5. I'm SO excited! I finally got "Free Falling, as if in a Dream" from the library!

I've been on the waiting list for months!

Author, GW Persson (Sweden). It's the final book of his trilogy about the Palme assassination. I devoured the first two books last year - they were absolutely fascinating - and ended up reading both of them twice, just to try to imprint all the various plot threads and characters in my memory. Then I had to wait months, because the U.S. edition of the English translation wasn't released until just this February.

I'm only a few pages in, so all I can say at this point is that the main detective character from the first two books is front and center right at the beginning, and a few other names have come up that I recall from the earlier stories.

This is going to be hard to put down - all 589 pages of it (the first two were also close to 600 pages long).

If anyone has already read this one, PLEASE no spoilers!
