Both Kim Stone books would be great on the screen. But my favourite is a book we also just read, Tuesday Falling, by S. Williams. Spectacular fight scenes. Emily Blunt maybe?

Sandy | 499 comments "Green Hell" by Ken Bruen, "The Missing & the Dead" by Stuart MacBride or "Little Black Lies" by Sharon Bolton....these are among my favourite reads so far this year. But because they are, I might end up terribly disappointed by the movie as I'd have really high expectations.

Judith | 559 comments It would be very interesting to see what film makers did with the Stuart MacBride books wouldn't it?

Can you imagine trying to cast DCI Steel?

After finding out what they're doing with Girl on the Train, I hope Hollywood never discovers either. They'd reset the MacBride books in Miami & move Little Black Lies to Hawaii. And as for shooting those beached whales . . .

Judith | 559 comments Yes, just who would play DCI Steel :-)))

L.A. Kent | 99 comments For me, any of the Lucas Davenport series of John Sandford would be interesting, and also and of his Virgil Flowers series. Both would need strong casting and getting the humour right would be mega important!!

Good one! She certainly looks the part.

AngryGreyCat (angrygreycatreads) | 554 comments I would like to see the Elly Griffiths series with Ruth Galloway. Don't know who would play the part though.

Yes Emily Blunt would be great in Tuesday Falling. I quite enjoyed that one and the setting would be fascinating on the screen.

That's a great pick. The setting would be so atmospheric. As for Ruth, no stick thin Hollywood actresses need apply ;). Casting Cathbad would be interesting...I can see Rhys Ifans in that role.
