I finished The Bone Collector by Jeffery Deaver a few days ago. (It was the second half of the impulse-buy special offer that got me The Man Who Went up in Smoke, I mentioned last time.)
It kind of felt like it was written in blockbusterese, but I enjoyed it. It clipped along at a fair old pace, and was very easy to read. I don't know if it was any kind of inspiration for the CSI TV shows, but it seemed similarly slick and not too demanding.
It was yet another paperback, in my pbook renaissance, and my next book is too. I've just started LE Modesitt Jr's Darknesses, the second book of the Corean Chronicles. The problem with this series is that the first two don't seem to be available as ebooks. I already owned the first one, and read it ages ago, although I could barely remember it, so I have borrowed the second one from a colleague to get me onto the bottom rung of the ebook ladder. Fortunately, the first one is coming back to me as I read it.
