Dec 2012

an American who has lived in Finland for many years. According to the cover blurb, it takes place in northern Finland during the period of 24-hour darkness.

Purse book: Finally finished "11/22/63" and especially liked the poignant ending.

Now reading "Talking to the Dead" by Harry Bingham. I knew nothing about this except that a Facebook friend recommended it, and it's not what I expected. I expected a hard-boiled New York detective novel, but it's actually about a woman police detective with a somewhat Asperger's personality in Cardiff, Wales.
