16 - Pennance by Clare Ashton This was described as a whodunnit mixed with a lesbian (though probably better to describe it as bisexual) romance, so I got it as light reading. Turns out the parts of the novel about grief and love were beautifully written and quite profound. The mystery/thriller element added interest and pace to the novel, but sometimes strayed into slightly unbelievable territory (and i guessed who the culprit was before the end) though.
