Terrific, and you're welcome! I'm actually less of a fan of her Wexford series novels but her standalones are pretty good.

A Judgement in Stone by Ruth Rendell

[Barbara]

The Red Door by Charles Todd

In this 12th book in the series, Inspector Rutledge - a Scotland Yard detective after WW I - investigates a very baffling murder. The book can be read as a standalone.

Good story but overly contrived. 3 stars

A Game of Ghosts by John Connolly

Charlie Parker #15, OK to read as stand-alone but some prior knowledge of the personnel and prior events would be helpful. Parker is tasked by an FBI agent to find a missing PI. This book is a combination mystery and ghost story and is, in my opinion, an amazing literary feat. Highly recommended, 5 stars.

My Review https://www...."

It was just different enough for me to appreciate it, but I'd probably give it the same rating. Actually I did read it earlier to familiarize myself with the novel before the newest tv version of this came out, and I was much more disappointed by the film, which I thought was just awful. At least Miss Marple wasn't in it -- in one older tv version, the powers that be put her at the center.

Charcoal Joe by Walter Mosley

In this 14th book in the 'Easy Rawlins' series, the private detective is hired to clear the name of a man accused of murder. The book can be read as a standalone.

Interesting (but unlikely) plot. 3 stars

I've read most of Christie's books but I think I missed this one. I guess no great loss. 🙂

@Barbara I read it as it got selected as a Group read in one of the GR groups, don't think you are missing out on a lot here.

Taking the Fifth by J.A. Jance

In this 4th book in the 'J.P. Beaumont' series, the Seattle homicide detective investigates two suspicious deaths. The book can be read as a standalone.

Beaumont isn't at his best in this book. 2 stars

Hi Five by Joe Ide

In this 4th book in the IQ series, the California investigator looks into the murder of an arms dealer's right-hand-man.

The book refers to events in previous stories, but the salient details are explained well enough that the book works fine as a standalone.

Interesting characters. 3 stars

The Mercedes Coffin by Faye Kellerman

Peter Decker #17, OK to read as stand-alone. LAPD detective investigates cold case with similarities to another recent murder. I was not impressed at all with this book. The numerous characters are not well defined and the plot is not only confusing but includes numerous long boring passages of aimless conversations. 2 stars, not recommended.
