Et cetera : What we're reading: When Christmas Comes

I recently finished 'When Christmas Comes' by Andrew Klavan. I appreciated Klavan's writing so much that I read the second and third books in the series as well. Melancholy and atmospheric, this is not your average Christmas 'feel-good' tale. Cameron Winter is a former US intelligence officer coming to terms with his violent past and lavish yet emotionally neglected childhood. He works through guilt, emotional isolation and loneliness by focusing the power of his intuition and deductive skills into investigating an 'open-and-shut' yet heinous crime.

I would recommend this book for fans looking for something darker than a cozy mystery, yet not quite a thriller. This book currently has 3.92/5 stars on Goodread.com.

Happy reading!
