These are two completely different books by two favourite authors in favourite series. After which, I expect to return to Ben Aaronovitch in time to read #4 and move right on to #5 which should be out in North America about then.

Finished
Strands of Sorrow and
Carousel Seas, both from this month's Baen Bundle. I absolutely hate zombie books, and I am not much on thinly veiled, ultra-right, gun porn. And yet, I read and enjoyed
Strands of Sorrow. Really, I end up finishing these books and feel like I need to take a shower to remove the blood. And yet, I keep reading them. Sigh. Something wrong there.
To cleanse my brain of that crud, I read
Carousel Seas next. This is the third (and likely final) book in the Archer's Beach series, and just as with all Ms. Lee's books, I enjoyed it immensely. Not the book you want to start the series with, but a fitting and appropriate end to this story arc.
Finally, I was poking through my TBR, and came across a book I bought about a year ago,
The Backup Men, by Ross Thomas. When I bought it, it was $7.69, but it's now available in Kindle Unlimited. This is the third book in the
Mac's Place series, though all of them can be read standalone.
The Backup Men was written in 1971, but is still a fun read today. And for the price of a KU book, hard to beat. (A bunch of Ross Thomas' books are now on KU, and I've not read a one that wasn't fun, and with lots of action and witty characters.)
Next up:
The Brass Go-Between, the first of the Philip St. Ives books written by Ross Thomas (as Oliver Bleek). Again, a KU book, and one I didn't have before, so I'm looking forward to it.
ETA: No, I decided to read another Campion first - #9 in the series by Margery Allingham,
The Case of the Late Pig.
