Continuing on with my electronic galley reads.

Roman Games - Bruce MacBain
Historical Mystery, set during the reign of Domitian. Very good. Better writing and more complex plotting than John Maddox Roberts' SPQR series.

Double Prey - Steven Havill
Southwestern US mystery, doesn't fall into the trap of trying to be like Hillerman, but there's more loose ends than I like.

Mirror Image - Dennis Palumbo
Psychological Mystery (think Jonathan Kellerman) set in Pittsburgh. I'm about a third of the way through, pretty decent storytelling so far.
