Ooh, have you read 'Where the Shadows Lie' by Michael Ridpath?

OMG! I'll look that up! Sounds amazing. I've found I do often read mystery novels for the setting and cultural differences. They do not have to be a literary classic to hook me. That's a bonus. I'm not a snob about run-of-the-mill mystery novels. I've read shelves and shelves of them in my life.
