= new reply since forum marked as read
New (to me) author with several books out there, and I'm looking forward to reading the rest.
Takes place in Kansas City and has plenty of references to the locale, which is nice because I've never been there. I enjoy following along on google earth when a new spot is mentioned.
Protagonist is an FBI agent who's been forced out on medical leave because he's started getting stress-induced shakes at inopportune moments. The murderer is revealed in the beginning of the book and so far (1/2 way through) it's been an interesting ride watching the FBI (and the suspended agent) trying to figure out who it was while he tries to stay off of their radar.
It was in the low-price bin for kindle on amazon, and I've been very pleasantly surprised; it's much better than many of the offerings in that price range. It does have one annoying quirk on kindle; every place the letters "fl" appear together the kindle displays a question mark instead. I've almost learned to read right past it without even noticing!

Howards End is on the Landing.
The book starts out: "It began like this. I went to the shelves on the landing to look for a book I knew was there. It was not. But plenty of others were and among them I noticed at least a dozen I realised I had never read."
Susan Hill is a British writer and this is her account of a year of not buying books. Instead, she went back through her library and re-read books. She also read books she'd purchased but never read. She categorizes them (example: detective novels, women's books, travel writing).
