Barbara (cinnabarb) | 9976 comments I finished Finders Keepers by Stephen King. In this second book in the detective Bill Hodges trilogy a violent young criminal becomes obsessed with the books of a reclusive author. Bad things follow. 4 stars.

Barbara (cinnabarb) | 9976 comments I finished The Well by Catherine Chanter. Ruth and Mark Ardingly buy a farm property called The Well, which mysteriously has water and rainfall while the rest of England dries up. People become resentful, Ruth gets involved with a religious cult, and a death occurs. For me the book was too long and a bit tedious. 2 stars.

Robert Kratky (bolorkay) | 28 comments I'm back-tracking a bit with my Stephen King reading having just finished "Skeleton Crew". Thens it's on to "Needful Things" with some Bram Stoker peppered in between. (Getting ready for the big "holiday"!!)

I am also trying to re-introduce myself to Ramsey Campbell by reading his second collection,"The Height of The Scream" but I'm not quite sure about this author just yet, too many false starts, I believe,
Any suggestions at to where a good starting point might be with Mr. Campbell!

Tom Mathews | 994 comments I just finished The Necromancer's House by Christopher Buehlman. It was interesting but not my favorite by this author. My review is here.

I'm now listening to Ordinary Grace which comes highly recommended by several of my friends.

Barbara (cinnabarb) | 9976 comments I finished Death of a Fool by Ngaio Marsh. During a ritual folk dance in the English village of South Mardian one of the participants is mysteriously beheaded. Not one of Ngaio Marsh's best books. 2 stars.

Barbara (cinnabarb) | 9976 comments I finished Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter, which is the group read for this month. The book is graphic in its description of violence and torture in snuff pornography, but is well-written and well-plotted. 4 stars.
