I'm with you. I read the first 2 chapters of this trashy novel and that was enough!


message 11: by Jane (new)

Jane Leslie It just goes to show that the reason there are so many different types of books is because people's tastes are so different. I love science fiction but some of my friends find it unrealistic and boring. Oh well, with an ebook library card, I can try them and just return them if they don't interest me. I can't believe how much money I've saved on books since I began to use "Libby"! It's so much better to borrow than to buy!

Erica When I Was You looks interesting.

I made it all the way through. I hate read through the last dozen chapters or so but I finished it.


message 15: by Daniel Grey (new)

Daniel Grey The Holdout was awful. No originality at all, not a single character that was likable enough to root for or unlikable enough to love to hate, and the twists were obvious and clunky.

Me too. I borrow, read, and then return. If I really like a book, I can always buy a copy later on.

Yes! Simone St James is one of my favourite authors now. I absolutely adore her post-WWI stuff, but Sun Down Motel was also really good! (I had an advance reader copy)


message 22: by Isabel Catherine (new)

Isabel Catherine Hart The Wives was terrible. it was so trashy. The writing was juvenile and the plot had the potential to be interesting but it went down this bad hole of irredeemable plot points and predictable twists.


message 23: by Nilufer (new)

Nilufer Ozmekik I nearly read all of these books from the list. “Long Bright River”, “The Other People”, “Sun Down Motel” are my winners. Also “Things in Jar” is unique and well-written book and I’d like to read more from the author.


message 24: by Ryan (new)

Ryan Really looking forward to getting into Mysteries for 2020!


Cheryl Huntebrinker I thought Long Bright River was great!


message 26: by Juliet (new)

The Curs..."


I am reading the Ebook, not the print book. But I reckon it is the same book, the author is the one you had written above - Neeraj Bharti. So above information should be the correct one.


Bobby J McDaniel Jr This book is Listed On Goodreads. I'm not what you by listed Here. Unless you mean on the 24 book list. It does not look like something I would want to read. It would be unlikely you find a book that is not listed in the Goodreads site. I Have 1200 eBooks/Kindle Books & are listed on goodreads. Most of them are Unabridged Kindle edition eBooks which Means they everything the Print edition Has. I 3 Kindle in Motion eBooks. They have Cool Illustrations. I think they will all have the Kindle in motion Feature but it could take a while before that happens.

Salt AÜMİNYUM Ashwathama", not mentioned in the list. Not done with it yet, but the book is too good. I don't know how to get it listed here."
Alüminyum


Bobby J McDaniel Jr That list is Based on How Many people are reading the book. The List of 24 likely has large amount of people reading them. I'm not paying 11.99 for that book.


message 34: by Megha (new)

Megha I am not able to understand what do you mean by "24 likely"... is it some other website apart from GR, or just an odd vague number. And when you say "Many people", remember that even the "many" started with any "first" reader. The book is so good that I wished it could be listed here. But if it doesn't match any criterion, just forget it and don't sweat over it. Probably, these 24 books are JUST your priorities.


Bobby J McDaniel Jr The subject line is "24 New Mysteries Readers Are Loving" Those 24 books are based on how popular they on goodreads. The Book you are reading is not listed members of goodreads lists they are reading. Your book is listed on goodreads. I found it last night. you have the ebook. you have look at the other editions.


The Curse To Ashwathama

by Neeraj Bharti (Goodreads Author), Megha Bharti (Editor)

Rating details · 11 ratings · 9 reviews
Sahil, the son of Thakur Pratap Singh, the generous, well-respected chieftain of Ratnagiri, returns home after winning the annual rifle collegiate championship. After he spends a few fun-filled days, a hidden and dark truth gets unearthed to him that should have stayed a secret. A grisly trade of organ trafficking had gripped the village under its claws all these years. And to feed the trade, a few veiled men regularly kidnap and kill innocent villagers. In an interesting turn of events, Sahil joins hands with the racketeers. But things go for a spin when Khan, an honest police officer, joins the probe to nab him in a cat-and-mouse game.
Filled with deceit, the triangular love story lists an encounter with a yeti. A thrilling courtroom drama is sure to glue and bind the readers to their seats. And the two wonderfully played games of chess would enslave the chess lovers. (less)

Megha You are jumping the gun, Bobby. The subject line, as you said, is "24 New Mysteries Readers Are Loving" . It doesn't say Mysteries that are being read by "Many" users. Moreover, even if a novel is being read by many users, it doesn't mean it would be liked or loved by all those users. Users do give 1 or 2 stars as well.

Moreover, I see the blog posted by someone with the name "Cybil". I have seen your activity, you are replying to almost everyone who suggests any book that is not part of these 24 books, that makes you eligible to be flagged for spamming the users. Please go through the terms and conditions of GoodReads. As per what I understand, any reader (like me) is free to list his or her favorite Book in the mystery section, without caring if the book is part of 24 or not. Stop patronizing the readers, Bobby :)


Bobby J McDaniel Jr Typical Hateful Democrap.

Instead of answering my question, for which you have no answer, you are uttering these savage words. I am flagging your comment as spam. It is you who pushed in your butt in the conversation, violating the rules of GR.
