Common Murder - Val McDermid

This was a perfect murder mystery for reading when I wasn't feeling great - I have that bug that's going around :( It wasn't too long or too complicated, and it's a book in a series, the Lindsay Gordon series, so I was already somewhat familiar with some of the characters. It also wasn't too scary, so I could read it in bed. One of my fave mystery writers, Chelsea Cain (for grown-ups only and way too scary to read in bed!) recommended this author to me, and I quite enjoy her writing. I'm going to try a different series by her next. Grown ups looking for a fairly uncomplicated mystery might give Scottish author Val McDermid's Common Murder a try.
