I've been reading a lot of pbooks loaned to me from my son, a friend, and my sister-in-law. James Rollins, Janet Evanavich, James Patterson (the Maximum Ride series - love this YA ones
), Douglas Preston, Iris Johansen and one by her and her son, Roy - Shadow Zone.
I enjoyed them all, though none really stood out. I'm reading
The Fifth Woman by Henning Mankell right now and about a third of the way through it (about 650 pbook pages).
Quote:
From Library Journal
The fourth book in Mankell's excellent series opens with the bloody killings of four nuns and a Swedish tourist (the fifth woman) in Algeria, then switches to the carefully staged murder of a wealthy retired car dealer in Ystad, Sweden. Even as Inspector Kurt Wallander and his cohorts tirelessly work the car-dealer case, the perpetrator obsessively plots her next murder, dispatching the victim as if all her life were meant for this killing moment. Wallander somehow uncovers the ties that bind these apparently disparate events together. The intricate plotting, chilling psychological divination, and thrilling police procedural are all seamlessly translated. Fans of Maj Sj wall and Per Wahl 's mysteries will enjoy this crime novel by their fellow countryman. Highly recommended.
