Currently reading 'Blood on the Tongue' by Stephen Booth. It's a crime novel, which follows two junior detectives in a rural police force in the fictional village of Edendale in the Peak District. I was once at a book event with Stephen Booth and he told us that he writes about junior officers as it's more realistic - the Inspectors and Superindtendants in the police world do a lot more paperwork than anything else. Contrary to what you'd believe from watching or reading Frost, Morse etc. 'Blood on the Tongue' is his third novel (the first is 'Black Dog').
Also reading 'America' by Alistair Cooke. It's a very well written and enjoyable history of America. About half way through and finding it really interesting, but put it down for a bit to read a novel.
