Audio: Sarum, by Edward Rutherford. 10,000 year historical novel of England, focusing on the Salisbury area. Part novel, part history, part archaeology. Tedious at times. It’s okay, but I’m not sure I’ll finish it.
Audio: The Maltese Falcon, by Dashiell Hammett. Of course, I can’t help picturing Humphrey Bogart, Peter Lorre or Sydney Greenstreet as I listen. Definitely worth the time. Next stops: More Hammett and then onto Raymond Chandler.
Reading: Last Looks by Howard Gould. Mystery set in LA. Interesting characters so far. Not sure where the story is going, but it’s a fun read so far.
Reading: Killing with Confetti, by Peter Lovesey. The 19th in the Peter Diamond police procedurals. I’m hooked on the series and am sure I will enjoy this one. Set in Bath, England.
Finished last week, both on audio: The Chain, by Adrian McKinty. I assumed it would be another Irish novel. It wasn’t. It was a very creepy mystery with a very creepy premise, set in New England. No spoilers.
Bark of Night, by David Rosenfelt. The latest in the Andy carpenter series. Extremely light. Extremely formulaic, but good fun.
And I’m also reading, on and off, The Silent Patient, on kindle. Curious premise. I’m not a big fan of reading on kindle, so this is something if a gap filler between books. Just in first few chapters but looks good. Hope it stays that way.
