Turbo Twenty-Three by Janet Evanovich - Stephanie is trying to catch a bail jumper when the ice cream truck he has stolen crashes. Out falls a frozen body covered in chocolate and nuts. Turns out there are mysterious goings on at an ice cream factory. And that's about as deep as the plot gets. I used to find this series funny but it's pretty tired now. And smutty.

Two Days Gone by Randall Silvas - a perfect family is found murdered and the professor/famous writer husband is on the run. And Sergeant Ryan DeMarco is beginning to wonder if the husband is actually guilty. He starts looking at the writer's book in progress for clues. Told from the husband's and DeMarco's viewpoint. This is a rather dark book; dark weather, dark thoughts, and dark pasts.

In a Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson - a very fun travelogue/history lesson of the very large country of Australia. The author loves the country and it shows. I learned lots of interesting things told in an amusing way. I do wonder how much things have changed since 2001. Movie and tv stars seem to have raised our Australian awareness somewhat. My favorite Bryson book so far.
4 stars
