The History of the World According to Facebook, by Wylie Overstreet

Heh, pretty well done, if superficial and silly.

Freaks, by Tess Gerritsen (on Nook)

Well, not bad. But I don't think I need to watch the show, even though I like Sasha Alexander.

Miss Zukas and the Library Murders, by Jo Dereske

Had to read this, since Miss Z is a librarian. It wasn't worth going any further, though...

Chelsea Mansions, by Barry Maitland

Good, as usual. About a remnant thread of the Cold War coming back home to roost, so to speak.

Cain, by José Saramago

Weird. Good. Needs to be read slowly and carefully.

The Evolution of Faith, by Philip Gulley

Interesting. Not real deep, but provocative (in a good way).

The Noon God, by Donna Carrick (on Nook)

OK, a quick and cheap Nook purchase that had a great story outline, but was a little light in editing and those sorts of niceties. Still, a good story, fast-moving and clever, though I knew who the murderer was after about 25 pages.

Amos Walker, by Loren Estleman (on Nook)

Hard-boiled mysteries set in Detroit and published over the course of 20 years, from the mid-80s up until fairly recently. Good stuff. Really good stuff. I may have to look up Amos' novels. I do like Estleman, always have.
