I decided to read The Queen's Man by Sharon Kay Penman. This was a nice medieval mystery about Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine. Lots of period details. I felt there was too much wandering about waiting for something to happen. The ending was unexpected although the author used my least favorite plot device. Rated C [3 stars].
Next is The Enemy by Charlie Higson. A YA dystopian tale in London where virus turns adults into beserkers and the children try to survive. Sound familiar? Yawn.
