You guys, I am putting mysteries on hold at the library, so thank you very much for your suggestions. (My mother also suggest Elizabeth George, so I'm putting the first one of hers on hold too.) If you have more mystery series suggestions, I am totally open to them still.

But today, I finished reading China Mieville's Embassytown. Which was OMG, so very good. Spoilers )

In conclusion, two things: 1) This book is awesome and you should read it and then come talk to me about it. 2) There is an audiobook and I am intrigued by that but not at all certain how the narrator would manage the two-voiced Ariekei Language. I don't suppose any of you have listened to it and could tell me how that was handled? (This sort of thing is why there need to be better audiobook reviews.)
