I stumbled over a book by Louise Penny - <i>Dead Calm</i> - last week, and enjoyed it more than I can say. It's the second in a series, so I have just ordered the first, <i>Still Life</i>. Beautifully written mystery set in a perfect small town in Canada. Absolutely compelling characters. A treat.

I got Alan Gordon's latest medieval mystery THE LARK'S LAMENT in the mail yesterday, and I put everything I could on hiatus until I finished it. He has changed feet with every book (which makes him something like a centipede, I guess). The charm and family truths in this one are a surprise after the drama, scholarship, and intensity of AN ANTIC DISPOSITION, which was a surprise after the romantic depth of THE WIDOW OF JERUSALEM, etc. No way to tell what the next will be like, except that it…

I ordered a copy of The Unquiet by John Connolly from the UK-I couldn't wait for it to come out in the US, especially since my online friends will be reading it and gushing. It is on its way as I type. The anticipation may cause an out of body experience.

I've managed to snag an ARC of Lee Child's "Bad Luck & Trouble". Maybe he's a tad one dimensional, maybe a tad improbable, but damn, Jack Reacher...you do not mess with Mr Reacher.

I've just finished Joe Lansdale's LOST ECHOES and I am in awe of his storytelling abilities. It's a wonderful book - I guess it could be called a supernatural thriller. It's about a young boy who is able to see and hear the violent crimes of the past when the place the crime happened is disturbed by a sudden sound - the lost echoes of the past. I woke up this morning at 5am and, instead of rolling over and going back to sleep I was grateful for a rare bout of insomnia and grabbed the book and…

I am totally psyched that the copy of Kindness Goes Unpunished by Craig Johnson which I won through an online drawing arrived today. Now if I just had time to read it! I am working on the book for my Tuesday night book group, and then I have to read the books by my fellow panelists at Malice by Saturday. Oh, and I have to calculate final grades for four classes before I leave for Virginia. I really should get off the computer and go read.

I lost sleep for a couple of nights over James Lally's THE FALLING DOWN MAN, a smart spy thriller with its roots in two pasts, and lots of human interest.<br />
<br />
Yesterday I ordered Alan Gordon's THE LARK'S LAMENT, set in 13th century Toulouse. It came out last month and I couldn't get to the bookstore.
