Word of mouth recommendations for books are a prize. 01 Doc has recommended so many that we both have enjoyed. Today, I found a new source for recommendations.
Our doctor recommended an Icelandic author, Arnaldur Indridason, and said he was, at present in the middle of one of Indridason's books which I understood to be: Jaw City. I came home, looked up all forms of Jaw City. Google gave many references to Peter Benchley's Jaws. Nothing for Jaw City.
So I looked up Icelandic authors and recognized Arnaldur Indridason, who, it turns out, wrote Jar City. My recommender is originally from New York, hence the misunderstanding between his faintly northern pronunciation and my decidedly southern ears.
At any rate, I put it on reserve and will let 01 Doc know what I think. Strangely enough, she likes well written police procedurals, too . . .

I'd rather be caught browsing the crime novel area in a library than the romance section. I'd rather have them think I'm mysterious rather than merely needy.
Except, what about Nora Roberts - she writes a great police novel as J D Robb but they tend to stick them all in the same row....
