Just enjoyed ...
Richard Stevenson's Ice Blues, the third of the Donald Stratchey PI novels set in Albany, NY. It's the dead of winter (no pun intended), and a corpse turns up in Stratchey's car -- the grandson of Albany's political machine ... and $2.5 million is missing. It's a breezy read, the dialogue a tad too bitchy in places, but entertaining fluff.
Elizabeth George's A Great Deliverance, the first of the Inspector Thomas Lynley series, is a far more substantial and gratifying read. Upper crust Lynley, with semi-disgraced Sergeant Barbara Havers, battle their own demons as they uncover clue after clue leading to the murderer of a local farmer and religious zealot, victim of a beheading.
Good stuff!
