Ron hummer....I really enjoy the banks series as well.

[Andrew✌️]

I've finished in these days Don Quixote, a very good collection of adventures around this character. Currently I'm reading Pale as the Dead, a good mistery, light and no scary.

[Andrew✌️]

I'm reading The Maltese Falcon, an enjoyable novel. Finished this I think I could try with Philip Marlowe.

[Susan]

I'm reading "Under a silent Moon" by Elizabeth Haynes. Great story line so far.

[Andrew✌️]

I finished The Maltese Falcon and I'm reading The Big Sleep.

[Judith]

I am reading the Kerry Greenwood bake shop series and really enejoying them, I also enjoy her Phynne Fisher books, they are quirky and I enjoy quirky.

[Susan]

My PBS station has introduced us to the "Miss Fishers Mystery". I Love them and the actors are superb, especially Miss Fisher. It's interesting they take place in Australia.

[Judith]

I have seen all the Miss Fisher series, really good, I have an added interest, my son lives in Australia

[Andrew✌️]

After finished The Big Sleep, the first Marlowe I ever read, now I'm reading Smoke and Mirrors and The Drawing of the Three.

[Nancy]

I am thinking of reading Stella Stafford's Little Wychwell Mysteries. Has anyone else read her books?

I finished Still Life: a Chief Inspector Gamache Mystery by Louise Penny.

Thanks,

[Judith]

The Inspector Gamache books are really really good, I hope she carries on with the series

[Elaine]

I have only read one of the Inspector Gamache books, which was OK, but not quite my thing. I did see that she has another one out in August - The Long Way Home.

[Judith]

The series had a background theme in all of them and it culminated with the last one, I will be interested to see if the next one continues to allude to the theme.

[Susan]

Thanks for the info about the Gamache book in August. I love this series. I thing you have to read the series starting with the first.

[Kim]

I've always wanted to read the Gamache series.

[Judith]

They are best read from the beginning and very enjoyable also a little bit quirky.

[AngryGreyCat]

Just read For anyone who wants to read a change of pace - this is a satirical spoof of "village" mysteries. The protagonist even has a checklist to go by, including obtaining an animal sidekick. Not my usual read but very funny and well written. I much preferred it to GM Malliet's Death of a Cozy Writer which is along the same vein.

[Susan]

That sounds like a fun read and I'm going to order it. Just finished "LOVE STORY WITH MURDERS" by Harry Bingham. Excellent story line and a very quirky new detective.

[Judith]

I have made a note of the book and will ask the library about it, we cannot always get titles because of the cut-backs

[Susan]

Wow, my library had it so I ordered it. Thanks for the suggestion. I too need a break from some of intense books I seem to read.

That series looks really interesting. I put the first one on my TBR list.

I loved her Corinna Chapman series.

I tend to alternate heavier and lighter reads, with heavier reads being thrillers or darker mysteries or nonfiction and lighter reads being cozies, women's fiction or something funny.

[Judith]

I have just ordered it from the library, looking forward to reading a new author

[AngryGreyCat]

Just read The Guards by Ken Bruen. I really enjoyed it.

[Andrew✌️]

A couple of days ago I finished The Drawing of the Three. The Dark Tower is a great series by King, this novel better than previous. I hope to finish all books before the end of the year. Now I'm reading The Number of the Beast. Funny book.

[Judith]

Ihave just finished Linwood Barclay's No Time to Say Goodbye, it was really good, typical of his plots but good anyway

[Wendy]

I enjoyed that one of his, too, Judith. I won a pre-proofed copy in a prize draw just before it came out! I love the twist at the end... Can't remember the exact ending, come to think of it, but I remember it was good. I'd be happy to read it again but I've got too much else waiting on my TBR pile!

[Judith]

All of his books are like that, real page turners, isn't it good to have a lovely TBR list?

[Wendy]

Definitely! There's something very warm and comforting about it! Have a good weekend. :-)

[AngryGreyCat]

Just finished Really enjoyable read!

[Judith]

Thank you Wendy, you too. :-)))

[AngryGreyCat]

Reading This is the series that the Jack Taylor TV series is based on

[Judith]

Just finished Trust Your Eyes by Linwood Barclay, it was really good, I enjoyed every page, one of his best I think.

[Elaine]

A Short Film About Serial Killing. I started it last night. It seems OK so far but still a little undecided.

[Judith]

I love the Stuart MacBride books, they can get a bit gory at times but the charactors are very entertaining, I always make a bee line to be first on the list when they come into the library.

"Dead Before
Morning, Geraldine Evans.

[Andrew✌️]

I finished 'Salem's Lot and I'm reading Song of Susannah. In November I could finish 'The Dark Tower' series.

[Judith]

I have been introduced to the Inspector Bruno boos by Martin Walker, they are really good, set in France they have good solid mysteries with a thread of humour running through them, I can highly recommend them.

[Susan]

I'm enjoying "murder on Page One" by Ian Simpson.

[Andrew✌️]

I've finished And Another Thing... and now I'm reading Pet Sematary. Considering the latest books, this is the year of Stephen King for me.

[Sandy]

Just finished this. Brilliant!

[Andrew✌️]

I've decided to read some horror books this month. So I'm reading The Shining and American Vampire, Vol. 1.

[Nikkiplans99]

I'm reading Jojo Moyes Me Before You. This is the 2nd book of hers I have read and enjoyed. A little change of pace.

[Sandy]

Currently reading. Great addition to the series with an intricate spy vs. spy plot & dryly funny dialogue.
