Thankless in Death by J.D. Robb - Eve Dallas is on the trail of a killer fueled by revenge on anyone who has crossed him. We know who the killer is almost right away and this time it's a matter of trying to figure out who he will go after next. The violence in this one bothered me, probably because it was more personal. Also the usual couple of obligatory sex scenes.

Silence of the Grave by Arnaldur Indridason - a skeleton is found when foundations are being built for new houses and Erlander's team is called in. Since the skeleton is about 50 years old, it takes lots of police work to figure it out. The story is also told from the past. I find it irritating that the first two books in this series have not been translated yet.

Just One Evil Act by Elizabeth George - reading this 720 page book was like watching a 3 hour movie that should have been 1 1/2 hours. Way too long and convoluted. And not really an Inspector Lynley book as much as a Det Barbara Havers. Her young friend Hadiyyah has been kidnapped and she becomes much too involved. There were moments of excitement but there were lots of words in between. A disappointing book from one of my favorite authors.
