Nutshell - Ian McEwan

Strange book.  The narrator is a soon to be born fetus.  Unfortunately, the story didn't grab me, so I didn't finish it.  Too much navel gazing (ha ha)

La Première enquête de Maigret - George Simenon

Premier livre de Simenon et de Maigret.  Belle évocation des divers milieux de Paris du début du 20e siècle.  Un auteur qui élabore non seulement un mystère, mais qui aussi met en vue le monde social et le système de classes en opération à cette époque.

Love is Blind - William Boyd

Latest by Boyd.  A beautiful exercise in writing.  No real current issues as a focus this time.  Music plays a big role in the book.  A meander around Ireland, France, Russia and a few other spots, in the late 19th, early 20th century via pianos and music.
Beautifully written.

Glass Houses - Louise Penny

Her latest novel.  She seems to just keep getting better.  Topical foci this time:  police corruption (again) and drug smuggling.

Killing Commendatore - Haruki Murakami

Another strange book from Murakami.  Such a mix of things - traditional Japanese art crossed with opera; caves, pits and tunnels like some neolithic religious or birth ritual, a pursuit of a girl into what seems basically to be the Greek land of the dead with the River Styx and the boatman,  underground plots to assassinate Nazi officers, impregnation through dreams - really a bit of everything.
The main character is a painter, and there are some great descriptions of the creative process behind his paintings. 
As in his last book, you go the whole way round to end up back where you started - a separated couple getting back together.
A unique author.
