"Well-schooled in Murder" by Elizabeth George

Read this book largely during my plane trip to Thailand. A decent enough crime book, that dwelt a bit too much on the existential miseries of the various characters. This is the first time I've read this author, and I'm not sure if I would do her again. A 13 year old boy murdered in a private British School. The murderer arranges for it out of love for a fellow student.

"Hollow City" by Ransom Riggs (second novel of Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children)

I enjoyed this book very much. The fantasy world infrastructure hangs together weakly, but the characters and story have many unique and interesting features. The author has excellent and intelligent vocabulary, and the vintage photos are a very nice touch.
