Shirley | 2 comments Breathtakingly brilliant, this crime novel will have chills shooting down your spine and tears in your eyes. It is not for the squeamish, as some parts can be graphic in violence towards children. But--- with that said the author does a fantastic job navigating a delicate plot line. You despise this real-life villain and want him caught at all costs. I haven't been this engrossed in a read in a long time. I can't wait for more from this debut author!! I highly recommend this as a group read. There is so much to talk about!! LOVED IT!!!

I've been meaning to read this for such a long time, but other books always seem to get in the way.
Just started it and so far so good.

Hi Shannon!
I've never read Alex Kava. Do I need to read the earlier books in the series, or can I jump right into Stranded?
Thanks!

I have also read all of the Lames Patterson Women's Murder Club series and the Rizzoli and Isle series by Tess Geritsen which was my favorite. Does you guys have a favorite series?


message 114: by Tammy (new)

Tammy (coxtamtoes) | 7 comments Just started the new Jefferson Bass book, Cut to the Bone. If you enjoy Patrician Cornwell or Kathy Reigns books, you will love the Body Farm series. I have meet Dr. Bass several times and he is the real deal. Since most of these books are set in my backyard, I love them.

message 124: by Aiesha (new)

Aiesha (bigtexasaj) Looking for thoughts on the Sue Grafton Alphabet series and Patricia Cornwell's Scarpetta series. Are they good? Are they worth starting and finishing since they are quite lengthy? I've hard that the Scarpetta books start off great but the recent ones haven't been so good. Just curious as to what you all think! Thanks in advance! :)


message 125: by Julie (new)

Julie Fenton | 11 comments I have read a couple of the Scarpetta books ages ago, ( Postmortem and Body of Evidence ), I found them quite hard to get into, but I do like to think that if a book is started it has to be finished. Have never read any Sue Grafton books


message 126: by Natasha εïз (new)

Natasha εïз (emerald31) | 10 comments I have all of Sue Grafton's novels too but just haven't given them a go yet! lol

I'm catching up on some other series books but hoping something from my favourite mystery writers put out something soon!


message 127: by Maia (new)

Maia Osborne | 2 comments reading the violet hour by richard montanari, usually love his books and can't put them down, but this one's taking ages to get going properly, don't get me wrong its a good book, but unusually disjointed for this author.

I have read only a couple of Cornwell's books; they started to get too gory for me.
I have read all of the Grafton books; recently finished "W is for Wasted." They may look long, but they are pretty fast reads. Grafton paces her books well, and her plots move along effortlessly. Kinsey is a terrific narrator, very straightforward and matter of fact; and doesn't care a lot what people think of her.

Aiesha (bigtexasaj) I've finally finished The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Millennium, #1) by Stieg Larsson . I only say finally because I just didn't seem to have much time to read last month for whatever reason. Although the book started sooooo incredibly slow, it ended on a high note. I had already seen the movie so I knew how it ended, although the book is much more detailed than the movie. A lot of things are left out so it's worth reading the book if you liked the movie. I've started on The Girl Who Played with Fire The Girl Who Played with Fire (Millennium, #2) by Stieg Larsson and this one is NOT starting off boring like the first one so I'm excited to dive into it!! Happy reading all! :)


message 131: by Beverly (new)

Beverly (bjbixlerhotmailcom) Almost finished with The Chocolate Book Bandit, part of which takes place in my favorite location: a public library!


message 132: by Shannon (new)

Shannon (xoxoshannon1979) I just got done reading Girl Missing: A Novel by Tess Gerritsen I really loved this book i bought yesterday at walmart and i total couldnt put it down! Great Mystery I think it was one of her early books when it first come out i think it was called Peggy Sue got murder. If you a fan of Tess you should check it out


Now I am reading Fear Nothing by Lisa Gardner So far its seem like its a good book I think i like it better then Catch & Go


message 133: by Aiesha (new)

Aiesha (bigtexasaj) I'm reading a book I won off Goodreads by Linwood Barclay called No Safe House No Safe House by Linwood Barclay . It's a little confusing trying to piece everything together but it's still early. So far, it's really good!!

I'm also listening to my 2nd John Grisham audiobook The Racketeer The Racketeer by John Grisham . This one is sure not to disappoint based on what I've heard so far!!


message 134: by Shannon (new)

Shannon (xoxoshannon1979) Just got done reading Fear Nothing by Lisa Gardner I really enjoy it IMO this is the best book she writen in years!

Now I am starting on
The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty by Liane Moriarty

I read Bones of the Lost earlier this year. I have really enjoyed all of Reichs' Temperance Brennan mysteries. I also have several other favorite series, including Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series and Carol O'Connell's Mallory series.

This is a late reply, but just wanted to say that I love the alphabet series by Sue Grafton and definitely think they are worth reading! I recently finished W is for Wasted and am going into slight withdrawal due to the next book not being out yet! I'm currently reading Kinsey and Me to try and tide me over until the next book in the series comes out :) I also like Patricia Cornwell's Kay Scarpetta series, however, I think the earlier ones are much better than the later ones. I actually just started her latest (Dust), but haven't gotten far enough to have an opinion of it yet. I would say that Grafton and Cornwell are very different though. If you want light mysteries with a lot of humor (I love that the series remains in the 80s), you'll probably love the alphabet series. If you enjoy forensics and a bit of gory detail, with a strong main character and more of a suspenseful aspect, you'll probably also enjoy the Scarpetta series.


Olivia "So many books--so little time."" | 5 comments I just started reading The Spellman Files by Lisa Lutz. The protagonist, Izzy, has a wacky dysfunctional family so there's a lot of funny stuff. So far it's been entertaining--I've been getting plenty of good laughs.

I second that emotion on the Grafton alphabet series.

I have read all of this series to date, and the wackiness and hilarity continues from book to book.

message 145: by Aiesha (new)

Aiesha (bigtexasaj) I am close to finishing up No Safe House No Safe House by Linwood Barclay that I won here off Goodreads. It is awesome and I highly recommend it!!

Now I need some help on what to read next. I have Confession Confession by Carey Baldwin , Six Years Six Years by Harlan Coben , Into the Darkest Corner Into the Darkest Corner by Elizabeth Haynes , and A Time to Kill A Time to Kill (Jake Brigance, #1) by John Grisham all waiting for me in my Nook library!! I also have Remember When Remember When (in death #17.5) by Nora Roberts as a hardback waiting for me to continue on with the "In Death" series. So many books, so little time!! So, out of these options, what would you suggest I read next?!

I Love Sue Grafton it is light reading and entertaining. I may start Patricia Cornwell.


message 150: by Aiesha (new)

Aiesha (bigtexasaj) I decided to go with Six Years Six Years by Harlan Coben by the great Mr. Coben! As expected, this book sucked me in from the start and is only getting better! Looking forward to diving more into this one.

Also listening to Watch Me Die Watch Me Die by Erica Spindler , which is my first book by Erica Spindler. One thing I like about audiobooks is that it gives me the chance to sample new authors and decide if their books are worth investing in. I didn't realize this book was part of a series so deep down, it's driving me crazy not to have started with #1 but it doesn't appear that it's one of those types of series that you would be lost in if you didn't start from the beginning. So far, it's ok... we'll see if it picks up as it continues.
