Yes, I know I said only books set in cold weather, but there's only so long you can wait...
From the Blurb:
On a searing summer's day paramedic Holly Garland rushes to an emergency to find a man collapsed with a bullet wound in the back of his head, CPR being performed by two bystanders, and her long-estranged brother Seth watching it all unfold.
Okay - only minor mentions thus far of warm weather, droughts and lack of rain - which is just as well because this is, so far, a very interesting book.
From the Blurb:
Melbourne, 1919. Nurses returning from the Great War are once again risking their lives, this time putting themselves in the firing line of a deadly disease: the Spanish 'Flu.
If this stinking, awful, relentless heat doesn't stop soon you can expect to see me reading more from cold climes. And something with rain... seeing as we've had bugger all for months now.
From the Blurb:
In a flat near Reykjavik city centre, a young man lies dead in a pool of blood. There is no sign of a break-in: the only clues are a woman's purple shawl, found under the bed in the next room, and a vial of prescription drugs in the victim's pocket.
Due for release at the end of January, the first in a new series.
From the Blurb:
Spring 1981. Newly promoted and posted to Carrickfergus CID, Detective Sergeant Duffy has hardly had a chance to unpack when he's landed with two very different cases: what may be Northern Ireland's first ever serial killer and a young woman's suicide that may yet turn out to be murder.
Another re-read, and a book I've been dipping into for most of this month.
From the Blurb:
When the irresistably attractive French convict Gaston Vandeloup escapes to the goldfields of Ballarat, he sets out to meet the remarkable Madame Midas. Charming, intelligent and forthright, she finds her fortune in Ballarat's fabulous mines and returns to marvellous Melbourne where she lives in magnificent style. But, in that city of con men and opportunists, her wealth makes her prey to deceit and crime, destined to end in murder ...
From the "new to me" pile (probably because this is a first book :) )
From the Blurb:
Kate Forman has an enviable life: a loving family and a perfect husband, Paul. But late one night Paul comes home drunk and covered in blood, mumbling about having killed something - or someone.
