I thought "Listening Woman" was the best Joe Leaphorn I've read yet (just the first 3 so far). Good mystery, very visual locations, and satisfying ending.

For a change, I started "Reliquary" by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child. My first time reading them (though I've seen the movie "Relic&quot . This one takes place soon after the events of Relic. So far, it's a very creepy page-turner... Strange, grisly murders in the undergrounds of New York City.
