All the Dead Voices - Declan Hughes

One of my favorite PI series though the plots are so intense that I have to spread the time out between each book to avoid becoming overwhelmed.  I especially like the Dublin setting since most PI books I read are based in the States and found his treatment of the history of the IRA and the past violence quite timely since the Gerry Adams situation has been in the news recently.

Dixie City Jam - James Lee Burke

I listen to this series because I enjoy the atmosphere and writing though sometimes the violence and sheer evil of the some of the villains is almost too much. The plot in this entry had quite a bit going on between the Nazi sub, the vigilante killings, and the organized crime angle but everything was well handled. Listened to the audio version read by Mark Hammer whose voice is perfect for Dave.

Gentleman of Fortune - Anna Dean

An engaging historical mystery with a smart, witty heroine and a serviceable plot.

Dope Thief - Dennis Tafoya

This debut crime novel was both gritty and seemingly realistic and had the added bonus of delving a bit deeper with the characters and the aftermath and effects of criminal behavior.

And Did Murder Him - Peter Turnbull

Straight ahead police procedural set in Glasgow. While the plotting is quite lean the characters over the course of the series are well fleshed out and I have found each installment enjoyable.
