After happily discovering that several Marian Babson books are newly available as audiobooks, I listened to Paws for Alarm, which I'd read years ago. I'd forgotten how charming and slyly funny this was--the perfect little (only about 5 hours) book to read between the two denser Marisha Pessl tomes, the second of which, Night Film, I have now started.
Night Film is wonderful so far, though I don't know where it's going. Whereas Special Topics felt like Pessl was determined to cram everything she could into her story, Night Film feels more low-key and suspenseful--and dark.
