I loved the style and characters of the Joshua Moehling book and wanted to read others but there weren't any more I could borrow from my library. The Lin Anderson books are set in Scotland and are very gritty forensic detective novels. Luckily for me she's a very prolific writer. The one I enjoyed the most so far was probably The Wild Coast, but I also really enjoyed Driftnet. I seem to be really enjoying the whole crime suspense thriller thing. It's just pure page turner enjoyment for me.
I ended up reading all of the Helen Forrester autobiographical books last week. I've gotten back into that old habits of mine where if I wake up during the night I'll read for a few hours in the quietness (or what passes for it around here).
I read them too. Sad to say I understand first hand most of her experience.
