My reading has been erratic since I've been in the process of getting my Kindle Keyboard 3G replaced because it had fits after the 3.4 upgrade. I haven't reloaded the last books I'd put on (some I was partway through reading) which were removed in the early stages of my troubleshooting in case a corrupted book was the problem.
I did manage to read the recent Reacher novel, A Wanted Man. Quick suspenseful read with a bit of a psychological thriller feel to it. I rolled my eyes when Reacher went Rambo at the end of the book.
I whizzed through a couple of Ed McBain's 87th Precinct books, #11 and #13. Great atmosphere, lots of red herrings, and quality time with my boys at the 87th.
I gave Relic, the first in Lincoln Child and Douglas Preston's Pendergast series, a go after enjoying my listen of Riptide last month. The fascinating setting (Natural History museum) made it work, although the character development was lacking.
Finally got around to reading The Best American Mystery Stories 2011. A couple of good twists in the middle stories and no duds.
Brat Farrar by Josephine Tey, was the wee bit predictable and not as enjoyable for me as her Alan Grant mysteries. Still good writing though.
