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 am currently reading Janet Evanovich's Hard Eight (Stephanie Plum, No. 8). I really love reading the series.
I just finished reading
the last of the Kathy Reichs series. 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?
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.
I am finishing up Second Honeymoon
and then I'm going to start the journey through the Millennium series. I already have The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
waiting in my Kindle library! Looking foward to it!
Just finished the wonderful new book by Jefferson Bass, Cut to the Bone. It was one of those books that was hard to put down. Very good book!
For the next week or two i be reading onSister by Rosamund Lupton
Black House byStephen King
Gone Missing by Linda Castillo
Killing Floor by Lee Child
The Sixth Man by David Baldacci
Salem Falls by Jodi Picoult
I've started The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
and made it past the first 100 pages. Whew... they were a snoozer but now it's getting good, just as I was told. Let's see how the rest of the book goes!
Since I finished "W is for Wasted," I have listened to Bones of the Lost and I am currently reading It Happens in the Dark.
Got Done readingThe Stranger You Know by Andrea Kane *LOVE IT*
Still Life by Louise Penny *Didnt care too much*
Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult *LOVE IT*
Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill *LOVE IT HE REMIND ME SO MUCH OF HIS FATHER.*
Now I got to start on
Necessary Lies by Diane Chamberlain
And Also going to read these too
Fatal Strike by Shannon McKenna
The Night Is Alive by Heather Graham
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! :)
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
I have all of Sue Grafton's novels too but just haven't given them a go yet! lolI'm catching up on some other series books but hoping something from my favourite mystery writers put out something soon!
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.

Aiesha wrote: "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 tha..."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.
I've finally finished The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
. 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
and this one is NOT starting off boring like the first one so I'm excited to dive into it!! Happy reading all! :)
Almost finished with The Chocolate Book Bandit, part of which takes place in my favorite location: a public library!
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 outNow 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
I'm reading a book I won off Goodreads by Linwood Barclay called No Safe House
. 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
. This one is sure not to disappoint based on what I've heard so far!!
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
by Liane Moriarty
by Janet Evanovich

I'm reading The Apprentice by Tess Gerritsen, it's only the 2nd book I have read of hers but enjoying it

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.

I've hard tha..."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.
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.

Olivia wrote: "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 entert..."I have read all of this series to date, and the wackiness and hilarity continues from book to book.
I am close to finishing up No Safe House
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
, Six Years
, Into the Darkest Corner
, and A Time to Kill
all waiting for me in my Nook library!! I also have Remember When
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 just started Shooting Victoria by Paul Thomas Murphy. It is a little slow going right now so I may switch to another book soon.
Traci wrote: "Aiesha wrote: "Looking for thoughts on the Sue Grafton Alphabet series and Patricia Cornwell's Scarpetta series. Are they good?

I decided to go with Six Years
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
, 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.
