I read that last year and enjoyed it. But then again I have a thing for mysteries that take place on transports.

The Fifth Floor by Michael Harvey

Michael Kelly #2, OK to read as a stand-alone. Chicago, present day. P.I. Kelly gets a case which appears to be spousal abuse but which turns into several murders and serious political corruption, along with some serious rethinking of the origins of the great Chicago fire of 1871. Very well written mystery; liked the characters and loved the fast-moving plot. Maybe the characters could have been more deeply developed, but nevertheless this one gets 4 stars.

bit behind on crime reading these days, but the next book will be (as part of reading Black History Month) The Conjure-Man Dies: A Harlem Mystery: A Detective Story Club Classic Crime Novel by Rudolph Fisher.

Otherwise, I've finished Cane, by Jean Toomer, started reading The Collected Connoisseur by Mark Valentine and John Howard as part of a very-rare-these-days, other-group read, and I'm more than halfway through Susanna Clarke's Piranesi which I am loving, at least so far.

[Liz]

I just finished listening to The Searcher
A lovely, character rich story.

I grew up near Duluth, MN, so it's always fun to read Brian Freeman's Stride thrillers. Finished Funeral for a Friend .

Stranger In Paradise by Robert B. Parker

In this 7th book in the Jesse Stone series, the police chief teams up with a Native American criminal to help a teenage girl.
Can be read as a standalone.

So-so story but fans of the series would probably like it okay. 2.5 stars

An Eye for an Eye, first book in a new ctime series by Carol Wyer.
The fact the PTSD riddled, pill popping main character is an unreliable narrator adds a nice twist to a good mystery. 5*

Wolf Winter by Cecilia Ekback.

It’s a very harsh winter in 1717 Swedish Lapland; a Wolf Winter. As the people try to survive through the months-long darkness with little food (a three year famine) and struggles between Christian beliefs and the beliefs of the Lapps, Maija attempts to solve the suspicious death of a man married to a suspected sorceress.

I just finished What Rose Forgot by Nevada Barr which is a stand alone book (not part of the Anna Pigeon series). It was funny, scary, etc and I loved it

[Araych]

The Deer Leap by Martha Grimes

Richard Jury #7, OK to read as a stand-alone. Jury and Plant end up in a small English village in which some dogs and cats have possibly been killed and find the same thing going on with some of the villagers. Loved the characters but the plot seemed a bit weak. 3 stars.

[Nancy, Co-Moderator]

I finished Piranesi. Haven't posted about it yet, nor have I given it a rating, but it was absolutely gorgeous and completely appealed to me. Now I don't know if I can read for the rest of the day.

I read those like eons ago. The plots are fun but you're right -- the characters are so much fun and you can't help liking them.

Great book. I'm So happy Valancourt decided to do this one to make it more widely available.

Moonflower Murders by Anthony Horowitz

In this second book in the 'Susan Ryeland' series, the literary editor/hotel owner investigates an old murder and a current disappearance. The book works fine as a standalone.

Fun double mystery. 4 stars

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

Just finished NOS4A2 - I think a book that wants you to keep reading over things like eating, so you can plough through a 995 page book in 2.5 weeks deserves 5*. If you didn't know he was Stephen King's son, you may have wondered by all the links to Stephen King's work, which I really enjoyed.

[Marwan]

Started reading Some Must Watch by Ethel Lina White

[Patty]

Marian, she is a favorite author of mine; also a very good book. The movie The Spiral Staircase is based on it.

Slash and Burn by Colin Cotterill

Dr. Siri #8, in which Dr. Siri and his whole circle of friends and frenemies get drafted to accompany an expedition to find the remains of an American pilot. Of course, the trip ends up hip deep in espionage and murder. I like this series a lot but this is not the best entry. Some rather unbelievable plot devices and other items left unexplained at the finish. 3 stars.

Just started - I did really enjoy the TV series, at 16% in, I can see some character differences, which I'm wondering why they felt like changing. So far am enjoying Ann Cleves
