Woman with a Gun by Philip Margolin.
Intriguing photograph leads a would-be novelist to solve a decade old murder.
The story was okay, not great. I liked the format, going back in time to explain each current event, but I just didn't really care about any of the characters. And I found the idea of all these people involved opening up to a nobody would-be novelist to be far-fetched, at best. To someone famous, sure, but not to this character.
3 stars.

Book #5 in 2015 (Audio)
Breaking Silence by Linda Castillo. Read by Kathleen McInerney.
Police Chief Kate Burkholder investigates a series of hate crimes against Amish citizens. But is the death of three Amish adults part of the crime spree, or is it more personal?
The reader was adequate, but not great. Her voice for Tomisetti grated on my nerves.
3 stars.

Book #4 in 2015
The Killer Next Door by Alex Marwood.
What do we really know about our neighbors, once they're behind closed doors. Interesting mystery set in contemporary London. I didn't know all the British English terms, but I don't think that detracted from the story.
4 stars.
