Murder on the Old Bog Road, by David Pearson, was one of the books Canadian Reader left for me to read. A woman's body is found in a ditch, in a horrible rain storm, by someone on their way to visit an elderly mother. She reports it, but becomes a suspect when a connection is found. This is a police procedural, nicely done, and shows how, step by step, the murderer is tracked down.

Looks as if Death at Sea: Montalbano's Early Cases, by Andrea Camilleri (and translated by Stephen Sartarelli) is one of many about the characters we meet. It was an interesting read! Set back in the days before computers and cell phones, and in another country where police procedure is much different. There were some surprise endings, too. Not my usual read, but overall, not bad, either.
