I get personal notifications (e.g. if someone likes my status or whatever) but group notifications are a full day behind. It is really frustrating.

Me either. After about 10 days, I got a couple but they were 10 days old!! And then nothing since.

A Legacy of Spies by John le Carré

This is the final novel in the series involving George Smiley. It is narrated by Peter Guillam, longtime foot soldier and loyal adjunct. If you've read The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, then this is not one to miss.

The Spies of Warsaw by Alan Furst

Another entry in Furst's highly regarded series of spies and espionage just prior to the war (WW II). In this one it's 1937 and 38 and a French Military Attaché in the French embassy in Warsaw is drawn into espionage to help his country because he can see what is to come. This is a very intelligent and subtle novel, well researched and extremely atmospheric. I loved it, highest recommendation, 5 stars.

[Christine]

I finished my 33rd book

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Given up on another two books this weekend The Good Death and The Mothman Prophecies - expected to like the second. Now started Dead Reckoning, enjoyed the first 88 pages, so that's further than I got with the other two (well, I got a bit further with Mothman, but only because Lucy was sat on my knee so I couldn't give up and start something new)

Glad to hear that Nancy. I have noticed that I've got notification e-mails after I've already seen the posts on here this week

My review of The Killing Hills by Chris Offutt

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

[PattyMacDotComma]

Aussie B Michael Radburn is a reliable, go-to author for thrilling mysteries. The Reach is the third featuring Park Ranger Taylor Bridges in a beautiful (though terrifying!) Australian bush setting.
4.5★ Link to my review of The Reach

Putin's People: How the KGB Took Back Russia and Then Took On the West by Catherine Belton. If you haven't noticed the news headlines about Russia, this is eye-opening.

Just finished Her Last Breath by Alison Belsham.


Nice follow-up to The Tattoo Thief (but can be read as stand alone).

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

[Aditya]

The Infinite Blacktop by Sara Gran. Gran is writing some of the best and most unique mysteries today. Confessional, gritty and as much about addiction as it is about the case, wonderful. Rating - 5/5

That actor, Abel Tarride, is on my list of least likeable Maigrets.

[Bruce]

Yeah. The first 2 did not seem like Maigret.

Just finished The Embalmer by Alison Belsham. Part three in a series, but can be read stand alone (although you miss some fun then).

Bad Things Happen by Harry Dolan

Very entertaining and intricately plotted mystery of several related murders involving a female police detective and a man of some mystery. Some bits may challenge logic in a small way but overall this is a dynamite story. I really liked it, 4 stars.

Just finished And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini.

Not a crime/thriller, but a foreign drama. Amazing read!
I gave it 4 stars.

[Bruce]

Finished reading by for the first time. One of his best.

[James]

Now starting on THE LION by Nelson DeMille, the fifth novel in his ongoing thriller series featuring former NYPD detective John Corey.

It has been more than a dozen years since I last read anything by this author, so I decided to revisit his stuff and see if I want to keep him on my radar screen.

[Liz]

I just finished The Maidens

The Callers Game

[Barbara]

Buried Secrets by Krissy Baccaro

Budding doctor Ella Perri is asked by her dying grandfather to go to Italy to investigate something in his past. Lots of secrets to discover.

Southern Italy is a nice setting for the mystery. 3.5 stars

That James Patterson book just has his name on it - it's not really written by him
