Its available on Amazon Prime (I believe with a Britbox subscription) in the US. I've seen a few episodes, and have liked it enough to be curious about reading one of the books. With so many British police procedurals its tough to distinguish one from another, but I liked that it focuses mainly on his police work and doesn't delve too deep into his personal life.

Now starting BABYLON BERLIN by Volker Kutscher, the first book in his Gereon Rath mystery series set in Germany starting in 1929 and moving forward to the rise of the Nazi regime.

Originally published in Germany back in 2007, the first five books in the series have been translated and published in English and they serve as the basis for the Netflix series that is now in its third season.

[Shannon]

From the libby App I read these

Very good book The end was a shocker

Another good book Wil read more from her

Now From My Local Libary
Very good book I couldnt put it down

This one was a let down I didn't like. I though it sound good but as I reading it I Just couldnt really get into it I almost put it down a bunch of times

Another one that let me down too.


Now I am starting on these

[PattyMacDotComma]

I love mysteries based in Ireland. Strange Flowers is a curious, intriguing story by the talented Donal Ryan.

I'm reading The Slaughterman's Daughter, which I am enjoying immensely; about to start Death Casts a Long Shadow by Anthony Gilbert, apa The Long Shadow.

[Linda]

I won't be able to read much in the coming week. My grandmother passed away this morning.

[CBRetriever]

Finished Mark Pryor's Dominic and Hollow Man. Wasn't really impressed as they seemed like Dexter copies. I liked his Hugo Marston series, but I'm not planning on reading any more in the Hollow Man series.

[Araych]

So Much Blood by Simon Brett

Charles Paris #2, OK to read as a stand-alone. Paris is performing at the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland, and gets involved in a possible murder. This book was a bit of a disappointment. I never believed in most of the characters and the deus-ex-machina ending was just absurd. 2 stars, I won't be continuing with this series, although I do like some of Brett's other work

I like most of Brett's series. Each is different in its own right. I didn't mind this one.

Perhaps too soon, but are you leaning towards Camp Marple or Camp Poirot?

I won't be reading your review yet, because I had preordered this some time ago, but I'm happy you think it's a good one. I like Archipelago books.

One Dog Night by David Rosenfelt

Andy Carpenter #9, OK to read as a stand-alone. Andy defends an ex-drug addict accused of a 6-year-old mass murder. I thought this was one of Rosenfelt's best, with an interesting plot/puzzle and action that buzzed right alone. 4 stars.

I need to read more Poirot... I do like Marple. I also like Tommy and Tuppence.. :0)

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

I did buy some Tommy and Tuppence last year, but I've never been keen.

There was a TV series a couple of years back based on the books. It was entertaining. It starred David Walliams and Jessica Raine as Tommy and Tuppence.
