Just finished the May MobileRead Book Club Mystery/Thriller selection, The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith (aka J.K. Rowling). It was quite enjoyable, well plotted, and I really enjoyed the chemistry between the protagonists. The only downside was that it seemed to me to be a bit padded.
Now it's on to the Mystery/Thriller that was nominated, got my vote, but lost: Cocaine Blues by Kerry Greenwood, the novel in which he introduced Miss Phryne Fisher to the world. Oddly enough, a few days ago I inadvertently watched the TV episode produced by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation for their "Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries" series while looking through Netflix for something worth watching.
