These are great picks...I have gotten away from Razing the Dead (Museum, #5) by Sheila Connolly this whole series and I need to get caught up. I'm trying to finish this Sherryl Woods series and I have been wanting to start Monica Ferris because I have some of the series but the rest are in overdrive. Thanks so much and Happy New Year!

Alex Shelby (jynxmecrazie) | 103 comments Zuzana,
For you I pick Bad Men Do What Good Men Dream A Forensic Psychiatrist Illuminates the Darker Side of Human Behavior by Robert I. Simon b/c it sounds extremely interesting. If you end up reading it, you should let me know how it was. I love psychology and have a (some may say weird) fascination with serial killers.

and

The Devil in the White City Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America by Erik Larson Pretty much for the same exact reasons. This one has been on my TBR for a while.

Bonus: Burial Rites by Hannah Kent
