It has put me off serial killer books in general for a while.<br /><br />I have a love of spy fiction for some reason, unbelievable as most of it is. And Olen Steinhauer does it very well.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-39919494397720933012013-04-01T08:45:41.346-07:002013-04-01T08:45:41.346-07:00It was a good read, I think you will like it.It was a good read, I think you will like it.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-6755939331735290562013-04-01T08:45:03.925-07:002013-04-01T08:45:03.925-07:00I was lucky to read a lot of great books this mont...I was lucky to read a lot of great books this month. Really hard to pick a clear favorite, to be honest.<br /><br />Although John Brady was born in Dublin, he has lived in Canada for a long time. A Stone of the Heart won the Arthur Ellis Award for best first novel, and several later novels in the series were finalists for the Arthur Ellis award for best novel.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-77996375346029825032013-04-01T08:12:40.005-07:002013-04-01T08:12:40.005-07:00Tracy - Like Bill, I'm a fan of both Blunt'...Tracy - Like Bill, I'm a fan of both Blunt's and Bowen's work. So if <i>Nearest Exit</i> beats those out, it's definitely one for my list. Thanks and I'm glad you had such a good reading month.

All were excellent books. You have had a strong reading month. For A Stone of the Heart to be better than the two Canadian books it must be a great book. I shall have to keep an eye out for it.Bill Selneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268006369157307593noreply@blogger.com
