I'm currently reading Kristin Hanna's The Nightengale. Very good! I like all her books.
Just put this on hold at the library. Sounds like a big epic story - and I like epics to read over the holidays.
Right now I'm reading "The Short Drop" by Matthew FitzSimmons. It is a Kindle First so free this month on Amazon and I am really impressed with the writing so far - the author teaches literature and this is his first novel. (DS is doing NanoWrimo in school right now so I have an appreciation for new authors). So far it has a flavor of a mix of (old) Robert Ludlum, Girl with the Dragon Tatto, Jason Bourne and Jack Reacher. We'll see where he goes with it.
