What are you reading the week of Sunday, April 12, 2015? [View all]

I finished the first Cordelia Gray novel, An Unsuitable Job for a Woman by PD James, early last week. Then I started on Cordelia Gray #2, The Skull Beneath the Skin, which I had also already read some years ago.

Unfortunately, I left it behind on the counter at the pharmacy last Friday - d'oh! I had a prescription to pick up and knew it was going to be a bit of a wait, so I had the book along to read while I waited. I have no idea how I managed to leave without it, except that it had been a long week and I was tired and my brain was apparently no longer functioning. They're closed all weekend, so I have to wait until tomorrow to call and make sure they have it so I can pick it up after work. And I had just gotten to the discovery of the dead body, too! Damn!

In the meantime, I started on the other PD James book I had on hand, Innocent Blood - which I had not read before. It's a stand-alone, not part of any series, but I'm finding it sort of weird and not much fun to read. I'll plod along with it until I can retrieve the other Cordelia Gray book, and then I think I'll just skim through to the end and be done with it.

Because... I'd gone ahead and ordered the first five books of Rhys Bowen's Constable Evan Evans series (there are 10 in all), and was able to pick up three of them on Friday, including #1 of the series. Hopefully the rest of the five will come in this week so I don't have to read them out of order.

I ought to give proper credit to whomever brought this series up in a couple of these "What are you reading" threads sometime back, but I can't remember who it was. So, my apologies, unnamed recommender! I'll certainly post my thoughts once I've gotten going on the series.

And still I wait for the newest Fossum, Indriðason, Nesbø, Cleeves, Sundstøl, Cotterill, Läckberg, Kjell Eriksson, etc. to finally come in...

So, what are you reading this week?
