You really have to try the audio book versions as well! The narrator is very good, and they last for hours.
Here's something just to torture you a little, Alan Furst's new book:Mission to Paris
Unfortunately, it's not coming out until June 2012, and that's the UK release, so the US release won't happen until maybe December/Janurary 2012. (Which is why I plan to order the UK edition from Amazon.co.uk!)
Here's the description:
Frederic Stahl, born of Viennese intelligentsia, ran away to sea at the age of seventeen. Embarking in America, his matinee idol looks and Old-World charm took him to Hollywood, and a life of movies and women. But by autumn 1939, the unease in Europe has spread even to Stahl's glamorous enclave. War has been declared, and though bullets and bombs are yet to fly, his decision to shoot a film in Paris seems ill-advised. The Parisians know this is their last spring, and a time to be passionate. Soon after his arrival, Stahl is drawn into a clandestine world of foreign correspondents, exiled Spanish republicans, and of course, spies of every sort. For as a celebrity from neutral America - who can travel across the continent freely - Stahl could be very useful indeed... Returning to the Brasserie Heiniger, and some of the colourful cast from The World at Night, this will be a headily atmospheric portrait of a continent in the grip of The Phony War.
