My recent reading:
Endless Night, by Agatha Christie, originally published in 1967. The book is narrated by Michael Rogers, a young man from a poor background who meets, falls in love with, and then marries, a rich American girl, but their happiness is blighted by strange events and a curse from an old gypsy woman...
One of the very best books Christie wrote, to my mind, and has a real shock ending. Very highly recommended.
Time Traders by Andre Norton. Bought this from Baen in November 2000.
Petty crook Ross Murdock is given the choice of facing a new medical procedure called Rehabilitation or volunteering to join a secret government project. He chooses the latter, and discovers that he has "volunteered" by a time-travel project in which teams of agents are being infiltrated into the distance past to attempt to discover the source of advanced technology that Russia is gaining, seemingly out of nowhere.
Pretty good SF. The first book in the "Time Traders" series.
By the Pricking of My Thumbs by Agatha Christie, first published in 1968. A not terribly good "Tommy and Tuppence" thriller. Can't really recommend it.
