PattyMacDotComma | 920 comments Charles Dickens is known for many things, but this spooky story about a railroad worker seems different to me. The Signal-Man could easily have been a Twilight Zone episode.

PattyMacDotComma | 920 comments The Tilt, by excellent Aussie author Chris Hammer, is the second in this rural mystery series, but it would be just as good as a standalone. Homicide detectives in small towns are up against generations of feuds and loyalties.

James Best (jamesbest) | 299 comments Now starting THE PRISONER OF GUANTANAMO by Dan Fesperman, a stand alone novel published back in 2006 that won the Hammett Prize for Best Mystery Novel and was shortlisted for the Barry Award as well.

I read four other mystery/thriller books by Fesperman last year and really enjoyed them, so I am hoping this one will keep the momentum going.

Araych | 676 comments Friends and Traitors Friends and Traitors (Inspector Troy, #8) by John Lawton by John Lawton

Inspector Troy #8. It turns out that Troy is friends with Guy Burgess, the famous Soviet spy. And Burgess proceeds to pull Troy into the complicated business of espionage. This is another wonderful effort by Lawton. Well-loved old and new characters involved in a very complicated plot with lots of moving pieces. 4 stars, highly recommended.

Reading The Long Shadow: The Classic Christmas Mystery by Celia Fremlin. So far it reminds me of something Shirley Jackson would have written without the creep factor.
