Atrautten | 7 comments Pick up both Cormoran Strike novels by Robert Galbraith, The Cuckoo's Calling and The Silkworm, they are very entertaining.

Bill Take a look at the group Bookshelf, Anamil. You'll probably get many excellent recommendations there. Good luck.

B.J. Bourg (bjbourg) I highly recommend C.J. Box's Joe Pickett novels. There are quite a few in the series. I've only had a chance to read a couple in the series thus far, but I loved them and plan to read more.

Marti (martimelrose) | 77 comments Yes! love C J Box! Prefer him to Longmire actually...sometimes I think seeing a tv series or movie can ruin a book series for you...I liked the Jack Reacher series by Lee Child but Tom Cruise was SO wrong to play the part(for me) that now I cant help but envision him in the stories...Longmire was ok as he was more like I imagined but have to be careful in future! lol Also, Linwood Barclay is good.....
