Easy Street: The Hard Way by Ron Perlman - I thought this would be a witty memoir of the author's life and career. It starts that way but became a diatribe on what's wrong today and how to fix it. He also talks a lot about his therapy of many years. It was at times humorous but those were few and far between. Lots of language but I knew that from a review. I think this was lots of rambling talk and the poor ghost writer was left trying to put it together.

The Forgers by Bradford Morrow -" They never found his hands" are the opening words for this story of forgery in the world of rare books. The narrator is a convicted forger caught up in the death of his girlfriend's brother, who he suspects may have been a forger too. A feeling of dread begins almost with the first page and builds until the end. The main character is not completely sympathetic but I really liked the way this was written. Just a little anticlimactic.

The Stranger You Know by Jane Casey - the 4th Maeve Kerrigan book. A serial killer is somehow gaining the trust of women, possibly by posing as a policeman. Maeve's partner comes under suspicion because of something in his past. Lots of twists and turns. The one thing I don't like about these books is there is always some conflict between various police officers.
