Let's Talk About Ceps
Can anyone recommend some decent crime/detective fiction for my dad? It's his birthday coming up and I want to get him something entertaining and well-written, i.e. hopefully a cut above the dreck you see advertised in tube stations, but not too abstruse, weird and, um, Dissensus-ish. Not Lynda la Plante but not Reza Negarestani either, if you see what I mean. He enjoyed the Stieg Larsson books recently, so I might get him something by Jo Nesbo who is inevitably being touted as 'the next Larsson', plus I was thinking I probably couldn't go far wrong with a comp of Holmes stories. But I was thinking of getting a job lot of cheap books on Amazon, maybe half a dozen, so any recommendations for other stuff that's good and preferably current would be appreciated.
Cheers!
