I finished Gone Girl and really liked it. Now I can't wait to see the movie. Gillian Flynn wrote the screenplay, so hopefully it stays true to the book.

[Jannene]

I just started Jet by Russell Blake.

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

Started A Rule Against Murder last night, and just finished The Marathon Conspiracy, a historical.

Hi Tad:)
Unfortunetly Gillian is changing the ending of her book for the movie I guess.Not sure why,

[Charlotte (Buried in Books)]

I haven't read Gone Girl yet, but I had read that the ending was supposed to be changing. The authors explanation was:

Of course, the script has to be different from the book in some ways—you have to find a way to externalize all those internal thoughts and you have to do more with less room and you just don't have room for everything. But the mood, tone and spirit of the book are very much intact.

Just finished Indigo Slam . Elvis Cole's seventh literary outing is, for both good and ill, very much like the first. If you're sweet on Cole and somehow missed this episode in his continuing saga, you'll probably be well entertained. If you're like me -- on the bubble about this series, hoping the next one will do something different -- you're not going to find "new" here. Three stars.

Now reading Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk .

Reading

[Tim The Enchanter]

I am currently reading FaceOff. I really like the concept of this book - putting the famous characters of famous authors in the same story. I have read three of them so far and so far so good.

I LOVED Billy Lyyn's long Halftime Walk. What a great book.

I just finished The Racketeer" by John Grisham it was a great book! It kept me guessing until the very end. Malcolm Bannister is a black Lawyer who practiced in VA and was arrested and lost his license. VA is my home State and I was familiar with the places he mentioned, that always makes the story better I think. Read it ! I think you will enjoy all the twists and turns of the plot.

[Laurie (Kwiltreader)]

I just finished Roadside Crosses by Jeffery Deaver. Roadside Crosses. 3 * from me...it was ok, not one of my favorite Deaver's. I found some of the technical info interesting. Throughout the book, all of my guesses for the killers were wrong so I had to finish it to find out.

[Marliese]

Anyone else read books by Anne Zouroudi?

[Jannene]

I finished Jet. It was an excellent book. I really enjoyed it.

[Barbara]

I'm reading Guilt by Jonathan Kellerman. I like to check in with Alex Delaware and Milo Sturgis every now and then.

I really enjoyed this book and have now read a couple more in this series.

[Barbara]

I finished Breed by Chase Novak. Alex and Leslie Twisden have everything except a child. Hearing of a miracle-working infertility doctor in Slovenia they hop a plane to get the treatments. Fast forward ten years and the Twisdens have boy and girl twins but their home is a wreck, they're almost broke, and they lock their children's doors at night. Turns out their treatments resulted in terrible side effects. The twins run away, come across other families like theirs, and see disgusting things. There's plenty of blood and gore and tragedy in this page turner but I was dissatisfied with the ending. Nevertheless a good horror thriller.

[Nancy, Co-Moderator]

Just finished The Stone Boy by Sophie Loubiere. It's supposed to be a psychological thriller, but ends up as more of a really fine character study with some twisty parts.

Added this to my TBR list! Sounds really good!

[Agnes]

Currently reading The Bone Houseby Brian Freeman...great mystery....

[Jean]

Agnes, I just finished The Bone House. Full of surprises!

[Bill]

I've just started two new mysteries; Triptych and Cockroaches. I have a feeling they won't be light reads.

Just finished A Rule Against Murder.

[Nancy, Co-Moderator]

Starting Chris Pavone's The Accident. This is way out of my normal league, so wish me luck.

[Jannene]

I just finished .

This was a great book but aggravating at the same time. They were from the old south and very racist. A black homicide detective ends up in town and he gets disrespected every where he turns. Then an Italian girl has some stereotypes thrown at her. The plot was great though. I really liked Vigil and felt that he had the patience of a saint. He was also very smart and found his murderer.

[Alex]

Just finished The Girl with All the Gifts and I started The Final Cut yesterday.

Girl with all the Gifts was a definite surprise for me, and I recommend it to anyone who wants a new spin on the zombie book.

Final Cut seems to be a "generic" detective fiction story about 1/3 in, nothing out of the ordinary here.

[Scott]

I just finished Midnight in Europe by Alan Furst. Review to follow.

[Titas]

Getting ready to read The Devil's Road To Kathmandu, by Tom Vater, just as soon as I finish Summer House with Swimming Pool.

[Daniel]

Reading Alex and Sunset Limited,
both great reads so far. I have read several James Lee Burke novels before, so it is no big surprise that I am liking this one as well.

[Susanna - Censored by GoodReads]

Re-reading a classic: A Murder Is Announced.

[Arlene]

Also just started

[Marian]

I am getting carried away by this very entertaining and suspenseful book...

I have now completely ignored my other 2 books that I also have on the go..lol!

[Malina]

I'm halfway into In Cold Blood

[[deleted user]]

Started reading Fallen Angel by Chuck Logan. Excellent psychological military thriller. Of course, it always helps when the main character has amnesia. Can't complain about the price since it's $2.99.


I should note that if you saw the movie HomeFront with Jason Statham, you should know that this is part of a series by Chuck Logan as well.

Soooo good!! Love his books!

[Nancy, Co-Moderator]

I've finished Summer House with Swimming Pool -- has anyone read that yet? It has to be filled with some of the most repulsive characters I've ever come across. Now starting The Devil's Road To Kathmandu.

[Barbara]

I finished Farriers' Lane by Anne Perry. An appeals court judge is murdered and Detective Thomas Pitt gets the case. It seems the judge may have been planning to look into the conviction and hanging of Aaron Godman five years before. Godman's alleged victim was crucified and Godman was Jewish - all of which inflamed the public and may have led to a hasty judgment. Could it be that someone doesn't want the old case raked up? Pitt questions lots of people who tend to repeat the same evidence/story ad infinitum. This is tedious and could have been pared down. Overall, the book is an okay mystery and it's always fun to read Anne Perry's depiction of the rigid customs, foibles, and hoity-toity attitudes of the British 'upper classes' of the 1800s.

[Steve]

Just started The Private Sector by Joseph Hone and am really enjoying it. Anyone heard of the author? It's espionage/mystery and reminds me of John Le Carré. It's the first in a series. Glad I discovered it and I recommend him.

[Aiesha]

Has anyone read anything else by William Landay other than "Defending Jacob"? I enjoyed that book a lot and wondered if that was one of those one hit wonders or if he has other books that were just as good.

[Saeed]

I'm reading A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court by Mark Twain and I'm loving it.
Mark Twain must be my all-time favorite author

[Jannene]

I just started reading Trace by Patricia Cornwell today.
