May reads

Started off the month continuing with the Tolkien binge:

Tolkien – The Two Towers

Tolkien – The Return of the King

Then returned to a series I'd lost track of, written by Kate Ellis, featuring a Caribbean-British, college-educated police sergeant who gets to put his knowledge of archeology to good use. The plots always have a present day crime that somehow links to a historical ones. Very well written and an enjoyable series. The two I read were The Funeral Boat and The Bone Garden.

Next up was Susan Wittig Albert – Spanish Dagger - disappointing recent entry in the China Bayles series. The plot was thin, the dialogue was forced, just not one of her best.

Then was blown away by Giles Blunt – By the Time You Read This - the latest in the John Cardinal series. Chilling. Excellent suspense. I love this series.
