Just finished and it was a real page turner, fast paced and interesting from beginning to end.

[Maureen]

I am currently reading Dirty Little Secrets by Liliana Hart, and I am really liking it- it is the first in this series AND as of now it is for a FREE DOWNLOAD on amazon ebooks!

[Nancy, Co-Moderator]

I've finished The "Double Indemnity" Murder: Ruth Snyder, Judd Gray, and New York's Crime of the Century, so now I'm reading Ron Hansen's A Wild Surge of Guilty Passion, a fictionalized version of the Snyder-Gray story.

[Barbara]

I'm reading A Banquet of Consequences. . by. Elizabeth George.

I requested this from the library when it was a group read (months ago) and I finally got it. Better late than never. :)

[Saeed]

just finished The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest byStieg Larsson and I liked it very much.
the first 2 books were a bit slow (in my opinion), but the story took off in book 3.

totally recommended

[Rhian]

My Review

I am starting by Stephen King

[[deleted user]]

The JJ Graves books are pretty good, Maureen.Liliana Hart Her Whiskey Bayou books are good too, and the first one is a real hoot.

I'm starting The Perfectly Proper Paranormal Museum

[SherryRose]

I'm listening to A Wicked Snow. So far it's ok, not great. I recommend reading, rather than listening. The narrator isn't very good. I think parts of the story are intriguing.

I have an original hardcover of The Rabbit Factory. I really enjoyed it.

[Marwan]

Started reading The Man Who Went Up in Smoke by Maj Sjöwall

[Esther]

Just finished The Secret Adversary. It was exciting and very much of its time: plucky young flappers and Bolshevik conspiracies!

I like it so far to. I'm hoping I end up liking the whole thing. I love finding a good series to follow.

The Rabbit Factory was one of my best book reads ever! You will enjoy the second book in the series as well !

Currently I'm reading Cruel Justice by William Bernhardt. So far it has been a first-rate legal thriller.

[Bill]

I finished The Museum of Dr. Moses: Tales of Mystery and Suspense by Joyce Carol Oates, an excellent collection of short stories. I'm not sure what category of mystery they fall under, guess from the title, they are suspense. This was my first exposure to Oates' writing and I was so impressed with how she creates her stories, her description and her ability to leave me unsettled. The Title story and The Hunter were probably my favourites, but they were all excellent.

[Fictionophile]

Just finished a compelling and well rendered debut thriller!

Arab Jazz

Beautiful cover and a murder in a multi-culti neighborhood in Paris piqued my interest, but I was a little disappointed when I found that Arab Jazz was translated from the original French.

I need not have feared, the prose whirls and whooshes and deftly captures the life of a damaged young Muslim who buys paperback murder mysteries by the kilo (literally) and is suspected of murdering the young woman he might have loved, if only. It's a netgalley ARC.

Finished reading by Stephen King

My Review

[❆ Crystal ❆]

I'm starting The Soul Catcher

[Nancy, Co-Moderator]

I've started She Who Was No More, by Boileau and Narcejac, the book which eventually became the movie "Diabolique." I'm also reading Dancing in the Baron's Shadow: A Novel, a historical novel set in Haiti.

[Audiothing]

I've just finished The Crossing, Michael Connellys latest Harry Bosch. Over the years I've read the series but I feel a little bit disappointed by this one, not quite sure why yet

[Jim]

Just started reading by Anne Hillerman

I love that title!

Finished what she left by T.R.Richmond 4★ now reading pretty baby by Mary Kubica

[Barbara]

I finished Before I Go to Sleep by S.J. Watson. Christine Lucas has amnesia; she's lost her long-term memories and loses her short-term memories every night. Who can she trust? This 'thriller' has an interesting premise but is a bit too slow for me.
3 stars.

I'm starting The Poet

I was considering this book until I watched the film the other night. The suspense element seemed to give up and die about halfway through and I was left feeling "is that it?"

Keep in mind that Hollywood tends to change things when books become films. The book might be a completely different ballgame.

[Barbara]

I finished A Banquet of Consequences by Elizabeth George.

Scotland Yard DS Barbara Havers - in trouble for not following rules - tries to redeem herself by solving unusual crimes centered around a troubled family. An okay addition to the series. 3.5 stars

The book's better than the movie Esther. More suspense/ambiguity about what's going on. Since you've already seen the movie though.....you'll have the scoop.

[Maureen]

Just started King and Maxwell by David Baldacci- it is the last in that series- I am really enjoying this book so far!

[Tom]

I finished off two totally unrelated books this weekend. First is an ARC of The Other Side of Silence by Philip Kerr. This was a surprisingly good spy tale that has more twists than a John le Carré novel. My review is here.

This morning I finished Everything That Rises Must Converge: Stories, a brilliant collection of short stories by Flannery O’Connor. My review for that one is here.

[Bill]

Just about to start Pieces of Modesty by Peter O'Donnell

It's on my to-read list this year. Interested to hear what you think about it.

[Vikki]

Earlier today I finished Count to Ten - I've enjoyed all the Karen Rose I've read so far and this one didn't disappoint.
Now I'm reading Someone to Watch Over Me by Yrsa Sigurdardottir, another favourite author. This is the 5th book in her Thora Gudmondsdottir series, I started it last year and have already the 2 previous books this year. About a quarter way through and enjoying it so far

I am the type of person who can always guess a plot twist in a film - sometimes I can even predict dialogue - so there has to be something extra to catch me and this story didn't seem to have it. I won't reject the book out of hand but I have so many others on my shelf it is slipping down the priorities list.
