Me too. I read
Murder and Mendelssohn by Kerry Greenwood, the final (so far) book in her mystery series starring Australian Phryne Fisher. Then today, I finished
Restless in the Grave by Dana Stabenow. This is #19 of 20 in her mystery series set in and around Niniltna, Alaska. (Seems apropos to be reading this given the above conversation about Alaska.) I've asked my library to find me a copy of the next/final-so-far book in the series. It should be here by mid-week.

Can the mystery be solved before the Earth is destroyed by the expanding sun as billions of years go by in the outside universe? Very, very good indeed, and there are two sequels that I've not yet read.

'Twas a freebie in 2008. If I recall correctly, it was one of the books that TOR gave away in the lead-up to the launch of their new web community. I don't think I actually got around to reading it, so maybe I should move it higher on the TBR list.
