Here is what I read: "Live by Night" the new Denis Lehane, set in a casino in 1920s. "The Bat"by Jo Nesbo which tells the story of Harry Hole first detection of a serial killer in Australia....great read, I love Harry. Another great series of nordic crime thrillers that I tried were the ASA Larsson series, a great find.
After all those thrillers, I read "The Cutting Season" by Attica Locke, a murder set the in an American plantation and "We may be forgiven" by AM Holmes a darkly comic look at 21st century domestic life. Eileen Battersby gave it a great review, here's the link:http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/weekend/2012/1027/1224325763317.html
