert Heat - Sheriff Joanna Brady (1993)

Jance, J A - Tombston Courage (1994)

Jance, J A - Shoot Don't Shoot (1995)

Jance, J A - Dead to Rights (1996)

Jance, J A - Devil's Claw (1997)

Jance, J A - Rattlesnake Crossing (1998)

Jance, J A - Devil's Claw (2000)

Jance, J A- Exit Wounds (2003)

Gardner, Lisa - The Third Victim - Shooting at an elementary school

Patterson, James and Liza Marklund - Postcard Killings - Takes place in Stockholm. A bit weird and grim

Connelly, Michael - The Scarecrow - Suspenseful but too much language and horrible murder m/o of a serial killer.

Connelly, Michael - The Shallows

• Three to a Loaf
  Michael J. Goodspeed

James, P D - Death Comes to Pemberley - She needs to stick to the 21st century

Bell, Josephine - Curtain Call for a Corpse - So so. I was put off by her main characters calling the learning disabled boy in the town a nitwit. It was written in 1939, but Bell was an MD. Glad she was not mine. :)

Thomas, Graham Pseudonym of Gordon Kosakoski, 1950- - Malice in London Tough going. I never had a moment when I could not put it down to do something else. Every time the main character, Chief Inspector Powell, went anywhere in London Thomas had to show that he knew the city by telling us every street he walked or drove on. Who cares?

Ash, Linda - My Twelfth Christmas I enjoyed this short book very much. The cover is a bit discouraging but it was a nice book about a girl's relationaship with her grandmother.
