| I just finished Homecoming by Kate Morton - I enjoyed it very much. She is good at writing historical fiction juxtaposed with modern day and throwing in an intriguing mystery. |

These are never long, they're very short, quick reads. |

| Silent in the Grave by Deanna Raybourn. Something like 500 pages. Couldn't put it down. |

Jane Harper, Australian author. Great mystery writer, engaging characters and storylines. Start with "The Dry". |

+1 PP if you are the person who recommended the audiobooks on another thread, this internet stranger owes you a debt of gratitude! The movie with Eric Bana is also a very faithful adaptation, and they’re making one of “force of nature” as well. |
