thumbs up here with what i just finished

Currently reading Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn, heard it's also going to be made into a movie.

Just started Death Angel by Ake Edwardson.

Red Dust by Fleur Mcdonald based in an Australian Cattle ranch. It's no 'Thornbirds' but it's ok. I've just finished a run of thrillers, now on chick lit then I'm going YA and then Fantasy. No book buying till my shelves are empty :)

Yesterday I finished reading I gave it 4 stars. And I began to read

Started reading Time Killer. Stopped after two chapters. Current audiobooks are Master and Commander in the car and The Three Musketeers in the office. Current book is Hidden Order.

I just finished that book about a week ago. Really good.

Gone Girl was a group read last summer. You can still check it out in the Group Read Discussion folder.

I've started by Ben Winters, which is the second book of a planned trilogy. The first book was described as a pre-apocalyptic police procedural. I really enjoyed and I'm loving this one.

The library ebook section has not run out of Nero Wolfes, so another one: Before Midnight (1955).

Finished Sandrine's Caseand loved it. Now reading Her Last Breath and The Wicked Girls.

I love Nero Wolfe books! One of my all time favorites; they have a little of everything - eccentric genius detective, handsome sidekick, interesting secondary characters (Theo the orchid tender and especially Fritz the chef)... and I like to read about the gourmet food that's served. With an intriguing mystery thrown in the books are very fun.

I started listening to the audio version of Six Years by Harlan Coben.

finished reading Cheryl Kaye Tardif the river it was ok but it was a good read i thought finished it a few days ago but forgot to post it here.

Just starting

How do you like it so far? I downloaded this book awhile..."

I really enjoyed the book. I have a few of the other books in this series on my Kindle and will get round to reading them soon.

I finished The Redbreast, a Harry Hole mystery set in Norway. The book is structured so we see events during WW II (Norwegian soldiers fighting for Germany) reverberating up to the present and becoming entangled with skinheads and illegal arms traffic. Good book 4 stars.

Closed the pages of Hour of the Red God by Richard Crompton this week. Super good: reminders of the 1998 US Embassy bombing in Kenya and then the violence of the 2007 Kenyan elections and oh, by the way, but most important to our hero there's a 'working girl' murdered, a suspicious mega-church, and, of course, the requisite amount of government corruption.

Oh, and by the way, it is also a good story, well told and great mystery.

Finally starting Hidden Order by Brad Thor. Waited for the weekend because I know I won't want to put it down.

I am currently reading "Trust Your Eyes" by Linwood Barclay. I have read many good reviews and so far the characters are interesting and well written. Looking forward to finding out what happens...:)

Having a James Patterson month, just finished "Run For Your Life" and gone straight onto "Worst Case".

Hope this isn't against any rules. If it is I'll delete. This morning's daily deal from Amazon Kindle consists of 48 Hard Case Crime novels. Just bought about 16 of them.

I just finished three really great mysteries.Der 7. Tag - This is the German cover. It's called The 7th Day and is in English, but I can't find the link for it anymore. I was free in the kindle store for brief time, you might check and see if it's still free. This was a really good book.
I also read Artifact This is a cozy mystery that is due out in late August.
Then I read Keep No Secrets - also really good.
I am now reading Bait

I know this is off the genre of mystery/thrillers, but I am currently reading Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness . I am unable to put this one down. It is a memoir and medical suspense story of a New York journalist's struggle with a rare and terrifying disease. Written so that the non medical person can understand, yet with enough interesting and realistic information for us medical personnel. Very good - the word 'gripping' keeps coming to mind. I'm about 40% done - can't wait to see how this turns out. Kinda like a House episode from the patients perspective. Still no diagnosis, I haven't read the full reviews so we shall see.

Just finished Hidden Order by Brad Thor. Best Harvath novel to date. Loved it.

Just got done Confessions of a Murder Suspect by James Patterson and I soooo loved it I cant wait till October when the 2nd part of the seies come out!

Now I am going start reading


Split Second by David Baldacci, After Dark by Phillip Margolin and Last be The Face by Dean Koontz

I have just read and reviewed Just Add Spice - Carol E. Wyer. I loved the characters and the book. Now I am off to read and review Tatterdemon - Steve Vernon for the author.

The broken arm reading marathon continued this week with Mad Dog & Englishman: A Mad Dog & Englishman Mystery, Before the Throne, The Pursuit of Love, Elegy for April, and Still Life With Murder. All entertaining and/or enlightening.

I finished Six Years by Harlan Coben, a mystery about a college teacher (Jake)whose girlfriend (Natalie)left him to marry someone else; at the wedding Natalie asks Jake to stay away from her. Six years later Jake sees Natalie's husband's obituary and decides he'll go to the funeral to get a peek at her. Of course Natalie has lots of secrets so this leads to huge trouble. The story was a little far-fetched but the book was okay. 3 stars for me.

I'm nearly finished listening to the audio of Hold Tight by Harlan Coben and am 25% through reading Karina Halle's Come Alive (Experiment in Terror #7 - outstanding series)

Started last night and having trouble putting it down. I've already looked to see how many more there are available in this series.

Alan Furst's Mission to Paris . More interwar European intrigue, done just so.

Finished The Wicked Girlsand found it both somewhat grim, gritty and disturbing.

Now reading and than . Really looking forward to both.

I'm currently reading Eyes Wide Open by Andrew Gross. It's about a doctor whose mentally ill nephew jumped off a cliff. So far it has been an interesting read.

Recently I finished Black and White and Dead All Over by John Darnton. It's a mystery about a hard-nosed editor w2ho's found murdered, who was so unpopular anyone could have done it. I gave it 4 stars.

Just finished The Stranger Beside Me: Ted Bundy The Shocking Inside Story, what a disturbing book. It proves you never really know anyone completely.

currently reading What the Dead Know

Just on Beautiful Chaos and then Beautiful Redemption. Not altogether sure is I like or loathe the series. ....

What a great book!!

S.J Bolton - Dead Scared

I was given this book, and I had not heard of this author.

A British author S.J Bolton, Sharon Bolton. A great find and very pleased this book was given to me, now reading another of her books.

This book has great strong characters, a great story, a gripping plot, strong and tense all the way and building to a great final few chapters.

I do highly recommend this book and author.

You will be hooked, and you will be guessing all the way !

Enjoy

regards

Finished a couple of books the past two days, so currently reading A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Murder in the Central Committee by Manuel Vázquez Montalbán (just started) and about to start The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood by Howard Pyle.

Hi Sean, Dead Scared sounds interesting tho I notice its Book 2 in a series. Did it matter that you read it first ?

Just finished Eyes Wide Open and have started reading The Genesis Key by James Barney. So far it's been a good read.

Just finished the audiobook of Alexandre Dumas' Three Musketeers read by Simon Vance. On to Tale of Two Cities next.

Just finished which is the third book in the James McGill series. Loved the first two books ... 5 star reads.

This one would have been as well, but unfortunately it was a classic cliffhanger ending, complete with people whose lives are in jeopardy, a Waco-style standoff and a killer still on the loose. I despise this and unfortunately it is getting to be more and more of a common *ploy* with authors.

Book 4 is already published ... in two separate parts ... and I suspect I'll get to the end of those two books and there will be still another cliffhanger ending.

I'm done ... gave this one a 1-star rating and will not be reading any more of this series.

finished This book was very good. It did lag some towards the end, as it was winding up, but it was still a great story. I am a nurse and have a soft spot for anything neuro since I personally had a brain tumor, so I know I am not totally unbiased, but all in all I felt it was a well written story that really captured your attention from the beginning.

Once again having trouble figuring out what to read next....I have lots in my tbr list but none that are calling out to me. Will keep searching. Happy reading everyone

Ian Ayris still has the capacity to surprise me with his work even though I’m fairly familiar with it and feel like I know where he’s coming from. Nothing about is writing is predictable and nobody else (to my knowledge) is writing anything quite like it.
I’ve loved his short stories and really liked Abide With Me; One Day In The Life caps them all to my mind.
Jason Dean is a hard man and a bit of a thug who has started to reflect upon his life. He’s very well read after years of trying to better himself. On this particular day, he has a few jobs to do for his boss � a couple of money collections and a murder, which is the outline of the plot. However, you get so much more that plot from Ian. He quotes writers of great stature and then interprets them in a language that makes complete sense of the world, making literary wisdoms wonderfully accessible. He uses poetry to emphasise a point and then goes on to write phrases and paragraphs that are as profound as any poem.
This book’s beautiful. It’s tragic and moving and it’s very special indeed. Reading it has inspired me in some way, something relating to living and to writing I suspect.
The publishers proclaim this 'the Best Of British'; in this case, I'd say they're absolutely right to do so.
Buy it.

How is this one Rachel? I've read a few of her books lately and have really loved them. I haven't read this one yet. I'll look forward to hearing about it from you.

Anyone read any Nelson DeMille? I just got my first review and the reviewer referenced DeMille. Any recommendations.

This is actually the first Laura Lippman book I ever read. I really enjoyed it and it had a nice twist at the end. After this I read (another good one) and now I have on the wish list at my library.

I'm reading A Hostage to Heritage by Suzanne Adair. The writes historical suspence that takes place during the Revolutionary War. Really enjoy it.

I liked Up Country, Plum Island and The Lion's Game. Also read Wild Fire but didn't enjoy that one as much. If you are a stickler for reading in sequence he has some Paul Brenner books and a John Corey series.
