I like crime thrillers and have recently enjoyed some very good books by Scandanavian authors, Jo Nesbo, Henning Mankell and Mons Kallentoft but have just finished a great book by the Islandic author Yrsa Sigurdardottir called “Why did you lie?” fantastic read and great twist at the end. Well worth a read.
If you’re looking for a warm book full of great characters, the book I just finished Virgil Wander (that’s the title, not the author) would fit the bill. Small town doings. The book, I Am I Am I Am was a wonderful book that read kind of like short stories as the author recounts 17 times she could have died. Sounds depressing but it isn’t. Everyone I’ve recommended it to loved it.
The Night Circus!

@Steve I can’t find “why did you lie?”
@Tina . Hi I double checked the title it is “Why Did You Lie?” by Yrsa Sigurdardottir and published by Hodder & Stoughton. Good Luck.
