Just started Not Safe After Dark: And Other Stories by Peter Robinson. After much American supernatural mayhem recently, thought some cozy British human mayhem would be a palate cleanser.

Araych | 692 comments The Delightful Life of a Suicide Pilot The Delightful Life of a Suicide Pilot (Dr. Siri Paiboun, #15) by Colin Cotterill by Colin Cotterill

Dr. Siri #15, last in the series. Siri finds a diary apparently written by a Japanese soldier at the end of WW II but can read only half of it. He is determined to read the entire diary and will in so doing will reveal much more than he expected. I found this book a disappointment -- needlessly complex and confusing with no real payoff. Not nearly the enjoyable reading experience of the others in the series.

John Kelly | 4 comments I just finished A Sliver of Darkness, The Twenty and Hunting Time.

Sliver is out now. Hunting Time later this month and The Twenty in May of next year. All of them were awesome.

Barbara (cinnabarb) | 10066 comments Calypso, Corpses, and Cooking Calypso, Corpses, and Cooking (A Caribbean Kitchen Mystery, #2) by Raquel V. Reyes by Raquel V. Reyes

Amateur sleuth/cooking show host Miriam Quiñones-Smith, who lives in multiethnic Miami, looks into a series of crimes.

Engrossing culinary/cozy mystery. 3.5 stars

Kirsten  (kmcripn) The last book I finished was a historical romance The Bride Goes Rogue (The Fifth Avenue Rebels, #3) by Joanna Shupe The Bride Goes Rogue by Joanna Shupe and I've been reading The Christie Affair by Nina de Gramont The Christie Affair by Nina de Gramont.

Jannelies (living between hope and fear) | 531 comments I finished My Mother's Secret: A Novel of the Jewish Autonomous Region by Alina Adams
My Mother's Secret A Novel of the Jewish Autonomous Region by Alina Adams

It is actually officially not a thriller - but read it and you'll see that in real life, there is more going on than any author can make up.

Araych | 692 comments The Corpse on the Court The Corpse on the Court (Fethering, #14) by Simon Brett by Simon Brett

Fethering #15. In this one Jude and Carole each pursue their own mystery rather than, as usual, working together. I liked this one, it moved right along.

Thanks. I'm glad at least he had a good time with his cliches. I wasn't as crazy about them.

PattyMacDotComma | 943 comments Katherine Mansfield was one of New Zealand's most well-known authors, and I'm a fan. Her short stories are insightful and biting. Poor Miss Brill just wanted a little attention.
