I haven't read a really good thriller in a long while. Except for a couple of bad encounters that failed to live up to expectations. But Tess Gerritsen was heavily recommended in book blogs and has had rave reviews on Amazon. As I had a coupon for 30% off plus a further 10% with a Borders card, how can I not give her a try?
Well, I did just that and I found: A fast-paced murder/forensic mystery with generous helpings of early Christian and Hebrew myth; of good versus evil and of demons alive among men. Whew! Gerritsen did her research well and it shows in this thrill-a-minute book. Got 48 hours to spare? Read and enjoy. Just don't expect too much from her characters - the story is king here.
I was lead to The Mephisto Club by the recommendations of others. But now, I'll gladly take up her other books on my own.
Now reading: The Ladies of Grace Adieu & Other Stories by Susanna Clarke. Am in the mood for some magic this week. And STILL plugging away at The Jane Austen Book Club (somewhat tedious!) and A House in Corfu (almost done).
