Jason (jasonct) | 38 comments Greetings everyone!

I just read Don't Breathe a Word by Jennifer McMahon Don't Breathe a Word and really enjoyed it.

This is my first time reading Jennifer McMahon and really enjoyed myself.

The book is one of those page turners where you can't wait to find out what happens.

If you're interested I reviewed this title on my blog and can be found here:

Jason (jasonct) | 38 comments Hi everyone!

I just finished A Hard Death A Novel by Jonathan Hayes A Hard Death: A Novel

A solid 4* mystery/suspense read. I really enjoyed the story being told through a forensic pathologist's eyes.

Fast paced with interesting characters, grit, and suspense that I found I wanted to keep reading.

If you're interested I reviewed the book on my blog and it can be found here:

Stuart (asfus) | 45 comments I am reading Engleby by Sebastian Faulks


message 208: by Fiona (Titch) (new)

Fiona (Titch) Hunt (titch) Didn't have a book on a bus journey, so I went into a bookstore and got 9 books for £15 (3 for £5). So I am now reading The Trophy Taker - Lee Weeks and its gripping me from page 1. Rumoured to be the female version of James Patterson lol

Jason (jasonct) | 38 comments I just finished A Conflict of Interest by Adam Mitzner A Conflict of Interest and even though it is a debut author, Mitzner's writing will no doubt cement him into the world of legal thriller writers.

Fast paced, full of twists and turns, and completely engrossing. A solid 4* read.

If you're interested I reviewed the book on my blog and it can be found here:


message 210: by Lianne (new)

Lianne (eclecticreading) I am currently reading Brad Meltzer's The Tenth Justice as a bit of a break from the heavier books and from my thesis work xD


message 211: by Jason (new)

Jason (jasonct) | 38 comments I just finished Tabloid City A Novel by Pete Hamill Tabloid City: A Novel and have to say that it was amazing!
Easily a best book of 2011 for me.

The story has something for everyone - it's somber, exciting, fast paced, and a great read.

I think what won me over on this book was Hamill's characters. They stayed with me long after I put the book down.

You're welcome to read my review here:


message 212: by Donna (new)

Donna Currently reading or maybe I should say still reading Gone For Soldiers. Very interesting. Not much is written about the Mexican War and many famous Civil War generals are young lieutenants and fighting on the same side.


message 213: by Jason (new)

Jason (jasonct) | 38 comments I just finished A Drop of the Hard Stuff (Matthew Scudder, #17) by Lawrence Block A Drop of the Hard Stuff the new Matthew Scudder novel by Lawrence Block.

A quick and enjoyable enough read. Scudder takes on a case that is personal to him. Interesting characters and of course detective work.

As always, if you're interested, you can read my review here:

Stuart (asfus) | 45 comments I am just about to read Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman


message 215: by Jason (new)

Jason (jasonct) | 38 comments Just finished The Sisters Brothers A Novel by Patrick deWitt The Sisters Brothers: A Novel and really enjoyed it. Gave it 4* because it has a little of everything.
Dry humor, great characters, grit, emotion, and plain good storytelling/writing.

message 217: by Jason (new)

Jason (jasonct) | 38 comments Just finished Before I Go to Sleep by S.J. Watson Before I Go to Sleep and while a good read, I wouldn't say it was the most outstanding thriller that it's purported to be.
One thing the author does well is create characters that make the reader guess where their true intentions lie.
A 3* read for me. If you're interested in reading more, my review can be found here:


message 218: by Jason (new)

Jason (jasonct) | 38 comments Hi everyone!
I just finished Alice Bliss by Laura Harrington Alice Bliss and WOW. This is a gem of a book. A coming of age tale that is so moving.
I had a reading first with this book, in that I actually cried during the final scene. It was 2am and there I was sitting on the edge of the bed with sobbing tears. Never had it happen before.
But Alice is a moving young woman.
A def. and rare 5* read for me.
