A friend just got a bunch of Dorothy Simpson books from Paperback Swap and sent them to me but I haven't got started on the books as yet.
I read and enjoyed The Missing Ink but I hated to see the end of the Annie Seymour series. That was the best.
Boneyard is an excellent book. I really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it.
I've enjoyed all of the Jack Daniels series and reviewed most of them. I'm reading Fractured by Karin Slaughter now and haven't decided what's up next.

I thought it was a really good book. Don't miss it!
Many of the blogs are just great but I don't have time to check them on a regular basis. If I was totally retired I'd probably check them out daily. I read three newsgroups (or try to) and that is about all I can keep up with.

Lynn wrote: "Has anyone here read Sweetness At the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley? It's about a very bright young girl who decides to solve a mystery when a body is found in the family garden. The family ..."Yes, I read the book. I liked it but there have been a lot of posts on newsgroups - some loved it and some hated it.
How lucky that you get to meet Koryta. I just ordered his first two novels and I just finished The Silent Hour which was greet.

I appreciate your recommendation that I read the other Koryta books first but that isn't possible right now. The Silent Hour is for review and I'm on a deadline but I've put all of his books on my wish list.

I high..."I have a copy of The Silent Hour coming for review. It looks like I'm in for a good read from your remarks.
Linda,
The Secret Speech is excellent and carries on the story started in Child 44 but can be read as a stand-alone.
Linda wrote: "Just started The Turnaround by George Pelecanos. Never read this author before. "I recently did a review on the paperback edition of The Turnaround for Armchair Interviews and I really liked the book. Hope you enjoy it too.
Mike wrote: "Reading "Easy Innocence" by Libby Fischer Hellmann. Unnerving story about a high school child's death, was it due to hazing? Is there a group of high school girls selling themselves as prostitutes..."I loved this book and it does give you a lot to think about.
It is a very good book. Get a copy - you are sure to enjoy it.

Kim wrote: "Sandy wrote: "I have just begun reading The Screaming Room by Thomas O'Callaghan. So far so good, but it's pretty gory."Just the title sounds gory!! "
I really do like his books. I'd like to see a new one.
Evan wrote: "Not to be transparently self-serving, but Kirkus and the Chicago Tribune seem to think THE CHILDREN OF BLACK VALLEY is pretty fast-paced and page-turning.Also, definitely give Libby's EASY INNOCE..."
I would highly recommend The Children of Black Valley.
Pat R.
Yes, you are right. I was going home today and check over my list of books read - I kept thinking Kay Hooper but it was Iris Johansen.
Now I can quit thinking about it.
Good books.
Pat
