Thanks for the "round-up" of reviews. It's very helpful.
Yes, a great set of reviews of very varied books. The Chinese one sounds fascinating. I, too, haven't read a Ken Bruen novel yet, and in view of the prize he's just won as well as constant blog posts everywhere about how good he is, I keep meaning to read him. I suspect he's going to be too hard-boiled/violent for me, though.
I've never got on with ken bruen... just don't like the way he handles narrative arcs.
However, I completely agree about Hypothermia. Im certain it's the best crime novel I've read this year: a wonderful, wonderful book.
