I can't remember who was saying here or on the currently reading thread it was the best Ballard but they were right, it's incredibly well written, the pace is perfect in the way it builds tension. As usual he proves to have been prescient in a way only William Gibson seems to currently manage, it could have been written this year but it's 40 years old. Just heard this has been made into a film and is coming out in December, hope it lives up to the book

Have you read any of her Robert Galbraith stuff?
She's just released the 3rd and I'm about half way through and loving it, the main characters are really developing now and you're right - she can certainly knit a plot together.
