1977 and 1980, by David Peace - The novels continuing Peace's excellent North of England noir series. The plots are very similar, but it seems to me that Peace is making a point about the recurrence of patterns in the world. Dark, ugly, scary stuff here - recommended to anyone who likes hard-edged noir.
Talking with Serial Killers, by Christopher Berry-Dee - A sloppy, disappointing book. Mixes serial killers with other kinds of killers, changes quotes to British idiom (what other quotes have been changed then?), and makes a ton of copyediting mistakes, including crucial errors of fact. Some interesting quotes, but not a great book.
