Finished Deception on His Mind by Elizabeth George.

At 600+ pages, I found this book overly long. Granted, there were quite a few suspects and we had to go deep inside everyone's head. I guess Elizabeth wanted to give them all equal time so the reader wouldn't know until the very end whodunit. If you wish to seek out this author, be advised: there are two with the same name and they couldn't be more different. The other is a Christian writer while this book is all about murder, smuggling, Muslims, human-trafficking, porn, prejudice, police brutality, and sex. Lots of sex, straight and gay. Most of the characters are unlikable and the situations unpleasant. But I've been trapped inside for days by storms and a sore foot so I read the whole thing. Can't wait to start something new but that won't be til Tuesday.

So, hope you're having a better time than I and I want to hear all about it.
