Fifty Mice: A Novel by Daniel Pyne - a man is kidnapped from the subway and finds himself an unwilling participant in the witness protection program. He doesn't know what he's seen or what he's being protected from. A rather confusing story that had me wondering if any of it was real. Quite a bit of strong language.

Obsession in Death by J.D. Robb - the 40th Eve Dallas book and I've read them all so who has the obsession? Someone has decided they have a relationship with Eve and is killing people who have crossed swords with her in the past. It seems to me the bad language has escalated in this book and there are the obligatory sex scenes with Eve and her incredibly handsome, rich husband that I skip over. I like these books for the slight futuristic element (this story is in 2060) and the relationships Eve has developed over time.

Strange Shores by Arnaldur Indridason - this is an Inspector Erlendur novel but he's not investigating a current crime. Instead, he's returned to his family's old home and is still wondering what exactly happened to his little brother when he was lost in a blizzard. He then becomes interested in the disappearance of a woman who vanished many years ago in similar circumstances. In previous novels Erlendur is always haunted by thoughts of his brother and this book seems to bring some closure. This is a series that needs to be read in order which is a little difficult since the first two have not been published in English.
4 stars
