The Burning Soul by John Connolly

Charlie Parker #10, OK to read as a stand-alone. A young girl has been taken and Parker is hired to work the case. I'm a big fan of the Charlie Parker series and this one might be the best. Stronger mystery plotting than many. Highest recommendation, 5 stars.

Patterson doesn't write most of his books. It's been that way for a long time.

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Finished Dead Reckoning - never read anything from this author, it's one I bought from the library for 15p years ago, but I quite enjoyed it, nice short chapters which made you want to go 'just one more'. I did guess a couple of things along the way, but I would read more of hers if I came across them.

The Fugitive Pigeon by Donald Westlake

Bartender is mistaken for a killer and tries to clear himself with the mob in an early (1965) humorous crime story by the master, Donald Westlake. Cute story, good but not great. 3 stars.

I just enjoyed Trust, the third of Aussie author, journalist, and former foreign correspondent Chris Hammer's Martin Scarsden series. Sydney is at its corrupt, murderous worst.
4★ Link to my review of Trust

[PattyMacDotComma]

Everybody's Fool by Richard Russo is the long-awaited sequel to the popular Nobody's Fool. I'm happy to report that Sully and all were still at their stations in the White Horse and Hattie's when I left. (But you'll want to stay clear of the dog.)

Unleashed by David Rosenfelt

Andy Carpenter #11, OK to read as a stand-alone. A guy hits a dog with his car and that starts a string of complications that end up in a multiple-murder conspiracy. The dog ends up OK -- basic rule of mystery writing: ok to kill people, not ok to kill dogs. I think this is one of the better Andy Carpenter books; I really liked it. Fun, likeable characters and an interesting fast-moving plot. 4 stars.

A Dead Man in Istanbul by Michael Pearce

Seymour of Special Branch #2, OK to read as a stand-alone. Seymour is sent to Istanbul to investigate the murder of a member of the British embassy there. I had trouble with the Turkish names and also with the geography; a map might have been helpful. Also the plot was generally slow going, only 2 stars.

I finished my 36th book

[CBRetriever]

I finished my 92nd book which was Silenced and before that I finished The Fox by Sólveig Pálsdóttir. Not bad and set in Iceland which was a plus for me as I like Northern European to Greenland type mysteries.

I love it when people in this thread put a little bit about the book in their posts - that way, if you do link to a review and your sentence or two piques my interest, I'll then read the review. There's a thread like this one on the SF&F forum where I get a lot of ideas as to what to read next and that thread requires one to post a line or two about the book.

Hi Patty, can you recommend these series?

I've finished another book last week: Sorrow Bound by David Mark


I'm a huge David Mark fan and I treated myself to the books in the series I still haven't read. This one is as good as the others, with a big surprise at the end.

Nice going Christine, as usual. 👍

Jannelies, I’d recommend you give them a try. I liked them. I am a big fan of Nordic books and like almost all of them that I read.
