#13,The Girl before, by J P Delaney

A perfectionist architect with a long set of rules for prospective tenants, a previous renter who died under mysterious circumstances, and a house that knows more about you than your mother. A nice taut story.

#12, Signals: New and Selected Stories, by Tim Gautreauz

These stories tell of simple people, small good deeds and the unexpected results, opportunities taken and opportunities missed. They explore the richness in everyday life, for good or for ill. The characters range from the bug-man to the furnace man to a group of old-timers playing bourree, mostly in southern Louisiana. Life-affirming and optimistic, these stories leave me smiling.

#11, Vicious Circle by C. J. Box

This is one of the best Joe Pickett books yet. The last few I read had gotten repetitive, with Nate Romanowski serving as a deus-ex-machina whenever Joe got in trouble. If you had grown a little bored with Joe Pickett, this should revive your interest.
