My son insists, every time I finish one of the tomes in George R. R. Martin's series, that I immediately start the next. He has slipped STORM OF SWORDS onto my night table, so here I go again, back into the fascinating world of kings and knaves, swords and sinister secrets.
But I am ALSO reading Tom Knox's fascinating (and often sobering) mystery set in Laos, which calls back the atrocities perpetrated by the Khmer Rouge.
Both books make for edge-of-the-seat reading!
