Your enthusiasm is contagious -- I can't wait for the library to open again so I can grab some more books, including The Holdout.

Bruce | 3119 comments Currently reading Trevayne by Robert Ludlum. I also notice it’s one of his few one word titles, although that may be because it was originally published by him under a pseudonym. He even remarked in an interview that his titles are usually The _______ ________.


Sandysbookaday (taking a midwinter break) (sandyj21) | 4769 comments Recently finished listening to the intriguing first book in the Stephens and Mephisto mystery series, The Zig Zag Girl (Stephens & Mephisto Mystery, #1) by Elly Griffiths The Zig Zag Girl by Elly Griffiths. My spoiler free review can be found at https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... and on my webpage sandysbookaday.wordpress.com

I have started listening to B is for Burglar (Kinsey Millhone, #2) by Sue Grafton B is for Burglar by Sue Grafton, a series that I like to dip into once or twice a year.

Barbara (cinnabarb) | 9970 comments I Found You I Found You by Lisa Jewell by Lisa Jewell

This novel of suspense interweaves three storylines involving three families in England. There's an amnesiac; a missing man; and a wrong-un.

Good story. 3 stars

Original premise, but with a mystery that is a bit obtuse. My full review:

Welcome, James. : ) It's a lively group here, and if you're anything like me, you'll find many new-to-you authors and titles to add to your TBR list.

message 923: by Barbara (new)

Barbara | 1 comments I picked up an old copy of a paperback anthology at a library book sale - Stories of Suspense. A collection of very good short thrillers, including Daphne DuMaurier's "The Birds" (nothing like the Hitchcock movie) - also tales by Shirley Jackson, Roald Dahl, Lord Dunsany and Margaret St. Clair's great comic - creepy story, "The Perfectionist."

Welcome and The Sweet Forever is one of the better Pelecanos books. Shame the Devil will be a step down.

I love that book, but it's like The Murder of Roger Ackroyd: you can only read it once.

Araych | 676 comments The Soul Catcher The Soul Catcher (Maggie O'Dell, #3) by Alex Kava by Alex Kava

Maggie O'Dell #3, OK to read as stand-alone. Maggie is an FBI profiler on the hunt for a serial killer. Kava's structure of the book is to alternate chapters featuring Maggie, her partner, her friend, her mother, a news photographer, a cult member, etc. So the forward thrust of the plot and of the tension is continually interrupted. Plus, Kava's descriptive ability is no better than average. 2 stars.

Xavier Hugonet (xavierhugonet) | 45 comments The Figure in the Photograph, by Jason Parent. Set in late 19th Glasgow. Interesting from an historical and technical point of view, but quite slow paced as a result.

Araych | 676 comments Plum Spooky Plum Spooky (Stephanie Plum, #14.5) by Janet Evanovich by Janet Evanovich

Stephanie Plum #18, OK to read as stand-alone. Stephanie continues her hunt for the latest bunch of FTA's, this time a bit stranger than usual. She's aided by Diesel and Carl. Carl's a monkey. I liked this one a lot, 4 stars.
