Any books you've read recently and what did you think of them?

I'm currently in the middle of rerading Stiletto by Daniel O'Malley and the Murderbot series by Martha Wells, and since they're both rereads, I'm enjoying myself immensely. Murderbot is big on Tumblr for good reason, but Stiletto is the second book in the Checquay Files series.

Basically what you need to know about book one, The Rook, is that the book opens with the main character coming to in the middle of a public park at night in the rain, surrounded by dead bodies wearing latex gloves, and she has no memories at all of herself, her life, her own name, or how she came to be there. She finds a note in her pocket from herself. Turns out she's a high-ranking member of basically the paranormal version of MI5 and someone in her own organization is trying to kill her, so she has to go undercover as herself to figure out who the traitor is. It's great.

Also the author is a nice Australian man whose day job had him operating as an expert during the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappearance, which is an interesting coincidence.
