Like me! And I agree, it's an interesting book. :)

I just finished Michael Connelly's, "The Poet" all I can say is holy cow this was an amazing book with everything that a thriller, suspense, and mystery enthusiast could ever want in a book. He makes you feel as you read, that you are right there with the male lead in the book. In some parts your mind is racing so you read faster to find out the next piece of the puzzle. It was intense.

My current, Eeny Meeny" by M.J. Arlidge, I am not so sure of. I give all books a chance, so lets see how this will go...diving in...here goes!

I finished The Saturday Big Tent Wedding Party by Alexander McCall Smith,

In this addition to the cozy mystery series, set in Botswana, Mma Ramotswe investigates a cattle mutiliation while Mma Makutski plans her wedding. I like Mma Ramotswe's calm wisdom and enjoyed reading about wedding customs in Botswana. 3 stars.

Yesterday I finished On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft. A nice book to learn more about the writer's job, but also about Stephen King. Now I'm reading Carrie, his first big success.

[John]

Reading The Riddle at Gipsy's Mile, third in the Angela Marchmont series set in 1920s England. Similar to the Mrs. Bradley series in that it features a wealthy single British amateur sleuth, assisted by her chauffeur. I skipped the first one, as reviewers stated that Angela wasn't present much of the time; didn't feel I missed anything starting with The Treasure at Poldarrow Point instead. Entire series is available for free monthly Kindle downloads to Prime members.

I'm currently reading Under the Midnight Sun, by Keigo Higashino. It's tough because it really is geared more toward YA readers and YA just isn't my cup of tea.

[Alex]

Just finished "The Bell Jar" by Sylvia Plath and now reading "Quiet" by Susan Cain

[Faith]

Finished an urban fantasy mystery and possibly Devon Monk's best book to date. First in the series.

Finished and it's a bit like The Godfather Meet John Rain - assassin. It is part CIA, part yakuza, part mystery and really good and fast paced. It's getting a solid B

Finished and for a cozy style mystery is was above average.

Reading and it's very good. Read half in one sitting last night.

[Francesca🌸]

Just finished The Girl on the Train and The Shock of the Fall. Definitely found The Shock of The Fall harder to read; it wasn't as gripping.

I'm currently reading Frankenstein, rereading this book now I'm at University as I read it for my English Literature A-Level and Red Queen which is a book my friend lent me. Red Queen is interesting so far, similar to fiction novels such as Hunger Games and Divergent.

I thought The Shock of the Fall was quite good.

I finished Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder by Joanne Fluke.

In this first book in the series Hannah Swensen, owner of 'The Cookie Jar' bakery, sets out to solve two murders in between baking a lot of cookies. She also meets the two eligible bachelors that form her long-term romantic triangle.
Good cozy mystery. 3 stars.

]Just read The Girl on the Train too. I am always so late reading these books I have to wait awhile to watch the movie! I haven't read Inferno and I want to see the movie. I am actually thinking about skipping the book! Thoughts? Me and Dan Brown have a love/hate relationship anyway :-)

[Tom]

That is NOT why I put the wrong hyperlink! Although its kind of funny Inferno

[[deleted user]]

started The Trouble with Mirrors

[Barbara]

I finished Fatal Passions by Adrian Vincent. (For some reason it has no cover picture on Goodreads.)

This book contains 16 short true crimes stories about unusual/interesting cases. A good quick read. 3.5 stars.

oops! That was funny, Tom. Re my thinking on Dan Brown: he was something new for me when I used to read thrillers with the first book, the second book was okay, and after that, well, he sort of got stuck in a rut and hasn't managed to get out since.

Just finished part one of a continuing series called the Bad Luck Cat Mysteries: Black Cat Crossing by Kay Finch. I suppose it could be classed as a 'cozy' murder mystery/gentle thriller, here is my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I've finished The White Devil, by Edgar-winning author Domenic Stansberry, and it was a good one. Without giving anything away, it's a sort of modern take on an old Jacobean play.

[Andrew✌️]

I'm finished Skeleton Crew, a collection by Stephen King. There are some interesting novels here, written with different styles. You can read some of them only one time, because the end reveals the twist. But others are a pleasure that you can repeat more times. :)

[Zoe]

I have just started my book clubs book called The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet..... am quite excited by it and so far so good :)

I finished Miss Seeton Rocks the Cradle by Hamilton Crane.

This cozy mystery series centers around Miss Seeton, a retired art teacher whose drawings help the police catch criminals. In this book Miss Seeton goes to Scotland, where she inadvertently thrusts herself into the middle of a nefarious plot. Humorous cozy. 3 stars.

Ruth Jefferson is an experienced black nurse forbidden to touch a newborn baby because the parents are white supremacists. The baby has a crisis and Ruth is blamed, leading to a trial. Picoult uses the story to explore racism in America. Good story. 3.5 stars.

I'm currently diving into "The Disappearance at Devil's Rock". It's one that my book club is reading and also is a semi-Finalist in Best Thriller/suspense book of 2016
