Currently reading Dennis Lehane’s first, “A Drink Before the War.” I’d recommend any of his.

Just finished Maureen Milliken’s two novels. They were amazing! First really engaging protagonist in a book and is also by a new author on the scene. They are a series of murder mystery, think kick ass Nancy Drew for adults!! Now I just need something new to read…..??????

Ooh I forgot about Jo Nesbo, the Harry Hole novels, REALLY dark and gruesome if that’s your kind of detective novel.
