I’ve stopped and started several books over the weekend. Then I realized I hadn’t read Johan Theorin’s first book in his quartet, Echoes From the Dead so I started that late Saturday night and am firmly hooked. I’m glad that I save books like this for days like that. Plus, I just got notice from Amazon UK (no U.S. date yet) that my copy of The Quarry has shipped so I’m a happy camper. Aside from that, I know some readers have issues with the pacing of these novels. I’m here to tell you that it is purposeful. The books unfold slowly without sacrificing the story. For me, I enjoy every word, every scene the author creates because they are vivid and in such detail. Hope you all are reading something equally as good.
I’m Reading…
I haven’t heard of this. Thanks for posting.

Hi Ann,
There are three books in this series so far:
Echoes From the Dead
The Darkest Room
The Quarry (UK just came out)
Hope you will let me know how you like his work.
This is a superb book, glad you are enjoying it. And thanks for the news that The Quarry is finally out, I seem to have been waiting for it for so long. Will pop over to Amazon and check right now!
Hey Maxine! Looking forward to your review of The Quarry
Hm. I loved every bit of the first two, and when the characters and setting are good, I am not put off by slow pacing at all, but let´s see what you say when you have read The Quarry.
You’ve read it already? If he’s off his A-game, everybody has one eventually.
Yes, I know, I just pointed out that slow pacing is not ALWAYS a good idea
Gotcha.
