Want a great crime fiction novel to read over the holiday season or desperately looking for one to give as a gift ... search no further.
There are two crime fiction novels that were highly recommended to me that I thought you might want to check out.
The first ... Ian Rankin's newest Inspector Rebus novel - Exit Interview. This is supposed to be the last one of the series ... but from the buzz I'm getting from everyone who's read it is that there better be another one! (For those of you who don't know who Ian Rankin is, he's the UK's #1 best-selling crime fiction author ... with a sexy accent to boot ;-) ).
Here's a little teaser:
It's late autumn in Edinburgh and late autumn in the career of Detective Inspector John Rebus. As he tries to tie up some loose ends before retirement, a murder case intrudes. A dissident Russian poet has been found dead in what looks like a mugging gone wrong. By apparent coincidence a high-level delegation of Russian businessmen is in town, keen to bring business to Scotland. The politicians and bankers who run Edinburgh are determined that the case should be closed quickly and clinically. But the further they dig, the more Rebus and his colleague DS Siobhan Clarke become convinced that they are dealing with something more than a random attack - especially after a particularly nasty second killing. Meantime, a brutal and premeditated assault on local gangster 'Big Ger' Cafferty sees Rebus in the frame. Has the Inspector taken a step too far in tying up those loose ends? Only a few days shy of the end to his long, inglorious career, will Rebus even make it that far?

The second book that you should check out is Rick Mofina's newest crime fiction novel - A Perfect Grave. Not only does it look like a REALLY good read ... but he's Canadian. There's a good enough reason right there!
Here's a little teaser to sink your mind into:
Perfect Grave is the third installment in Rick Mofina's internationally acclaimed new series featuring rookie crime reporter Jason Wade of The Seattle Mirror. In A Perfect Grave, Wade, a troubled loner from the wrong side of the tracks, pursues the story of a murdered Seatle nun. The case leads him to a hermit nun who founded a mysterious religious order; and ultimately to the dark secret that has tormented his ex-cop father for decades. It culminates in a life and death struggle against the clock. With time running out, Jason and his father battle the odds to confront a terrible truth. Catch this heart-pounding thrill ride of a series and discover why Mofina, a former reporter and two-time winner of the Arthur Ellis Award, counts James Patterson, Dean Koontz, Michael Connelly, David Morrell, Sandra Brown and Kay Hooper among those who have praised his books.
That's all for me right now. Merry shopping ;-)
