I have and I really liked it. I thought it gave an excellent sense of the time in which it was set.
I have also read and enjoyed his The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle.


I guess it'll take sometime for me to form an opinion of it.

I am currently reading Lorna Doone by R.D. Blackmore.

If you want plenty of laughs as well as an intelligent dramatic rendition of the current need for democracyin a comic thriller format - I recommend, Out of Kompetition...a sly take on film festivals and the wider world right now.
Best for a big summer of reading,

Mother May I

Suspenseful and fast-paced, but may be too saccharine for some.

I just finished Lara Bazelon's The Good Mother. It was brilliant. I looked to see what else she had written, but only a non fiction about the law (American.)

Recently I've been reading Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman, a book about a few septuagenarians caught up in a murder mystery, and determined to solve it! So far, I've found the book really enjoyable and humorous at times. Would highly recommend :)
The Thursday Murder Club

Just finished Billy Summers it was really good if a bit different then Kings other work that I have read. and on a really different note picked up The Break-up Book Club hope its alright so far.


The Lost Apothecary
by: Sarah Penner
Solid pick for feminist fans of historical mystery.

The current What Are You Reading thread has a whopping 5000+ comments. I thought it might be time to open up a third thread on it, before it starts to glitch up like the last one did..."
_Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst_ has been on my bedside for a long time now. I like it, but it's very dense and slow-going, and I often have to flip to the back to remind myself what certain neurological terms mean. The material is fascinating: neurobiology, and why we do the things we do--and in spite of his lofty subject, author Robert Sapolsky is hilarious. The big payoff is that once you finish a book so weighty, you get to feel smug about it.
