Now starting LONG TIME COMING by Robert Goddard, one of his best reviewed stand-alone thrillers published back in 2010.

[Aditya]

Finished Case Histories by Kate Atkinson.

Literary crime where the complete focus is on the characters and the mystery is an afterthought. Rating - 4/5

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

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Finished Look For Me, quite enjoyed it, and St Clare's Collection 1: Books 1-3 - I never really got into St Clare's as a child, and have to say, not as enjoyable as Mallory Towers. Then read Death du Jour which I wasn't looking forward to, as I didn't like the first due to the differences between the book and TV show, but managed to read the second as I pretended they weren't connected, so can read the others, but won't buy any more. Classics this month, I picked an Agatha Christie collection for my bathroom book, not realising it was nearly 1k pages!! Started Rebecca yesterday.

Great story, great characters, humour and even love, it’s all packed into this unforgettable book.

A very dark mystery. Here’s a link to my review:

The Hanging in the Hotel by Simon Brett

Fethering Mysteries #5, OK to read as a stand-alone. Carole and Jude don't believe a death in Jude's friend's hotel is suicide. Cute low-key mystery series. 2 to 3 stars.

[Barbara]

The Missing and the Dead by Stuart MacBride

Scottish police detective Logan McRae investigates several serious crimes, and (as usual) gets in trouble for not following the rules.

Good book. 4 stars

The Snake Pit by Mary Jane Ward

This is the 75th anniversary edition of The Snake Pit, originally published in 1946. The book is a semi-autobiographical novel based on the author's committal to New York's Rockland State Hospital in 1941.

Very good book. 4 stars

[PattyMacDotComma]

South Australian author Garry Disher's recent book Consolation is my favourite kind of writing. Perfect for place, plot, and people. This is rural Australia where crooks think they can get away with murder.
4.5~5★ Link to my review of Consolation

[RJ - Slayer of Trolls]

I just finished the "other novel" by the author of Thieves Like Us

Lesson in Red by Maria Hummel

Interesting peek into the Los Angeles art scene. 3.5 stars

Just starting Night Rounds by Helene Tursten and The Breaker by Minette Walters

[CBRetriever]

Helen Tursten is pretty good - I've read most of the Inspector Huss series

I was disappointed with the 1st book, but it may have been the translation. I'm looking forward to trying this 2nd one

I just finished Gone for Good.

Decent police procedural. Here’s a link to my review:
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Lance]

Weekend Warriors has a promising revenge-fantasy concept and the bones of what could've been a good story. Sadly, fatally-flawed writing meant I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as I wanted to. There are only another thirty-odd installments in this series, so someone must be finding something s/he likes in it. Three stars for promise and one star for execution...not bad enough to want my own revenge for wasted time, but only just.

Read the full review here.

Slow Horses and listening to Wizard and Glass

Beast in View by Margaret Millar. If you like dark, old school psychological thriller, you will enjoy this. Rating - 4/5.

I so enjoy her work. Absolutely.

@Nancy I enjoyed your review. What other book of hers will you recommend?

[Nancy, Co-Moderator]

Aditya wrote: "@Nancy I enjy your review. What other book of hers will you recommend?"

I really enjoyed her The Listening Walls and her Beyond This Point Are Monsters but her books written in the 50s to me are probably as good as they get. A couple of days ago I pulled her Vanish in an Instant off its shelf for night-time reading. It's been forever since I've read this one and have completely forgotten it.

Thanks, I will try to find them.

Since I discovered Millar's books, she's become one of my favorite mystery writers. Such great characters and story-telling. Beast in View was a 5-star book for me. The Soft Talkers and Wall Of Eyes were as well but I've enjoyed so many of her stories.

I love her writing. I still have a few of hers to read.
