I'm not usually a short story reader but like Haddon's writing so will give it a go.

Lynda is on page 10 of 353 of The Nest

With a central family named Plumb, I was hooked - after all Maurice Gee's "Plumb" is one of my all time favourite books.

Lynda is starting The Golden Egg (Commissario Brunetti, #22)

Seems strange to call a Venetian detective novel, light relief, but Brunetti and his family and friends ( and food and wine) always relax me.

Lynda is 70% done with X (Kinsey Millhone, #24)

Lynda is 50% done with Inside the O'Briens

Genova could be accused of being the disease of the month writer but her immaculate search and empathy for people has me hooked emotionally and intellectually as I read this account of a family afflicted with Huntington's disease.
