The Thirst by Jo Nesbo - an odd murder in Oslo, the victim's wounds have rust and paint in them. When there is a second victim, the police chief asks Harry Hole to come back to the police force from his current job teaching at the police academy. Harry almost immediately suspects a former nemesis of the crimes and his hunch soon proves to be true. Lots of twists and turns and when it's seemingly all wrapped up you know there's more to come because there are several pages to go. A little too drawn out, not my favorite in the series.

The Lost Book of the Grail by Charlie Lovett - Arthur Prescott loves to do research, especially about his beloved library in a British cathedral. He is secretly searching for the Holy Grail, inspired by his grandfather. When an American comes to the library to digitize the manuscripts he worries that she is also after the grail. Together they begin a search for a manuscript that may tell all. Lots of book references, witty repartee, and code solving.

Silent Scream by Angela Marsons - the 1st in the D.I. Kim Stone series. Two gruesome murders are found to have a link and that leads to buried bodies at an old children's home. Kim has a connection to a similar institution and a burning desire to find the person responsible for the deaths. At times I found her character too abrasive but she has her reasons. There are four more books in the series but I don't think I'll continue, the subject matter is a little too dark for me.
