4. The Trespasser,

by Tana French. She writes police procedurals set in Ireland, featuring a Murder Squad. It is a series, but only loosely. Sometimes characters carry over from one novel to the next. Some of the books are better than others. Some of the cops are as bitter and twisted as those they are hunting. Overall, I enjoy this series and keep going back to it.

I just finished reading an interesting memoir by Peter Andreas. It is called "Rebel Mother." It is the story of his mother, a former Mennonite and 1950's housewife who becomes radicalized. She and her son travel all over South America, chasing revolutions, living in in horrific slums and trying to empower the poor. You can decide for yourself whether or not you agree with her, or her child-rearing practices, but it is a very engrossing book.
