Lorry-driving sim sounds like a joke, but then you try it just to see what it's like. 130 hours later you find yourself managing half-a-dozen garages across Europe with two or three times as many drivers working for you, while you simultaneously worry about getting a load of cement from Birmingham to Dusseldorf on time. The combination of driving, business management, and strategy/RP really does exert a peculiar attraction.

A big time sink, obviously, but not quite as easy as it sounds: the trucks are not easy to control on some of the roads, and every time you ding your rig or some idiot drives into the back of you it costs you money and can reduce your profit. Much of the time you can still relax and enjoy the beautifully rendered environment of the game - countries really do look different, although famous landmarks are a bit thin on the ground. Possibly not where the kids are at, but still a weirdly relaxing and absorbing experience.

An Explosive Night Market
Lana Lee is excited for the night market this summer. It should be fun and a good chance to draw more customers for her family’s restaurant. However, the first night ends with the explosion of one of the food trucks in attendance. There is one fatality – the owner of the truck. His wife was a friend of Lana’s mother’s, although they have drifted apart. When the police look at the wife as a suspect, Lana jumps in. Can she clear the woman?

It’s been a while since I visited Lana, and it was nice to be back. I like her and her family and friends. I especially like how realistic the family dynamics feels. A subplot involving the Lee family was also well handled. The mystery started strongly, but the pacing did lag a bit in the middle. Lana was a bit stupid at the climax, but I did still enjoy how it played out, and everything made sense at the end. If you are as behind as I am, you’ll enjoy this book.
