Didn't finish it, but I'm done with The by Tony Hays. I just don't care for his writing style.

[Maryfox]

Just finished by Tes Gerritson. This was my first reading of this author and I'll be reading much more of her I think. This is where she introduces Dr. Maura Isles to the series.

Kept me turning pages, but it was an easy read. I enjoyed it.

The series gets better too; he definitely has found himself with Matthew Shardlake. I hope you read and enjoy the rest.

I'm a huge Michael Connelly fan and have read all his books so far. I've found that unlike other authors his standards haven't slipped and each book is a pleasure to read. With one exception, I found Nine Dragons to be a bit of a dud although it does set things up for later books.

Finished Jo Nesbo's Devil Star last night and started Kathy Reichs' Flash and Bones this morning.

First Nesbo I've read and looking forward to Snowman....it was a bit confusing for me, with Scandinavian terms and names and locations, but not too bad.

Reichs will be a fast read.

I've begun so far it's slow going...I hope I'll be soon be taken... Got the recommandation here :)

I love Michael Connelly too. Have read all his books, in fact, starting his latest, "The Drop", today. Finished Stephen Hunter's "Soft Target" last night. Read it in 1 day, so you know it wasn't boring!

[Tay]

Finished . Wow, what a great read. It felt very real. It was heartbreaking, sad, disturbing, some great humor, so many emotions. An eye opener for sure.

I am now reading

How'd you know I loved Tom Selleck??? LOL. I'm reading 8 books for RWA's RITA contest now; when I'm done, I'll put TH at the top of the pile!

[Teresa]

The Bone Yardforensic series set in Tennesse at the body farm, though in this one he is traveling to Florida hoping to learn the idenitity of a skull found there

[Laurin]

At this moment, I'm attempting to read an assignment from Critical Thinking, Reading, and Writing. As far as English books go, it's one of the better ones that I've had.

I'm reading The Man from Beijing by Henning Mankell. As has been mentioned before this book doesn't contain the detective Wallender as a character; in fact the story is quite different from other Mankell books I've read.

[Sharon]

Reading Badwater and probably can not resist starting News from Dead Mule Swamp after that.

Liked it, too. But I'm pretty much a Mankell fan.

[Jane]

I have just finished Whispers of the Dead by Simon Beckett and it was an absolute cracker. I would say you have to read these in order and this, the third was the best one yet.

[Jannene]

I just finished . This was a very suspenseful book. I didn't see the ending coming. It was a very fast page turner. I really enjoyed this book. I gave it 5 stars.

[Ken]

Jane wrote: "..it was an absolute cracker."

Sounds like something that should be on the back cover.

[M.A.]

Just read and now reading

[Kenyia]

I just finished reading The Bride Collector by Ted Dekker.

[Keri]

Lakeisha that was a pretty good read for me. Different.

[Bill]

I finished Black Plumes by Margery Allingham and enjoyed very much; it was an excellent British mystery. I'm half way through Knights of the Black and White and am enjoying even though I still find myself wondering where the story will lead. I'm about to start a Scandanavian mystery by Karin Alvtegen; Shadow

[Sharon]

Just finished News from Dead Mule Swamp

This one I got strictly because of the title and I enjoyed it. Nicely crafted, easy read with a very accurate 'small town' feel to it. I liked the characters and the plot moved along well. Having lived in a small community myself most of my life the fact that the plot that had its roots in events two generations earlier worked well for me.

[Shawn]

I finished a bunch of books on the way to Hawaii and back. How To Think Like a Neandertal was fascinating and not too hard to read, The Return of Sherlock Holmes was a re-read and always a favorite, Moloka'i was an incredible book, and didn't strike me as despairing and hopeless as some of the reviews had said (although it is very sad), and Loose Ends was a good, easy read in the airport when our original flight home was cancelled due to weather.

I'm looking for some more non-fiction at the moment, but I have no idea what I want to read about. That really doesn't help. :)

[Donna, Co-Moderator]

Hi Shawn I'm not a big non-fiction reader but I recently read Talking About Detective Fiction by P. D James. It was a quick read and I especially enjoyed her insights into the "classics" of British detective fiction, Christie, Marsh, Allingham, etc.

[Lee]

Time to try one of the Hard Case Crime books...

Oh, that looks interesting! Thanks!

[Linda]

I just finished listening to - that book is really twisted... I loved it!!!!

[Fiona (Titch)]

I have finished the delightful Six Cats In My Kitchen - Lyn Horner and am now reading War Horse - Michael Morpurgo.

[Kim]

I'm about half way through Laurie R. King's Justice Hall. I like this series a lot.

[Theweebarrell]

Just finished Covert Reich by A K Alexander and really enjoyed it - i would recommend it

I've liked this series as well. Very nice sense of the era and settings.

The follow up, , is also good and twisted!

[Gatorman]

Just finished The Turtle Boy which was excellent, gave it 5 stars, and now on to the second book in that series, The Hides.

[Barbara]

I finished The Man from Beijing by Henning Mankell. This was a different kind of book from Mankell compared to his Wallender mysteries. It starts off pretty dramatically with almost all the people in a Swedish village slaughtered....but soon meanders off into some aspects of Chinese history and Chinese politics. Not really my kind of story.

[Susan]

I am re-reading G is for Gumshoe by Sue Grafton for my mystery bookclub. I am enjoying it.

[Keri]

Finished Booth's Blind to the Bones and it was as usual a great read. I just wish that we would have been given more insight to Diana and Angie's reunion. It was almost anti-climatic.

I enjoyed both books too. You should definitely read the other if you haven't.

[Sandra]

I'm reading , from the Rizzoli & Isles series by Tess Gerritsen. As I always say, love a good series, & this one is good. I read the first in the series, with a Goodreads Group & got hooked! I want to try the television series inspired by the books after I get through all the books.

[Laurin]

At the moment, I'm reading Effective Writing: Handbook for Accountants, I have homework.

I've been watching an Anne Frank video with my 14 year old daughter. It is, of course, heartbreaking. When my daughter studied this period in time at school, it really interested her, so I took her to the Halicaust Museum in Dallas. We met a survivor, listened to him speak, & purchased a book he'd written. He had a number tattooed on his forearm, & it was hard to look him in the eye. I had to keep reminding myself that I, personally, wasn't responsible for what he'd been through; I felt so incredibly sad listening to him speak & could think of nothing to say in response. At one point, my daughter ran into a nearby restroom & threw up. I cried (not typical of me, especially publically) during a film that told of a man leaving his baby son at a stranger's house because he had been too heavy to carry any further as they were fleeing on foot. The man wasn't able to return as quickly as he thought & when he finally did years later, he couldn't remember which house & never found his son again. Julia & I are both glad we went & would like to return someday even though we both left feeling incredible weight upon us.

Thanks Gatorman, I'm definitely going to listen to that one as well......

I just finished All I Did Was Shoot My Man by Walter Mosley. It's the fourth Leonid McGill novel, a series of hardboiled style mystery novels featuring an African American P.I. named (what else?) Leonid McGill. I really enjoyed this one and will be seeking out more works by Mosley in the future. If you're interested you can find my review of the book here.

I've thoroughly enjoyed Moseley's Easy Rawlins series. Glad to have this to look forward to!

I recently finished Justice Hall. It is one of my favorites in that series. I skipped around quite a bit. At some point I'll have to go back and read them in order.

[Tad]

I'm reading Bleed for Me by Michael Robotham. Very good so far! I'm anxious to see where it goes.

It's shaping up to be one of my favourites too, Veronica. I'm kind of glad that I've been reading the books in order, 'cos I only read O Jerusalem a few weeks ago and the characters from that novel are still fresh in my mind. I'm finding this particular book very moving and keep wanting to give several of the characters a big hug!

[Berna]

I have just finished the Body in the Library by Agatha Christie. It is a classic and one of the best of Christie novels.
