When will there be good news, by Kate Atkinson

You know how some books start at the beginning and lead you carefully through a story, explaining everything along the way?
This isn't one of those.
Atkinson sets the scene in England, beginning with a horrendous, bloody murder of a family, then jumps ahead 30 years. Jackson Brodie turns up (from earlier books), and you are jolted from one event to the next, from one character's viewpoint to another's, from one surprise to an even bigger surprise.
If you like the unexpected, you will love this. I did!

Your heart belongs to me, by Dean Koontz

This man writes literary symphonies. I love the way he uses language; I always know I'm going to read words I don't understand, and be carried away with the subtext of feelings that his words generate. The main character needs a heart transplant, he discovers after an episode leaves him weak while surfing. Although he's a young retired software genius, his money can't buy him a higher slot on the waiting list. This is a story of growing up, coming to terms with mortality, the underworld of organ selling, dreams, and Edgar Allen Poe.
