Continuing with my decision to feature books I've read this year, then my choice for the letter Q is THE QUARRY by Johan Theorin which I gave 5.0 to.
Synopsis (Amazon)
As the last snow melts on the Swedish island of Öland, Per Morner is
preparing for his children’s Easter visit. But his plans are disrupted
when he receives a phone call from his estranged father, Jerry, begging
for help.
Per finds Jerry close to death in his blazing woodland studio.
He’s been stabbed, and two dead bodies are later discovered in the
burnt-out building. The only suspect, Jerry’s work partner, is confirmed
as one of the dead. But why does Jerry insist his colleague is still
alive? And why does he think he’s still a threat to his life?
When Jerry dies in hospital a few days later, Per becomes determined to find out
what really happened. But the closer he gets to the truth, the more
danger he finds himself in. And nowhere is more dangerous than the nearby
quarry... more
See what others have chosen for the letter Q.
Why MYSTERIES? Because that is the genre I read.
Why PARADISE? Because that is where I live.
Among other things, this blog, the result of a 2008 New Year's resolution,
will act as a record of books that I've read, and random thoughts.

did you like it? You don't say. It sounds good to me.
Kerrie - I'm very glad you featured this novel. I do like Theorin's work an awful lot. :-)
I want to read this series but haven't bought any yet. I went to all your reviews for his books and they encourage me to get started soon.
