John Connelly
A review on Goodreads talking about a John Connelly book reminded me of something that happened at a book conference years ago. I think it was Bouchercon. I don’t remember the city. I had read a John Connelly book and I told my wife about one scene had really given me the willies and even a nightmare. The willies and the nightmare don’t happen that often. My mistake was telling the wife. The scene

is starting The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue: Ho, Wow, this is one of those books where you drop everything, life comes to a complete stand still while you read it. This is the gem, the favorite of the year in the making. Stand up and pay attention, this is a Wow!
What skill, what writing craft, what voice. The kind of book that makes me ashamed to say I'm a writer.

| I liked this one well enough. The author has great control over her writing craft. Her characters are well drawn and three dimensional, one of the more difficult aspects of writing. This book is only three stars out of five for me I almost put down s ...more | |

Hello, David! Thank you for contacting me. Congratulations on your books! Happy reading, writing, and everything else. Keep safe and well. Blessings!Best wishes from Majenta
Thanks for answering and friend invite. Looking forward for your bookish updates. Stay safe and healthy. Happy Reading!
Thanks for the friend request, I hope you will join my group "A Good Thriller"I do enjoy action/thrillers.
Hi David, I am so excited. I received your ARE of The Heartless today. I look forward to reading another of your Bruno Johnson novels. And I especially thank you for your note. Yes, I am sure I will enjoy, will spread the word to my reader friends, and you will certainly be seeing an honest review from me soon. Blessings, Kay
Thank you for the friendship!I look forward to reading your reviews.
Hi David - nice to meet you! Thanks for your friend request. I can see I'll have to check out your Bruno Johnson series. We seem to have read a lot of the same books and rated them similarly so I'll be interested to see what you think of The Warehouse.
Hi David,Thank you for your Goodreads friend invitation.
Cheers,
Martin
Thanks for your friend invite the other day, David. Always nice to connect with someone who reads extensively in a variety of genres. Historical fiction offers a lot of things I look forward in a book, especially when you can feel immersed in that sense of time and place. I see I added a number of your Bruno Johnson books recently and given your extensive and varied career I'm rather excited about seeing what you had to say in that series. Looking forward to poking around in your shelves and seeing what you had to say. Happy reading & writing in the meantime.
