This sounds like a good one :)


Wyoming Game Warden Joe Pickett is targeted by ex-rodeo star Dallas Cates, who wants revenge for the destruction of his family. Plenty of action in this thriller. 3 stars.

I'm only a couple chapters in, but I love that the detective and investigator are back from the other Promise Falls novels! I'm interested in finding out if more characters will return.

‘Escaped P.O.W., Eric Newby, hides out from German soldiers and fascist sympathisers in the Apennine Mountains of Italy…’

My Review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

American Gods & Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman I am really loving his books I am so glad someone post about his books on the Horror Book group. His writing remind me alot of Stephen King.
Corrupted by Lisa Scottoline I am not really loving her newer books in this series like her older one IMO was best! Her new ones its like she not trying anymore
Heartless by Marissa Meyer I am so glad when my library got this book I loved it but i love Alice in Wonderland too! OFF WITH HIS HEAD!
On Borrowed Time by David Rosenfelt Another great author! I am really loving his writing
Night Watch by Iris Johansen & Roy Johansen Not really care for this one it was okay but they both have writing better books IMO
No Way Back & The Dark Tide by Andrew Gross You know I never knew he wrote books by himself I knew he wrote books with James Patterson so I though i would give him a shot and I am loving his writing. IMO I think his wirthing is better then James Patterson
L.A. Outlaws by T. Jefferson Parker Okay of book but I have read better books


some really fine stories included, but NOT a century's worth!

CAT TELLING TALES




This book is a double whodunit....two mysteries in one. One story is an homage to the style of Agatha Christie....murder in the manor house; the other story is a modern tale about an editor looking for the murderer of one of her writers. Very cleverly done. 4.5 stars

I am still reading The Return of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle.


I only started it today and I am already half way through total page turner

We Have Always Lived in the Castle has been on my bookshelf for over a decade. Fortunately, this group will be reading and discussing it next month. It should be an interesting discussion. Here is my review.
The second book is The River of Kings, the latest book by Taylor Brown, the author of Fallen Land. Here is my review.



I've read the first 18 books in this series and enjoyed them all. I think there was a TV movie with Mark Harmon.

The Girl in Kellers Way



A schoolgirl is abducted from a sweet shop in England and her family despairs as the police try to find the child. In a different city, on the other side of the country, a woman still grieves the kidnapping of her granddaughter 30 years ago. Are the events connected somehow? Good psychological thriller. 3.5 stars

I was left unhappy that there isn't an actual Atticus Punt series to read!


Translation: How To Travel Solo?
I am going on a 6-7 week long hiking-trip (Camino Frances) by myself and my parents gave me this book as a present.

Last part of the Sookie Stackhouse-series! Also known as True Blood :)

"I was left unhappy that there isn't an actual Atticus Punt series to read!
.."
I know!! Maybe Anthony Horowitz will have sympathy for us and write a few Atticus books :)

I gave it 4*. I read it based on the recommendation of a Swedish man that I met on a cruise last year.

[boo..."Why only three stars for Nutshell? Is it worth reading?




When Nick Solberg is killed in a car crash, his wife Clara doesn't believe it was an accident - and sets out to prove it was murder. Meanwhile, Clara learns that Nick was keeping a LOT of secrets from her. Pretty good thriller but the characters don't quite ring true. 3 stars
My complete review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...


It's terrible! Don't read it! A woman becomes obsessed with a mental patient under her care and starts an unethical relationship with him that could be qualified as rape. She devotes her whole life to torturing him in the name of science and claiming that she loves him when she refers to him as the amnesiac subject always except when addressing him. Very repetitive and everyone talks about themselves in the third person and by full name for the whole story. totally disgusted by this book that makes a mockery of smart women and mental health and it's studies.
