I've just read The Sacred Art of Stealing by Christopher Brookmyre for my ABC Murders sub-challenge. (Investigator Angelique de Xavia was pretty much my only choice for X.)
It was a fun read. Not so much an investigation as a caper, but easy to read and engaging. It did suffer a bit from using too many contemporary references. It's only a decade old but it wears its age on its sleeve.
I've started another Hugo winner: Hominids by Robert J. Sawyer. I'd heard it might be a bit uninspired, but I'm enjoying it enough after the first 50 pages.
