imperfectletter101. The Art of Destruction by Stephen Cole (read by Don Warrington)
This was one of the best Doctor Who audiobooks so far. Not just because Rose had a pretty decent role and good writing, but the plot was solid and interesting. And not only that, but the characters were fun, the story was both science fiction and relevant and it took place in a part of the world the Doctor rarely (as far as I can recall) goes to -- Africa. I quite enjoyed the story and Don Warrington was a great reader.
102. Mind's Eye by Hakan Nesser
Oh, how I love Hakan Nesser. This book is the first in his Inspector Van Veeteren novels, so it was kind of interesting to learn about all the characters I was already familiar with. Intersecting in a good way, that is. The mystery is incidental to the story, it's mostly about character development, but it is interesting. A woman dies, her husband is accused and the weirder things start happening. As with many Scandinavian crime novels, we get a good idea of what's going through the killer's mind, without ever knowing who he is. The reveal is fascinating but not ground breaking. Overall, Mind's Eye is a good introduction to the series, but not necessary if you're read the other books (unless you want to see how the story and characters have grown -- which was one of the most fun things to discover while reading the story).
