4. I thought "Death of a Demon" was superb!

It's been well over a year since I read it, but it was certainly memorable. I have to say I liked it better than The Lion's Mouth, which I read a couple weeks ago. No matter what, I love the character of Hanne Wilhelmsen. So far, 1222 remains my favorite of the series.

I've been tempted for a long time to read Val McDermid, especially since she's so highly praised by Ian Rankin, one of my favorite authors. But every time I look up her books, I see plots based on serial killers - and I am SO over reading any thrillers featuring serial killers. So back she goes into my "not interested" list. Maybe someday I'll relent...

Thanks for posting!
