The Scarecrow - Michael Connelly

The two books that feature Jack McEvoy has both been winners. I hope Connelly has more of McEvoy and Bosch.

Dark Matter by Michelle Paver - This was a really good and at times very atmospheric ghost story. 4.5/5.

Draculas by J.A. Konrath, Blake Crouch, Jack Kilborn, and F. Paul Wilson.

The stated purpose of this book was "to make vampires scary again." Which they attempted by making the vampires...into ravenous, bloodlicking zombies?

Overall, I enjoyed the book. Very gory, very brutal. I just wasn't convinced that vampires had been "made scary" again.

I just finished my first Dorothy L Sayers book: Strong Poison. No review here...just saying that I really enjoyed it. Of course it might be because I love Sherlock Holmes, too...and like the whodunnit to be a fun and interesting read.
