I'm always looking for something new to read. I don't know why authors can't write as fast as I want to read their newest book! (Yes, I'm only kidding! The list of authors I enjoy is pretty long but I am always looking for someone new.
It's hard looking at Amazon or Barnes and Noble because I end up spending a bushel of money. I recently discovered that Hasting's sells used books-and it's a lot closer than the nearest Half Price so I've started checking out their books. Some are hits and other misses.
I'm not sure what it says about me that almost all of my pleasure reading revolves around mysteries-anything but a cozy! I love police procedurals, private investigators, and I want a little blood. Occasionally I throw in one of Charlaine Harris'.
I found this one sitting on the new Mystery shelf at Barnes and Noble. The main character is a forensic sketch artist for the NYPD. He has an uncanny ability to draw realistic sketches even when a witness doesn't think they know anything. There's also just a little bit of psychic ability thrown in there-but just a touch.
I was lucky enough to also find his first book in this series, Anatomy of Fear. Now I'm on the hunt for his series featuring Kate McKinnon, a NYPD cop turned art historian. I hope he writes fast!
