It reminds me to read some books which are on my TBR list, actually, to move them up and look for them.<br /><br />It's hard to keep up, what with global challenges, trying to follow the nominees for the Dagger and also U.S. mystery awards.

Starts with good characters for me, and all of these books have strong characters. The first group includes a strong setting, too.
