I picked up a Peter Robinson mystery earlier this year. It was a British mystery and pretty good as I recall. So when I saw two more of his mysteries for $1 each this weekend, I snapped them up. Asked the girl at the desk to forgive me my fluffy choices, but I needed them for the plane. She seemed quite offended and said he definitely wasn't fluff...and after reading "Playing with Fire" I agree. Peter Robinson can spin a mystery with the best of them. And unlike a lot of mystery writers, his stories aren't too easy to figure out. There's lots of spins and turns, but because of how he narrates his stories, they're not annoying. In fact, they're kind of natural. The sort of thing that really would happen if you were investigating the murder.

So I didn't read a KK book after all, but I think this was well worth the detour.
