I, too, love the PCU.

Currently reading Hart's War and enjoying it

[Jan C]

Oh, wow! I only took a brief look - but I added it to Favorites.

Continuing my Agatha Christie re-read, I started listening to A Murder Is Announced.

The narrator is so far great with the voices but has problems with her pacing. Sometimes she goes a long sentence without breathing and is winded at the end.

[Jennifer]

Finished Murder With Peacocks and really liked it. Very funny, in both the prose and the situational humor. On the mystery front, now reading Truly, Madly. Started it night before last and am nearly finished: can't seem to put it down!! Also started The Winter Garden Mystery , which is the second book in my challenge series read for this year.

[Tim]

Just finished . Excellent stand -alone. I loved it. Good hearted bad-guy/good guy. Now I start a new author to me,

[Dorie]

I'm finally starting by Michael Connelly. He's my go-to author when I need a book guaranteed to be engrossing.

Sounds interesting, Tim! I'll definitely get this one out of the library.

I review the books I read, if you care to read my reviews...

[D.G.]

Sounds really good. My library has it in audio so I added it to my wish list.

BTW...I have Rain Fall on my TBR too and I'm hoping to read it soon.

[Jannene]

I just finished The Maze. It was a 5 star book in my opinion. It had great characters, and intriguing villain, and crazy family members. It grips you within the first few chapters. You really fall in love with the main character, Lacey. She is so strong, likable, protective, and unwavering in her thoughts and ideas. Loved it!!

[Judith]

Iran is in the news these days and I find the issues compelling, so I enjoyed reading Libby Fischer Hellmann’s new novel, A Bitter Veil, set in the midst of the Iranian revolution that brought Khomeini to power. A good read and a great way to absorb the background info of the current problems. Two essential themes predominate in this viscerally effective novel: the fate of women when their choices have been taken from them and the banality of evil, to borrow a phrase applied to the Nazis—who also appear in this book if somewhat indirectly. Here’s my review.

[Jannene]

I was reading T is for Trespass but I just couldn't get into it. I think perhaps I am just burned out from reading her or maybe this book isn't as good as the others. I am not sucked in. I will try this again later this year.

I started The Black Echo. It is my second book by Michael Connelly. I read the The Lincoln Lawyer but didn't really care for it. I'm hoping that Harry Bosch pulls me in since everyone says this is a good series.

I think I've read all of Coulter's FBI series except the latest one....

[Barbara]

I finished To Have and to Kill by Mary Jane Clark, the first book in the "wedding cake" series. The amateur detective in this series is an aspiring actress/cake decorator; the book was interesting enough that I'd probably read the next book in the series.

I'd love to know what you think about this one. I read it last year and..."

Well actually its my first Jeffery Denver novel as well.

I find the novel very interesting, he did a great job at it. Through James Bond character seems less like the James Bond of Ian Fleming or the James Bond of the movies.
There are a lot of references to the original work.

Its a good book, I simply loved the way he showed today's espionage world.

[Kim]

I'm about half way through The Chemistry of Death.

[Sharon]

Just finished Vigilante. The vigilante theme has been done and redone many times but this was handled very well. Fast pace, interesting characters and a couple of nice twists. Will definitely be reading more of this series.

Terrific book.

I can't seem to get into my current book Myth Man so I picked up John Hart's The Last Child.

[Renee]

I've gone all medeival. I'm on the third of Cassandra Clark's series about the Abbess of Meaux, The Law of Angels. The first in the series is a stand-out all on its own, Hangman Blind.

An excellent choice. My favorite Hart book.

I'll keep that in mind as I read the next books. I found her accuracy of detail very reassuring.

Ditto to that, I loved that book!!

And?? Did you like them? I just realized this is a series that doesn't need to be read in order. This is good since I don't have all of them yet. ;)

I've read most of them as well and liked them. Not quite 'buy to keep' for re-reading often, but well enough to check out from the library and re-read occasionally. Very good characterization, which I enjoy.

Thanks, I'll take a look.

[Ed]

Just finished Ken Bruen's "Headstone". This Galway based ex Guardia PI is kind of like Galway's version of Dave Rochichaud on steroids and Guiness. This book was outstanding and memorable for the variety of interesting characters Jack Taylor interacts with, some with violent outcomes but all imbued with Bruen's uniques Irish wit and style. I highly recommend it.

[Heather]

Just finished Grave Morality by JC Finch, it was really interesting!

Yep, I liked them, and I agree with Sharon, not enough to want to keep them in the already-overflowing-stacks-of-kept-books, but even my brother requested that they stick around long enough for him to re-read.

I'm one of those that doesn't read in order, mostly because I read them when I come across them...

[Barbara]

I finished Burning Ghats by Paul Mann. Good book - I enjoyed it (and learned a bit about customs in India).

[Donna, Co-Moderator]

Finished Death of an Englishman today on the train from Montreal to Quebec. Hi to all our Canadian members! I am really enjoying my vacation here.

Enjoyed Death of an Englishman very much. Good interesting characters, the wonderful city of Florence as the setting, and lots of twists and turns in the plot. It's a police procedural but not gory or dark, more in the Hercule Poirot style of detection rather than cutting edge forensic science. I believe this book has been out of print, or at least hard to find, for awhile but it seems to be more widely available now. I recommend it for the arm chair travelers among us.

[Sofia]

Currently reading - my first Sue Grafton book .. it's okay, feel like its a little slow but interesting enough ...

[Jeremy]

Right now I am reading The Case of the Perjured Parrot, a Perry Mason novel by Erle Stanley Gardner. Like most of the Perry Mason novels, it starts out like a PI novel, but I am sure there will be court scene at the end.

[Sharon]

Almost finished with The Consultant and am liking it very well.

[Abhay]

Just finished Carte Blanche

You should start with the earlier ones of Sue Grafton. I just read all through "S" and found the earlier ones before "J" are really a lot better.

[Fiona (Titch)]

I have read and finished Inspector Zhang Gets His Wish! - Stephen Leather.

[Ken]

Its been a while but I picked up Basket Caseby Carl Hiassen. Now I remember how enjoyable his characters are.

[Ethan]

I just finished Wyatt's Revenge by H. Terrell Griffin. It is a really good, fast paced thriller. I have 2 copies of this novel to giveaway, so feel free to enter by following the link below. Now I am startingDark Of The Moon by John Sandford. I have never read any novels by Sandford, so I look forward to seeing what he has to offer.

Reading

[Dorie]

After a failed start on another book, I've started Bleed for Me by Michael Robotham.

[Diane S ☔]

Finished Unwanted: A Novel which is the first book by a new author and a new addition to the nordic mysteries. Gave it 4 stars.

[Linda]

Just finished Into Thin Air by Valerie Maarten, and loved it. In keeping with my new promise to read at least 1 book a week--I'm two weeks ahead right now. This week I've also read: Cruel Justice by M. A. Comley (love it); and A Cleansing of Souls by Stuart Ayris (a true work of art).

[Alex]

I agree. I love his characters and he is one of the few authors that make me laugh out loud. I think it may be time a picked up one of his book too! Thanks for reminding me!

I have the audiobook version of Basket Case. It's my favorite Hiassen. Pure genius.

[Kim]

I've finished The Chemistry of Death. It was okay, if a bit disappointing. I'll read the next one in the series, but if Beckett keeps up the annoying foreshadowing, that will be the end of the road for me.
