Reading A Question of Blood by Ian Rankin. I love Rankin's writing. Not sure how I missed this one from 2004 but glad I found it in my bookcase. Rebus investigates a school shooting and one of the victims turns out to be a relative whose family he's been out of touch with for some time. Most intriguing, as usual.

I looked for some Harlan Coben audio books and all but 2 have a waiting list. The first one I listened to, Death Do Us Part, is a volume of short stories edited by Harlan Coden, 18 gripping stories about relationships from some top mystery writers like Coben, Lee Child, Ridley Pearson. From 2006.
Now I'm listening to the other, Think Twice, from 2024. "A man presumed dead is suddenly wanted for murder in this thriller of secrets, lies, and dangerous conspiracies that threaten to cover up the truth." Sure enough, good stuff. Thanks for your recommendations.
