Brenda Chapman answered Goodreads's question: What books are on your summer reading list this year? Next up on my reading pile are Liza Marklund's Prime Time, and The Other Side of Silence by Philip Kerr. I recently finished Adrian McKinty's Police at the Station and They Don't Look Friendly and highly recommend this series.
