The last story in Golden Age Detective Stories is one by Cornell Woolrich, which has prompted me to pull out Darkness at Dawn: Early Suspense Classics . I've barely started the first story, which has the snicker-inspiring title, "Death Sits in the Dentist's Chair." But I generally enjoy Woolrich and the collection includes a couple I've read before, "Dark Melody of Madness" (a.k.a. "Papa Benjamin") and "Kiss of the Cobra."

I've finished Find You First by Linwood Barclay


I requested it last year but was rejected, so I was happy to buy it for myself recently.

Here is my 4 star review of this solid thriller: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[James]

Now starting DARKTOWN by Thomas Mullen, the first book in his mystery/thriller series set in Atlanta a few years after the end of WWII.

The series features newly commissioned black police officers Lucius Boggs and Tommy Smith trying to do their jobs while working for a department and a city that is rife with the Jim Crow attitudes of the deep South.

I have a copy of that book -- I didn't realize it was a series. I'll have to move it closer to the top of the tbr.

Half way done with Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed

[PattyMacDotComma]

Author Chris Gill is originally a 'product' of the UK and NZ who now lives in Australia. (YAY!) His latest book, Boy Fallen, takes place on the rugged west coast of NZ's South Island. Accident or murder? It's a good story in a great setting - worth a look.

Now starting LIGHTNING MEN by Thomas Mullen, the second novel in his mystery/thriller series set in post-WWII Atlanta and featuring APD officers Lucius Boggs, Tommy Smith, and Dennis Rakestraw.

The first book in the series, DARKTOWN, was an excellent read. And I am now looking to track down the third book, MIDNIGHT ATLANTA, at my local bookstores or libraries.

Amazing book and will add to my favorites list Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl

Just finished The Sheltering Sky , and started The Kill Artist. I am still sorting out my reaction to the first, the second is fast-paced action with a high body count.

Thanks so very much for mentioning this book, Patty, I thought I had all of Berkeley's novels (including those published under his pen name Francis Iles), but it seems I don't have this one. Small wonder -- it was originally published under the name of A. Monmouth Platts and somehow I missed it.

I loved The Sheltering Sky. I wish someone would remake the film -- it was awful, although it did have a brief guest appearance by the author.

I'm still mulling over the book. Paul Bowles was obviously a good writer, however I found it difficult to warm to either Port or Kit. It was my first book by the author, which I added to my read list as one of the literary figures highlighted by Paul Theroux in The Pillars of Hercules: A Grand Tour of the Mediterranean.

Quite honestly, I didn't care for the characters in the book but both storyline & writing are incredible. I'm one of those weirdo people who doesn't have to care for characters to really enjoy a book. Have you seen the film?

Nope, in fact I stopped watching tv in 2020, but have decided that I need to tune in again. I have a list of movies and series I want to watch, so might add The Sheltering Sky.

Okay, I give in! This conversation convinced me that it’s a To-Read book and hopefully soon.
