Nothing wrong with 11 instead of 10, especially with #11 being The Bone Collector.

We were already on #9 in this list, so I guess these would be 10 and 11?

I bought this in a weak moment... and it's been sitting there staring at me ever since... will I or won't I start it?

Did we not finish Mystery Book You Didn't Finish and so are trying to now? If so...
1)The Bodies Left Behind A Novel
Highly recommend, Author I normally read but after 75 pages all I got from this book was a headache.
2)Daddy's Little Girl, completely lost interest about halfway through and gave up.
3) L.A. Outlaws by T. Jefferson Parker: The main character in this wasn't likeable at all, and the storyline wasn't interesting enough for me to keep reading.
4) The Yiddish Policemen's Union picked it up twice and both times stopped at page 10 (!). Confusing, contorted and didn't grab me.
5)Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell I think that counts, and it's one of the very few I allowed myself not to finish, although I own it and will try again.

Mystery/Crime books adapted into movies:

1. Murder on the Orient Express - That's my all time fave!!
2. Murder at the Gallop (After the Funeral, but with Miss Marple instead of Poirot!)
3. A Time to Kill
4. Death on the Nile - Fantastic Film, one of my favourites
5. Angels & Demons - have you seen it yet? I liked it much more than The Da Vinci Code movie.
6. The Pelican Brief - very good movie
7. Kiss The Girls
8. The Client( i know too much Grisham but they do adapt a lot of his novels)
9. The Hound of the Baskervilles
