      The Fry Chronicles. It's interesting going so far. I'd rather have read Moab Is My Washpot, but FC isn't bad.

 Hope you continue to enjoy it Kathryn. Despite having family here this weekend I finished The Captain's Daughter Nobody could get any sense out of me this morning till I fished the last pages. I was reading before everyone else got up. Rating and review to come.

      I just started Children of the Revolution by Peter Robinson ( Inspector Banks #21). I don't think I have read all of the previous 20 books but it will be a pleasure to do so!

 I've just finished reading The Crane Wife by Patrick Ness and it's a really lovely book. It's one of those books that is warm and romantic and leaves that feeling that something is missing once you've finished it. My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

That sounds like another unusual book - will have to add it to the wishlist. I hadn't read anything by Patrick Ness before but his writing is very beautiful.

 Still reading Frantic by Katherine Howell.
      Still reading Frantic by Katherine Howell.Loving it. Though I have to confess that I'm more in Sophie the paramedic's corner than the detective’s at this stage. But that s probably at the 50% mark, we are yet to get to know her. Or maybe it's because Katherine Howell is an ex-ambulance officer and the character of Sophie is more real because of it. Regardless, it's a gripping read. Thanks for the recommendation. :)
