[Leslie]

Erin, you won't go wrong with any of those books.

[Anne]

just bought The Confession I,m so glad you both liked it, I just love reading other peoples reviews.

[Keri]

Finished The First Law and that was an incrediablely intense read. I had no idea how Hardy and Crew was going to get out of this. Higher body cound than I am used to from Lescroart. The book had some surpising twists that I didn't really see coming.

i am a sucker for forensic books too

[Keri]

Teresa have you read Jeff Deaver's Lincoln Rhyme series? These are very CSI type drama, but very well done.

I quite enjoyed that. It struck me as a boys adventure though, so it will be interesting to hear what you thought.

[Tom]

Boy adventure sounds perfect for me. I may have to try it.

And the movie was just as good!

[Corinne]

Hello :)

I'm new here. I'm from Normandy in France, I'm living in a small village near Gisors and Château Gaillard where was the border between France and Normandy in the middle age, an era that I love very much


I just finished . Easy to read and pleasant one :) Some inconstency in the characters are nevertheless a bit desappointing furthermore that I figured out the plot well before the end (though I missed some points that were explained at the end). Nevertheless, I think I'll give a try to other books from that serie.

Wasn't this book mad..."

Yes, it's a new movie and Tom Hanks plays the dad. Read the book first; as good as the movie will certainly be, you shouldn't miss the wonderful writing.

It is not at our local theater yet, but I have watched the trailer. Can;'t wait to see it, glad to hear it was good.

Hi Corinne and welcome!

If you like Murder on the Orient Express, this book by The 8:55 to Baghdad is fascinating. It follows a journey Agatha took in 1928 partly on the Orient Express to Baghdad using present day trains. It describes the modern day Baltic and Middle East and I found it fascinating. Currently rereading it.

Sounds interesting! Now on my TBR, too.

[Jeanette]

I am listening to by Dorothy Gilman.

[Sharon]

I've always liked the Dorothy Gilman books, the Mrs. Pollifax books are great, though will admit I think the earlier ones were the most interesting. Two of her stand alones I particularly enjoyed were A Nun in the Closet and The Tightrope Walker.

[Monica]

About half way through The Night Eternal, the last book in the trilogy by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan. It's good, much better than the second book.

[Sharon]

About halfway through Sagebrush Kill New author for me and apparently the author's first book. So far I'm finding this one difficult to put down.

[Elizabeth]

Do not know quite where this book fits in catagories but is an excellent read

[Renee]

I loved The 8:55 to Baghdad. It gently revealed some of Christie's difficult years and how she took life on. There's a book that she wrote later, Come, Tell Me How You Live: an Archaeological Memoir, about her life after that trip to Baghdad that is also worth a look.

[Donna, Co-Moderator]

Reading Her Royal Spyness by Rhys Bowen. Light and witty and enjoyable.

[James]

I just finished The Judas Strain by James Rollins. It was interesting and entertaining. I'm reading No Rest For The Dead (a serial thriller) By 27 Authers.

[Sharon]

Just finished up Sagebrush Killand I was right, I couldn't put it down. First book by a new author and I gave it 5 stars, which I don't do often. Personal thing, but I reserve the 5 stars for something I like well enough to own/keep and re-read. This one is going to get re-read and I'm already looking for the next one in what is apparently meant to be a series.

[Elizabeth]

Have 10 Rebus (Ian Rankin) on my Kindle Fire. Have read Knots and Crosses,Hide and Seek, Hanging Gardens, and Black and Blue. I know out of order.

[TK421]

I just finished reading Hell Swamp by Susan Whitfield. It's the third novel in the Logan Hunter mysteries, a series of novels set in North Carolina. It was a great read. If you get a chance, please check out my review of the book as well as my interview with the author.

yep one of my favorite series : )

i stumbled across Kathryn Foxthis past year and loved them. they are set in austraila and the main character is very well devloped, but for some reason the latest book isnt available in the US

[Jannene]

I just finished . The ending was way too predictable. I saw it coming half way through the book. I still liked the story and characters. I do have to say I'm not fond of Kay's relationship with Wesley in this book.

[Keri]

I have read the first Kathryn Fox and have the 2nd on my TBR moutain.

[Lobstergirl]

I'm in the middle of Sacred Hunger, which won the 1992 Booker Prize. It's really good - about the slave trade between Liverpool, Africa, and the West Indies in the 1750s. I would highly recommend this.

[Colleen]

I like the TBR mountain. If mine were made of physical books it would be a mountain indeed.
I had not heard of Kathryn Fox, but now I want to read her books.

[Heidi]

I recently finished Death Comes to Pemberly by PD James who I adore... While I appreciate her attempt at an homage to Jane Austen...I actually wished she had infused her book with a little more PD James and a lot less Austen. Just started Excavation by James Rollins-- turning out to be a great page turner...

Heidi, I rarely give books only one star, but I thought that Death Comes to Pemberley was quite dreadful. Such a disappointment!

this is a series that got better with each book and I recommend all the time

you wont be disappointed. I finally went through my tbr shelf on goodreads and got it down from 364 to 100. it is climbing again. I tend to hit to read a lot on these posts and when i go back, sometimes i am like what did i save this for?????

[Keri]

Teresa, are you a Stephen Booth or Cody McFadyen fan?

[Beth]

About 1/3 through Darkside by Belinda Bauer. I loved her last one, this is okay although a little slow so far. Love the way she mentions previous characters even though they aren't part of the main story, always makes me feel included when authors do that!

Kim-- Dont laugh, but out of respect for one of my favorite mystery writers, i had to give it two stars ('cuz GR doesnt yet offer those much requested halfstars)...

[Diane S ☔]

Finished The Informationist which I ended up giving 3 stars, I did like it, thought it was different. Before I go on to her second book I am reading 1222.

[Steffi]

just finished The Chase by clive cussler, really enjoyed it

[Teresa]

never heard of stephen booth, and love love cody mcfadyen, but dont see a new book in the series coming out

[Teresa]

Waking Hours4 stars, good police case, with forensic dr, didnt enjoy budding romance between main characters ( one of my pet peeves )

[Keri]

Steven Booth's are English procedurals with Ben Cooper and Dianne Fry as the characters. Love Ben, but Diana can be a PITA and I think Booth writes her that way to counteract Ben's sweetness. Black Dog is the first one in the series. I have only read the first CM, but am working on getting the 2nd one. Very intense writing with him.

[Susan]

I just started The Darkening Field by William Ryan. I am enjoying it so far.

[Laurin]

Just finished The Secret Holocaust Diaries: The Untold Story of Nonna Bannister.

[Tay]

I just finished . It's good but I'm surprised they are making a movie out of this one. I felt there are more deserving Jack Reacher novel than this. I'm now reading

[Jennifer]

Just finished Echo Burning . Lee Child always delivers.

Now, off to finish Home for a Spell .

[Keri]

I liked One Shot, despite some of the editing mistakes.

[Lynn]

I think it was selected for cinematic value maybe....what I can believe is Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher! No way!

[Ethan]

I just finished reading Le Freak: An Upside Down Story Of Family, Disco, And Destiny. It was a nice change of pace to my normal reading habits, but I've already settled into another mystery, A Bitter Truth: A Bess Crawford Mystery.

The whole Tom Cruise thing just proves why Robert Crais has a good idea in not selling the film rights to the books. Sometimes it is just better to not spoil it for the current fans, and risk making a bad casting choice or worse yet end up with a terrible movie.

I'm going to finish Freezing tonight, and debating between my current library books which to start next. Choices are Air Time, Do Unto Others, and Some Girls Bite. I am kind of leaning toward trying the vampire book first, that way if it's not my thing I can ditch it and move on to one of the other two.
