"The Sinner" by Tess Gerritsen, which starts off with a murdered nun and gets more grisly from there on in.
Just finished Tom Sawyer. Can't believe I didn't read it when I was a kid, almost had me in tears in places! Huckleberry Finn next, looking forward to it.
Raymond Chandler was so, so, so much better, and absolute poetry to read.
I thought the same but it's worth carrying on. Not sure I'll ever read it again, mind, but it does get better...I've just started reading 'Cycling home from Siberia' by Rob Lilwall. Only 40 or so pages in and it's not going well. After 300 or so miles through blizzards, they've had get the bus back to the starting point on Russia's east coast due to mechanical problems. And Lilwall's just announced he's a Christian and keeps banging on about it. Any more of that and the book's going straight back on the shelf!
