I'm reading two books right now, kindly sent to me by HMH:
THE DIVINER'S TALE, which is not what I expected it to be. It's much more a study in character than it is a mystery, really, and yet the human psyche is compelling enough, and it is keeping me turning the pages of Bradford Morrow's delicately written novel about a woman with psychic leanings who happens upon what seems to be a crime.
I haven't yet opened THE JANUS STONE, but it is on my pillow; I loved Elly Griffith's first book, THE CROSSING PLACES, and I look forward to more adventures with her character Ruth Galloway, an archeologist who lives in one of the loneliest places I've ever encountered in a mystery.

I thought The Diviner's Tale was a good read - what did you think of the feminine POV though? I had some "hmmm" moments regarding the protagonist.
Dani, funny you should mention it--I was just telling someone today that it's a nicely written book, but I could often feel the "maleness" of the voice that was supposed to be female.
