Devoted in Death by J.D. Robb - the 41st Eve Dallas mystery. This author is very prolific, this is the pseudonym of Nora Roberts, and I'm beginning to think she has a team of ghost writers. Lots of the same ground was gone over and over in this story and the plot was icky. Two lovers leave a trail of tortured bodies on their way to New York where they make the mistake of falling into Eve's territory. Too graphic, too much sex, and too much language. I used to like these for the character development but I might be just about done with this series.

The Watchmaker of Filigree Street by Natasha Pulley - Thaniel Steepleton is a telegraphist for the government in London in 1883. He finds himself in possession of a watch that ends up saving him from a bomb at Scotland Yard. When he searches for the watchmaker, he finds himself caught up in impossible things. This was billed as a fantasy and I guess I just didn't understand it. Also, an element that I find very annoying was introduced late in the story.
