Finished The Evening and the Morning by Ken Follett

Birdman by Mo Hader
Finished. Could have been better, I was disappointed to some degree.

[Nancy, Co-Moderator]

I've finished reading The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman. It was fun ... very much on the lighter side, more about the people in the group (and the two cops who help them) rather than the plot. The mystery was okay but this time it was the cast in the driver's seat.

Still Life by Val McDermid

In this sixth book in the Detective Chief Inspector Karen Pirie series, the police investigate two cold cases. The book works fine as a standalone.

Good police procedural. 3.5 stars

I just saw that I put this on my TBR shelf in 2015 and I just now read it 5 years later! The Woods Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

All Is Not Forgotten. I really enjoyed this book for keeping me hooked, for the pacing, and I loved the first person minor POV. Plus, the accuracy (view spoiler)[ of the experience of rape (hide spoiler)]was very impressive! Tough read, but well done.

That said, it is very clinical, which I love, but YMMV.

CW: Very graphic description of rape, which is key to the story. And (view spoiler)[ the therapist commits MAJOR ethical violations! (hide spoiler)]

I just finished Deadly Cry and it’s a great addition to the series. Here’s a link to my review:

The Man in the Crooked Hat by Harry Dolan

Ex-cop can't stop investigating the murder of his wife and in doing so uncovers multiple past murders. Interesting book -- part mystery part novel. I liked it but none of the characters seem particularly well fleshed-out or likeable. 3 stars.

[Curlyhair]

Busy reading The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie. The first Poirot novel. Rereading it from years ago.

I read book 1 in the Lucas Davenport Prey series. I rated it 4 stars. My review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Nancy, Co-Moderator]

In keeping with October's sort of supernatural-ish books I'm reading, I've just finished David Mitchell's Slade House. I think I should have read his The Bone Clocks prior to this one, but in the long run, it was a lot of weird fun.

more to come on that one.

In crime I'll be starting Banville's Snow; for Halloween reading I've got two going on: Witch-Cult Abbey by Mark Samuels, which has had this growing sense of creep beginning with chapter one (I'm now at the midpoint and still feel the chills), and

Queens of the Abyss: Lost Stories from the Women of the Weird, (ed.) Mike Ashley

I will interested in what you think of Snow. I liked it, 4 stars. My review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... I just read a review of it in the Washington Post, and she panned it. Her review https://www.washingtonpost.com/entert...
I seem to remember that you wait to read reviews until after reading the book.

Stanley Hastings #3, OK to read as a stand-alone. Stanley does a favor for a cop friend and gets into serious trouble in Atlantic City. Fun, light weight mystery. Easy to read, great for by-the-pool. 3 stars.

Hot Six by Janet Evanovich

Stephanie Plum #6, OK to read as a stand-alone. The further adventures of Stephanie Plum, girl bounty hunter. This is one of the best in the series, very funny and with a plot buzzing ahead at the speed of sound. 4 stars.

The Blood Card by Elly Griffiths


Magic Men #3, OK to read as a stand-alone. Brighton, England , 1953. The body of a lady Gypsy has washed up on the beach. Suicide? Murder? And who is this mysterious Army General? Another excellent entry in the adventures of Edgar, Max, Emma, and Ruby -- this time with Gypsies. 4 stars.

Currently reading The Liar's Room

In all honesty, it's cripplingly slow and even though I'm only half way through, I've already worked out what happens at the end.

Just finished The Art of Dying by Ambrose Parry


Here is my five star review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Nancy, Co-Moderator]

not crime, but I've started reading The Turn of the Screw by Henry James. It's a reread but it's been so long that I have to get ahead of the action in The Haunting of Bly Manor before I go back to watching it. I'd forgotten how much I love this story.

Also not crime, finishing up Queens of the Abyss: Lost Stories from the Women of the Weird (ed.)Mike Ashley.

In This Grave Hour by Jacqueline Winspear
