Matthew | 88 comments I'm reading Dreamcatcher by King (c'mon, we all know which one) and...it's just as weird as the movie. Or, I should say the movie was as weird as the book since the novel came first, of course. I'm actually enjoying it even though it's FAR from King's best. Also reading The Drop...it's a book from the Bosch series and so far I'm really enjoying it.

PattyMacDotComma | 920 comments Ian McGuire's highly acclaimed novel, The North Water, is the brutal story of a nineteenth-century whaling expedition that goes terrifyingly wrong. It is also brilliant!

Araych | 676 comments Fortune Favors the Dead Fortune Favors the Dead (Pentecost and Parker, #1) by Stephen Spotswood by Stephen Spotswood

New York 1945. It's Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin, except as women. Cute idea, pretty well done. This is Spotswood's first, and it's a good first. Hope he writes more of the series, and if so I'm sure they will improve from good to great.


message 2819: by Barbara (new)

Barbara (cinnabarb) | 9970 comments Only Truth Only Truth by Julie Cameron by Julie Cameron

A woman, who's still recovering from a traumatic assault from long ago, is stalked by a killer.

Modern story with a gothic feel, 3.5 stars

Monica (is working the heck out of   (the-pampered-reader) | 4 comments I've just finished Murder at an Irish Christmas, book six in a series I'd decided to boycott a few months ago.

I don't take back any of the criticisms I aired in my review of Murder in an Irish Churchyard, but when the audible version of book six dropped, I decided I loved the characters and setting so much that I couldn't do it.

Here's my four-star review.

Thomas (tom471) | 2003 comments I read The Paris Library by Janet Skeslien Charles
It is historical fiction, set in Paris during WWII and 1983-84 small town Montana. It is a story of love, betrayal, sadness and coming of age, all wrapped in one.

I love that book! Her other books (the ones I've read) are outstanding. Dorothy Hughes is one of my very favorite writers. I hope you'll read more of her work.

Araych | 676 comments Indigo a Valentino Mystery Indigo A Valentino Mystery by Loren D. Estleman by Loren Estleman

Valentino #6, OK to read as a stand-alone but some familiarity with the characters would be helpful. Our movie detective works to solve an old disappearance and locate an old movie thought lost forever. This is another cute entry in the Valentino series but this one, while light and enjoyable, is rather short and the mystery is much too easy to figure out.

"I finished reading a book that lots of people love, but I didn't:"

Story of my life. Case in point: Mexican Gothic which just rubbed me the wrong way for being so obvious from the outset. On the flip side, I've loved a lot of books that lots of people hate. It's all subjective.


message 2843: by Aditya (new)

Aditya | 2017 comments Your House Will Pay by Steph Cha
Finished Your House Will Pay by Steph Cha. An ambitious crime novel about the race relations between African Americans and Koreans but it is a little too neat for my liking. Rating - 3/5.

Barbara (cinnabarb) | 9970 comments Murder in Old Bombay Murder in Old Bombay by Nev March Nev March

An Anglo-English army captain in 1892 India - mustered out because of injuries - takes up sleuthing Sherlock Holmes style.

Good mystery with too much romance (for me). 3 stars
