Sandy how are three of your books going?

[Nancy, Co-Moderator]

Not crime, but I'm enjoying Charles Yu's Interior Chinatown.

As far as mystery reading goes, I'm eagerly awaiting my copy of The Decagon House Murders by Yukito Ayatsuji which Book Depository said was on its way. After that, I start working on the Colección El Séptimo Círculo list of crime novels published by Borges and Adolfo Bioy Casares between 1945 and 1956. In English, not in Spanish.

Sadly, a number of the books are long out of print, but I'll muddle through with what I can get.

I'm enjoying Agent 6 by Tom Rob Smith and The Coroner by M.R. Hall. I've also been focusing on Nevil Shute this month and am reading a 'prophetic warning' about the danger of WWII and air raids against England, What Happened to the Corbetts. It's sort of a precursor to his later work which warned about the danger of nuclear war, On the Beach.

Finished Interior Chinatown by Charles Yu (fantastic, if a bit strange); starting The Public Burning by Robert Coover and getting ahead of my Christmas reading a bit early with The First Leonaur Christmas Book of Great Ghost Stories.

I'll be cooking all day today, so I just want to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving. Among other things, I'm thankful for the very good people in this group.

In this 25th book in the 'Alex Delaware' series, a female teacher at an exclusive prep school dies in odd circumstances. The book can be read as a standalone.

In The Dark

[Barbara]

Be Frank With Me by Julia Claiborne Johnson

Finished Middle England by Jonathan Coe

My review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/3632014178

[PattyMacDotComma]

I read the 4th book in Charlie Garratt's Inspector James Given series, Where Every Man, and I'm sure readers of the earlier books would like this one, where he is facing the fast-approaching Nazis in France in 1938.
3.5★ Link to my review of Where Every Man

[PattyMacDotComma]

I also read the 4th book in Graham Brack's delightful Master Mercurius mystery series. Mercurius is a 17th century Dutch minister/priest/university lecturer who has a talent for investigation. The Noose's Shadow is another entertaining adventure!
4.5★ Link to my Noose's Shadow review

I'm at 239, but half of them are SF&F and not Mysteries and probably about 20-30 of them are novellas/short stories

😮😮 good for you!

[Chris]

Finished the very good alternative history suspense novel SS-GB by Len Deighton and the excellent short mystery The Hanged Man of Saint-Pholien by Georges Simenon. #4 in the Inspector Maigret series but could read as a stand alone.

[Sandysbookaday (taking a midwinter break)]

Escapade by Walter Satterthwait

Charming, smooth easy read. English country house, locked room murder ( or was it suicide?), Harry Houdini, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. What's not to like. Very well done -- 4 stars.

Maigret is my go-to series when I need calm in my reading. I love these books.

Consolation by Garry Disher

In this third book in the Paul Hirschhausen series, the police constable deals with cases ranging from underwear theft to men on the run. The book works fine as a standalone.

Engaging book about the everyday life of a rural cop. 3.5 stars

I've only read his Inspector Challis series so far. He tells him a mean story.

Shadow Sands by Robert Bryndza

In this second book in the 'Kate Marshall' series the former police detective looks into a death and a disappearance. The book can be read as a standalone.

Solid mystery. 3 stars

The Nightworkers by Brian Selfon

Really more a novel than a mystery, the story of criminal money launderers is told from several viewpoints. It's an interesting exercise but it's not an easy read. And left unsaid is where all this money comes from and what it pays for. 2 stars.

[Shannon]

Got done reading these


loved these all gonna go to the library to see of i can find some new books

[James]

Now working my way through V2 by Robert Harris, his latest hardcover release.

[Mihail]

Just read The Whisper Man and it was quite good. Now I started Labyrinth and I hope it will be as good as the before mentioned.

Silent Night

[Araych]

The Polish Officer by Alan Furst

Absolutely wonderful episodic novel about a Polish army officer in 1939-40 who becomes a spy fighting the Nazis. Furst has written several novels about this time period and they're all between good and great. This one is fascinating -- 5 stars.
