Well, David Loogan is caught up in another mess. We met him in the first book " Bad Things Happen". This story line is better that the first book, but maybe too many characters to follow. The good things is that a lot of them get killed off so I didn't have to remember all of them for very long. A lot of twist and turns. I wasn't always sure that the author knew where he was going but he did tie up all of the loose ends and it made for an interesting read.

This is the second in a series featuring Mary Russell, a dear friend to Sherlock Holmes. Here, in 1921, Mary meets Margery Childs, leader of The New Temple of God and activist in the feminist movement. At first, I felt that I was being preached to about the feminist role in the bible But half way thru the plot thickens and the mystery gets started. Enjoyable read. I look forward to the next in the series, which may be added to my bookpile.

Snow Angels - James Thompson

Another Scandinavia crime novel, which are all the rage. This one took place in Finland which was interesting to learn, but that was about all the book had going for it. The mystery, was a basic whodunit with all simple red herrings (another BMW???). The crime and other details in the book were more explicit than was necessary and while the ending was fairly good at wrapping up the loose ends, it also had an air of hokiness.
I probably won't read another by this author nor will I recommend this book.
