Gotta say I&#8217;m not hugely keen on the Baltimore setting as it&#8217;s an American city I have no interest in, but her writing and plots are strong enough to see me through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I tried a few other crime writers in March: McIlvanney, Ellison, Peter James. None of them really grabbed me. I think I&#8217;m about to admit defeat when it comes to Tartan Noir too. Stuart MacBride &amp; Val Dermid aside, it&#8217;s not for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My health has continued to be a problem, so I topped off my list with a few Pratchett faves, which are the ultimate in comfort reading. The Night Watch series is probably my all time favourite collection, although I&#8217;m partial to the witches and Death as well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Fifty Years of Wicca<\/em> by Frederic Lamond<br><em>Firechild<\/em> by Maxine Sanders<br><em>A Darkness More Than Night<\/em> by Michael Connelly<br><em>Fifty Fifty<\/em> by James Patterson and Candice Fox<br><em>Suicide Run<\/em> by Michael Connelly<br><em>Circle of the Moon<\/em> by Faith Hunter<br><em>The Immortals<\/em> by J.T.
