I've read several books by J.A. Jance. All pretty good.

After reading your review I am convinced I must read this book.

Very interesting (if disturbing) premise for a story.


In this 22nd book in the series Agatha Raisin goes to a pig roast and discovers that the 'pig' is a human torso with a porker's head. Agatha's detective agency is hired to find the killer....but the criminals want them off the case. Not the best Agatha Raisin mytery. 2.5 stars.

Sinister
It's the second book in her Shaye Archer PI series. I really dug Malevolent, the first book. Haven't had as much time to keep up with reading lately though, but so far I'm enjoying this one.

Back into crime fiction, last night I stayed up around the clock finishing two novels by French author Frederic Dard, brought back into print by Pushkin Vertigo.
Crush, and Bird in a Cage. I really liked the first one and loved the second.

In this addition to the series Mma Ramotswe tackles two cases while her associate, Mma Makuski, takes off for maternity leave. As usual, the book is more about the characters than the cases. An enjoyable story about Botswana, human nature, and friendship. 3.5 stars

Asta Westerby, a Danish woman living in England, writes a diary chronicling her life. Published after Asta's death, the diaries become wildly popular. As it happens the diaries have a connection with two mysteries. Good psychological suspense novel. 4 stars.

My favorite book of hers as Barbara Vine. Enjoy. The BBC production is good too.

That's a good one, probably my favorite of all of her novels.

I've just finished The Killer Inside Me. As excellent as it is, I think I like his Pop. 1280 a bit more.

This comic novel about political chicanery in Florida....particularly during the 2001 Governor's race.....made me laugh out loud.
3.5 stars.
