June 2016 Group Read Nominations

[Bill]

I nominate Andrew Taylor, Thr Four Last Things, as value read. It is the 1st of a trilogy but chronologically last, so a perfect standalone in which the villain's story can be explored in reverse order. Taylor is unquestionably the best English author of historical crime fiction living & I wanted to nominate The Ashes of London for main read, but $20 for a Kindle book is simply absurd - my copy of the English hardbound was only £15, a nice big book with large type & thick paper you can throw @ a terrorist if necessary.

Got this on my Kindle, David. It'll give me an excuse to move it up in the queue.

I'd meant to sit next month out & work on the TBR, but had some real problems with In a Dark Dark Wood - see my review. So as an option, I nominate Lucie Whitehouse, Before We Met. i'd been a bit rough on one of her earlier books & should like to see her get another chance.

[Bill]

That review has some likes from women readers but the important thing is that we have a choice for next month.

I often feel that way myself with group reads, but please help us in the future by nominating books you'd like to read.
