Still reading Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. Maybe it's me but I am struggling with this book. Hard to read. All the different names and their secret names, the switching between past and current without a transition at all. It seems so convoluted to me yet it is on Amazon's top 100 Mysteries/Thrillers which is why am reading it. I am glad I got it from the library rather than buying it. Any suggestions for making it easier? It's due in a week :)

Blood of the Prodigal by P.L. Gaus

In an Amish community, a child is abducted and a man is killed. Separate investigations into these incidents are conducted.

Essentially a cozy mystery. 3 stars

I'm off to a very slow start this year. I've only finished one book so far but I am enjoying Tales of the Black Widowers by Isaac Asimov and My Name Is Michael Sibley by John Bingham.

[Xavier]

All We Buried by Elena Taylor. A very well crafted and atmospheric mystery.

My Review

[Nancy, Co-Moderator]

Under the "not a mystery" category, I finished All the King's Men by Robert Penn Warren, which I loved. After that one, I needed something lighter and less intense, so I'm reading Simenon's A Man's Head.

[Gretchen]

Finished The Devil's Punchbowl (Penn Cage #3). Still working on Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. ugh

[Sandysbookaday (taking a midwinter break)]

Pretty good start of a new series for Brennan-serial killer thriller/procedural with some overworked themes. See my full review:

I finally have the first one in this series, Barbara. Looking forward to trying it.

[Deb]

Just completed Gone Tomorrow , by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles, the ninth book in the 21-book Inspector Bill Slider series. These are character-driven police procedurals that can be read as standalones, but I'm enjoying them as a series.

[Aditya]

Finished A Necessary Evil by Abir Mukherjee. An okay read that is not as good as the first one in the series. Rating - 3/5

[Iza]

Just finished Ambrose Parry's The art of dying - excellent series, the previous was very good too.

[Linda]

I just finished It by Stephen King.

[Barbara]

Firewall by Henning Mankell

In this 8th book in the 'Kurt Wallander' series, the Swedish detective is dealing with personal problems while investigating two suspicious deaths. The book can be read as a standalone.

Good mystery. 4 stars

The Yard

[Xavier]

Liar Liar, third book in the DS Grace Allendale series by Mel Sherratt. A classic British police procedural. Quick and easy read.

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

[Xavier]

Hidden in Plain Sight, by T.S. Teller. A very impressive debut novel. A spy thriller with a paranormal premise (psychic assassins !)

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

[Jupiter]

finished The Lies We Told

[Jannelies (living between hope and fear)]

Currently reading two books:

All that's dead by Stuart MacBride


and
The Dark Winter by David Mark


There are a lot of similarities: both books revolve around a policeman, both books are set in Scotland and in both books the plot has something to do with the past. David Mark's writing is just a bit less colorfoul than that of Stuart MacBride though.

[Gretchen]

Finished Names of the Dead. It was ok and I probably gave it a higher score than it deserved but it had good action scenes. I am reading my second big book of the year which is off genre, Game of Thrones. Hope to finish before end of month

[Zoe]

^ good luck with that

[Araych]

The James Deans by Reed Farrel Coleman

Moe Prager #3, OK to read as stand-alone. Moe, ex-NYPD cop, in 1983, gets hired to investigate the death of a young intern to a rising-star politician. This is a very good entry in this series--realistic characters, a convoluted plot which emerges slowly, and a very readable writing style. 4 stars, highly recommended.

[Christine]

I finished my 8th book

[Nancy, Co-Moderator]

Finished Simenon's A Man's Head. I was about to read his The Night at the Crossroads, but it seems that I've lost my copy somewhere in my shelves, so I picked up and starting reading A Crime in Holland. I was more than a wee bit miffed at myself for losing Night at the Crossroads, but that's normal in this house.

[Barbara]

The Cruelest Month by Louise Penny

In this 3rd book in the Chief Inspector Armand Gamache series, the homicide detective investigates a woman's bizarre death. The book can be read as a standalone but - for maximum enjoyment - the series is best read in order.

Good mystery. 3.5 stars
