I've read a couple of classics in THE BIG SLEEP by Raymond Chandler, PIETR THE LATVIAN by Georges Simenon, three books translated from French, and some other excellent offerings.
My pick of the month is BITTER WASH ROAD by Garry Disher but ALEX by Pierre Lemaitre and THE CUCKOO'S CALLING, J.K. Rowling writing as Robert Galbraith came very close.

I like the variety here, Kerrie. And you've reminded me (thanks) that I must read Bitter Wash Road.
ReplyDeleteGood list. I have to add the Garry Disher to my TBR list.
ReplyDeleteI liked The Cuckoo's Calling, a read a few months ago.
Unfortunately, I haven't had reading time for a few weeks, but I'm still in the middle of Sara Paretsky's Critical Mass. I like it. It is political, and revealing for those of us in the States, about the development of nuclear weapons.
It may not appeal to every reader, but it's fine with me, actually eye-opening, and V.I. is her usual bold, courageous, unflinching self.
