For Summer 2017 my reading list includes:
-FALSE FLAG by John Altman (almost finished, but this is like reading Homeland the TV series...just really suspenseful with characters who are absolutely engaging, frightening and endearing)
-GIVE IT BACK by Danielle Esplin (long overdue but so far every bit as engaging as The Girl on the Train- highly recommended!!)
-THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN by Paula Hawkins- yes I'm late to the event but am now listening to this on audiobook...this is mainly a study exercise where I'm trying to understand how deep to go into the mind of the character- she's done a masterful job here so I know I can learn a lot
- THE KEEP by F Paul Wilson- I knew of F Paul Wilson since my debut was published by Tor-Forge and knew that he's considered a horror master- I was blown away when I realized he won the Silver Falchion for Best Horror in 2015, the year before THE RIPPER GENE won it in 2016...so I wanted to read a classic of his
-ROSEMARY'S BABY by Ira Levin- I realized I'd never read it, only seen the movie with Mia Farrow- wow I just finished it- it's a very easy read, short but jam packed with suspense and wow what an ending- easy to see the screenplay writer coming through, just as David Morrel mentions in the forward to the 50th anniversary edition!
Others...
THE OCEAN at THE END of the LANE by Neil Gaiman
CELL by Robin Cook
THE PILLARS OF THE EARTH by Ken Follett
FRAGILE by Lisa Unger
CAUGHT by Harlan Coben
TROUBLE IS MY BUSINESS by Raymond Chandler
DO ANDROIDS DREAM OF ELECTRIC SHEEP? by Philip K. Dick
A DARKNESS MORE THAN NIGHT by Michael Connelly
COVER OF SNOW by Jenny Milchman
