Do you read Val McDermid books?

I finished listening to Jane Eyre this week. That book had so much more in it. I knew the basics of the novel, but, was surprised at how complex, and involved the story was.

I am now listening to Wuthering Heights and, so far so good. 

I also found this book at the op shop.  I've never read any of her books. Have you read any?

 I looked for it on borrow box but there are none of her novels in there and this presents me with a problem.  I see a lot of interesting booksbut don't actually read much these days. Most of the reviews l do are audiobooks.  It's the same as reading; it's just someone else reading it to me.

There are several reasons why l prefer audiobooks. As l have mentioned before l don't drive and travel by public transport.  My hearing is bad and l use hearing aides and have done for the past 8/9 years. My aides are connected to my phone and borrow box is an app on my phone so l hear the audiobook through my hearing aides.  I don't need any ear pods. It's much easier to carry a phone around rather than a book.

The other reason is I'm a house sitter and do l really want to be carrying books around,  no. 

I know myself that I rarely pick up a book these days to actually sit down and read it. But, with this book not being on borrow box that's what I'm going to have to do.  It looks interesting and l like crime novels set in the past. I just don't know if I will do that. I have another 2 weeks at my present house so that should be enough time to read it. I just need some help.

Do you read Val McDermid books? Is she a good author to read? Have any of you read this book and would you recommend it?

Let's start a conversation.
