Two books recently completed:
"The Lighter Side" by Keith Laumer, bought from Baen in 2002. Enjoyable, but not great; I'm not a big fan of humorous fiction, and I far prefer Laumer's more serious work.
"The Case of the Late Pig" by Margery Allingham. The 8th book in the "Campion" series. Campion is called in by a police officer who is his friend to help investigate the curious affair of a man who is found murdered, despite having supposedly died and been buried six months earlier. An excellent story. Allingham changes her writing style in this book to be a first person narration by Campion, rather than the third person of the previous books in the series, and it works very well. Highly recommended.
