    Karen - You've chosen some excellent reads! I'm not surprised you chose the Camilleri, the Hill and the Theorin. And I've been wanting to read the Gillies, so thanks for the reminder of that one.

    Thanks, Karen. Still some on your list that I need to read. I'm particularly keen to get my hands on Antonio Hill's book - heard lots of good things about this one.

    Nice list...though I wasn't as enamoured of Mons Kallentoft. However I must have missed your thoughts on The White Lie which I see now is something I really should look out for

    I love Camilleri's book, too, and was enthralled by The Potter's Field.

    Will put double asterisks next to the Hill book on my TBR list.
