A few comments and thoughts about crime books set on the mainland of Europe, with titbits about real eurocrime. We hear so much about crime in the USA that many people imagine that Europe is a crime free zone. In crime fiction Europe has become a real challenger to the Americans, but unfortunately real life crime especially in Britain is increasing as well.

Clever the way you got the minipics in that array -- I can never do stuff like that.
Also glad to see you read about the same number of books a month that I do when I am not on holiday -- some of these bloggers put me to shame the quantity they read.
The only one of these I've read is the Leon which I loved. I have read the first two Robinsons, reissued a couple of years ago, but did not like them enough to buy more. Does the series develop/improve? I know a lot of people are very keen on it.
They were meant to be on one line but came out that way and did not look too bad so I left them.
This blogging has definitely slowed down my reading, and added to my tbr pile because of the recommendations I have picked up.
I agree about the Leon, but do persevere with Robinson around In A Dry Season he struck a purple patch and since then he has produced excellent stuff in my opinion. I never read his early work but I would suspect that he has developed in both character and plot development, without going to the bizarre.
Like Leon the plots are believable.
