Matt Goldman - Broken Ice - More or conventional PI novel, with a few variations. Ex-wife, ex-girlfriend, quirky nurse, PI lives in former coat factory. Based in Minnesota. Mostly okay. Second in the series. I'll go back and read the first.
Patrick Taylor - An Irish Country Courtship. This is not generally the kind of book I read, but I'm hooked on the series. If you look up Patrick Taylor on the internet, you'll find him described as the best-selling Canadian author no one's heard about. In short, the series is based in a fictional village in Northern Ireland in the early and mid-1960s. Pair of doctors in village with it's share of entertaining eccentrics. The stories will make you smile and probably long for a time that probably exists only in our imaginations. If the can, listen to the audio books, as the narrator is brilliant. Read the series from the beginning.
Ken Follett - Pillars of the Earth. I started this years ago but never finished. Thought I'd have another go. Listening the audio book. He's one hell of a writer. The Middle Ages weren't exactly a simpler time, but if I could time travel, I'd head there.
