I was expecting a light, warmhearted, summer vibes romance, which I got, but it was also a little mystery/suspense. And I quite enjoyed it.

Faceless Killers | Henning Mankell

This was a little disappointing. At times it felt like reading a boring non-fiction account of a murder investigation. I don't know if it's the author's writing, or the translation. Wallander is not a very likable person. Which if written well is fine, but this is also not a good character study, so all of the characters are a bit flat.

I struggled a bit to get into this book. The author's writing style did not appeal to me at all. But eventually I fell into the rhythm, and it no longer bothered me. Much. The plot got a bit convoluted, and a bit graphic and violent for Noah. But I did get very caught up towards the end, thus the book earning a higher rating from me than I anticipated in the beginning.

Fat Tuesday | Sandra Brown
Pickpick

Another one of Ms. Brown's earlier (1997) romantic suspense, though for much of the book it was lighter on the romance than some. Not one of her best but still pretty engrossing. The heroine was a bit one dimensional, but as with most of Ms. Brown's books the hero was well written. She does know how to write those good guy with bad guy vibes heroes.

Double Indemnity | James M. Cain

Pickpick

Packs quite a punch for such a short novel (115 pages). I really want to rewatch the movie now - the Fred MacMurray version. I've never seen the remake.

But can someone explain to me why the characters' names were changed for the movie? From Walter Huff to Walter Neff, and from Phyllis Nirdlinger to Phyllis Dietrichson. At least the first names weren't changed.

The Chase | Candice Fox
Pickpick

It was good, but didn't quite live up to the author‘s Crimson Lake books. Maybe because those books are about a specific duo, with other characters in their orbit, and while this one also has what I would consider to be two main characters, the focus constantly shifted to other characters. Or maybe the characters in this one just weren't as appealing. Still worth reading though.

Tailspin | Sandra Brown
Pickpick

Not Ms. Brown's best book, and halfway in I was thinking this will be a three stars, but the last quarter of the book got me so invested I bumped it up to four stars. I'm not sure why it took me so long to really get into it. It just wasn't as compelling as her work usually is I guess.
