What are you reading the week of Sunday, February 1, 2015?

[Lydia Leftcoast]

1. Just started "Fallout," a Japanese mystery translated into English

However, it has been translated poorly, not smoothing over any of the stylistic aspects that seem awkward or tedious to English-speaking readers. (The translator's goal should be to make sure that the translation reads as if it had been written in English originally, and this one fails.) I am considering writing to the publisher and offering my services. That's my bedside book.

My purse book is The One You Love, by Paul Pilkington. It's part of a trilogy that starts when a London woman's fiancé vanishes a week before their wedding--and each time she gets close to a clue, a new fact comes out of left field. This seems to be more of a plot-driven than character-driven novel, but it's a good read.

Glad you liked The Black House. Peter May has two other series, one that takes place in China and one, which I haven't read any examples of, that is about a Scottish pathologist who lives in France.
