I actually want to read a couple of those. I think I just have a difficult taste in books.


The Oxford Murders by Guillermo Martinez, maths and murder in Oxford, fantastically tricksy plot - http://www.librarything.com/work/57090/reviews

The top 10 unsuggestions are mostly Laurell K. Hamilton, for what that's worth.

I preferred the Oxford Murders, because it was more consistently written and I preferred the characters. Also, I like tricksy murder mysteries.
