Welcome to the group, Poornima. I hope you find the discussions and book recommendations interesting.
Hi Poornima :) Mystery/Suspense/Thriller is my favorite genre too. I've always wanted to read Sophie Hannah's books. I read a couple good suspense/thrillers earlier this year:Creep -- loved it!!! I recently won the sequel,
]Freak
The Sixes
Also, have you read any of Tarquin Hall books. I read only
The Case Of The Missing Servant but will read his other Vish Puri series soon. I also want to try Shamini Flint
Inspector Singh Investigates series.

Thanks for the add, Mona. Have just read one Sophie Hannah, and was very taken in by the book.. Will be reading more of her for sure! I am yet to try Tarquin Hall..will pick up sometime soon :)
Don't know if you tried Never Look Away: A Thriller .. Was a good thriller too, though I thought the ending was too dramatic..but kept me completely hooked on.
look forward to exchanging notes/recommendations with you

See that you are a Sherlock Holmes reader, Poornima. Welcome to the club.I have read Doyle's short stories, and have written a modern short story version of Holmes on Amazon.
I had just finished writing about Holmes when I saw that you are a reader also.

The book you are now reading looks very suspenseful and good.

Thanks Demetrius, did look up your book, it looks interesting, will try it.
The long stories by Sir Conan Doyle are absolute classics!
You mean, Poornimia (beautiful name by the way)"The Hound of the Baskervilles?" and such?
Just a little scary can be fun

Oh yes, this includes "A Study in scarlet", "hound of baskervilles" , "sign of four" and "valley of fear"....
Right. And some episodes of the new Sherlock TV series are great.Do you think a pretty Asian Watson is a good idea for Elementary?
Oh, and Don't forget to let me know what you think of
my story!

Absolutely loved the BBC version of Sherlock, totally brilliant! Ah, had read about potential US adaptation with lady Watson, am not thrilled about the experiment....
a) sherlock's equation with Watson and their camaraderie would be ruined by a 'lady Watson' b) and frankly wonder if any woman would put up being around Sherlock's eccentricities and his constant show of superiority c) also Watson being local/one of them is what let's him watch Sherlock's back
Sorry, this was a long reply?... What did you think of the Asian lady Watson idea? :)

Of course will try and let you know :) am waiting for my kindle to be shipped in next week
Just had to comment on your good point.I had reasons for thinking a pretty Asian Watson was a bad idea, but you make a good point when you state that Watson is supposed to watch Sherlock's back.
In the stories, Watson carried a gun when things were far too dangerous.
Watson throwing Kung Fu would likely look silly and turn it into an action flick.
