You Had It Coming by AA B.M. Carroll (aka Ber Carroll) is a thoughtful, well written crime novel featuring the murder of a barrister skilled at getting acquittals for those accused of rape. It looks at the repercussions of such trials and the effect on the lives of this involved. my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

The Twyford Code by Janice Hallett was a really fun read, written as an old fashioned adventure story chasing secret codes and hidden treasure and written entirely as transcripts of voice recordings.review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
My first finished book of the new year. Dark, disturbing but deeply moving and compelling. Strange holiday reading, but I enjoyed it.

Finished Glass Houses by Louise Penny yesterday, and I think this is my favourite of the series so far.While maybe stretching credibility in a couple of places, this book really rocks along. I normally ready Penny books fairly slowly because I like to take my time with them to enjoy them, but this one was a read in one sitting, a bit unputdownable type read.
