I've continued to read new authors in this quarter.Some of them I should have read long ago, while others are newly published. As far as I was concerned, only one was a dud.
Many of them I would like to read more of.

These authors are new to me, except for Eco. I read lots of mystery series including Donna Leon, Ian Rankin, Laurie King, Andrea Camelleri and so many more. Nice list in this post.
Very nice, Kerri. Here is my post on the topic.
What a fantastic idea for a post - I have This House of Grief sat on my shelf and it is probably the one I'm itching to read the most - good to see you rated it too.
