What are you reading this week of October 11, 2015? [View all]
Hi all! I saw that the weekly reading thread hadn't been started yet and thought that maybe it was about time that I took a turn and give hermetic - who's been doing a wonderful job of keeping up the weekly thread! - a surprise day off.
Anyway, early last week I finished the 8th and final book of Eliot Pattison's Inspector Shan series. What a journey it has been! I know I've been promising for months that I would write up an overview of the series once I finished the final book, but I'm still gathering my thoughts. In any case, it will be in a separate thread when I do it.
Right now, I've been reading The Drowned Boy by Karin Fossum (Norway). It's a small book, and I could have finished it in a day or two, but it's the only book I have on hand until some of the other books I have on order at my library come in. Like all of Fossum's novels, it's very much a psychological study, as the detective protagonist painstakingly attempts to unravel the truth behind the seeming accidental death of a 16-month old boy with Downs Syndrome. It's a very sad story, told with compassion and compelling insight. I've very much a fan of Fossum.
So, what are you reading this week?
