So I finished the bit of Audition that was left and read Whispers of the Dead by Simon Beckett. I had never read one of his books before so I wasn't sure how that would go but it's the typical murder mystery so it couldn't have been that bad.
At first I had to get used to Beckett's style of writing. He would do most of the chapter from the detectives POV but then switch at the end of most chapters to the killers POV. After a couple chapters I got the hang of it but it threw me in the very beginning. I'm used to James Patterson who does them in different, usually alternating, chapters.
I will say though, that I really enjoyed this book. It seemed to come together too quick and the killer seemed to be figured out a bit early but at the very end there was a huge twist and it made for an exciting finish to the book.
Also when I started initially reading it I remembered why I ended up getting that one, it talked about and was based in part at the body farm. Having just read Death's Acre and Beyond the Body Farm I found it very fitting.
I have one left and after that I will either be taking a trip to the used book store or confiscating my husbands Nook!
