Enjoyed Triple Jeopardy, Anne Perry's second installment in the new Daniel Pitt series. I like the way these read--they read a little leaner and cleaner than her earliest works.

I just started Two Kinds Of Truth. I’m almost all caught up in the Bosch series which makes me kind of sad.

Enjoyed this one, though not bowled over by it: The Golden Tresses of the Dead by Alan Bradley. Supposed to be the last in this series-I'll miss Flavia, but I guess she had to grow up sometime...

I ripped right through The Jugger, the seventh book in the "Parker" series by Richard Stark (a.k.a. Donald E. Westlake). Parker is a psychopathic thief and all-round criminal who doesn't have any particular desire to kill you but will without compunction is you represent the slightest bit of trouble for him, the job he's in the midst of, or the security of his alias. Parker has been receiving odd letters from a retired former colleague, a "jugger" (safe cracker) who has been in quiet retirement in the fictional town of Sagamore, Nebraska. Parker heads to the town to find out whether his old pal now represents the sort of threat to his piece of mind that must be dealt with lethally, and instead lands in the middle of an unpleasant situation with unpleasant people. Parker has to figure out what's going on, what's in it for him (if anything), and how to get away clean in either case. These books are quick, well written, often brutal, and lots of fun if noir anti-heroes are your cup of poison.

I'm reading One of Our Thursdays is Missing, the sixth Thursday Next book by Jasper Fforde. Lots of fun and extremely inventive. Definitely a mystery!

Am tearing through the end of Where they Found Her by Kimberly McCreight. It’s been good so far. Multiple POV, small town secrets, lots of suspects. Could be lighter on the mommy is the best job ever stuff though.

Just finished Roses of May, 2nd in the Collector trilogy by Dot Hutchison.

These are on beyond creepy, the stuff of nighmares, but compelling anyway. Interesting characters.

Started The Trespasser, by Tana French. My mum has finally caught up to me in the Dublin Murder Squad books -- we both reached #5, so now I have to read #6 and lend it to her.

Also preparing to start The Sentence is Death, by Anthony Horowitz.

Finished The Trespasser (as mentioned in >22 rabbitprincess:). Much easier to read at home; the trade paperback is bound in such a way that I found it painful to hold on the bus.

Next up in bus reading will be an Alistair MacLean thriller: When Eight Bells Toll.

I just finished reading The Weak-Eyed Bat by Margaret Millar. It was a pretty solid little mystery and a quick read.
