Brooklyn by Colm Toibin

I absolutely loved this book! I listened to it on CD and the narrator spoke with a great dialect which made the characters really come to life. It is a simple story about a young girl who leaves her native Ireland for a new life in Brooklyn. Nothing earth-shattering happens, but it is the telling of her story and the play between the characters that make this book come alive. It is similar in style to An Irish Country Doctor - simple but well worth reading.

Even Money by Dick and Felix Francis

Although the world has lost the fast-paced horse racing mysteries of prolific author, Dick Francis, his son, Felix, seems to be filling his (horse) shoes nicely.
Ned Talbot works as a bookmaker at a race track, and is taken by surprise when a booky claims to be his father, whom Ned thought died many years ago. Before Ned can untangle the web of deceit his father is murdered. Ned finds himself trying to make sense of things and in the process becomes a target.

I recommend this book.
