Hi Judith, Have you read any of the John Russel series by David Downing? The first one, Zoo Station was set in 1939 Berlin with Russell caught up in intelligence gathering for all sides under the cover of news reporting.

I loved her Series in that book.

I'm currently working on these three books:

[DJ =^^=]

just finished on Kindle.
Finished on audio book.
Now reading on Kindle.

Just finished "Defending Jacob". Dynamic characters drawn in interesting ways but the plot dragged in the middle. Fortunately, the unforgettable twist ending was a shock to the system and ended up salvaging the story.

[Tim]

I just finished . Incredibly compelling. I liked everything about this book because it is so well-written. This is superb. I don't know what I will start next. I definitely want to continue with Cody Mcfadyen. Waiting for my library to get #2 of Smokey in.

[Jeanie]

Just finished Bury Your Dead. Now I understand why this book won so many awards last year. I don't think it would've made such an impact if I hadn't already read all of the others first, but still...whew...wow.

Really like that character. Probably will go on a Barry Eisler kick here soon.

Just finished For Love of Livvy and The Taste of Copper and for both, the best I could do was "okay". I really wanted to rate "Copper" higher as I absolutely love the main character but unfortunately for me, the issues are beginning to outweigh that.

Just finished Harlan Coben's new book "Stay Close". I've liked all his books and this was no exception; unique, interesting and extemely likeable New Jersey characters with insight and wit in a compelling mystery with an excellent twist ending. Coben writes bestsellers for a reason - they are incredibly entertaining to mystery readers and "Stay Close" might be one of his best.

I have started at first
I didn't think I would like it - crazy doctor escapes from prison. He loves to experiment on people and slashes away!!!!!!!!! I was going to "let it go", but read on to see why people like John Sanford. The story is getting better. The repartie between Lucas Davenport and Fell remind me of "Danny Regan and Jackie" his partner on "Blue Bloods" (one of my favorite TV shows)

The first books in the "Prey" series are all with Davenport as a single city detective and all serial killer plots. Very good, but toward the end I got a little burned out, sort of running out of 'different' serial killers. Fortunately Sandford decided to go at an angle, got him into a different job at a state level, married with a family and the series definitely picked up again. This is one of my personal favorite series and I re-read many of the books repeatedly. He's also started a newer series with one of the officers working for Davenport in the state job, Virgil Flowers, which is excellent as well.

[Annie]

Just finished Linda la Plante Silent Scream really enjoyed another detective Anna Travis mystery. Good characters and style.

I just finished "Never Look Away" (Barclay). WOW!! Was it ever good! The last 50 pages were electric.

[Diane S ☔]

Finished When Maidens Mourn and it was another great read in this series. Now reading The Gods of Gotham.

Just finished Bleed for Me. I couldn't put it down which really annoyed my Mother who I was visiting, she didn't appreciate me spending so much time with my nose in a book!

[Sharon]

Just finished Fatal Judgment. Should have read the reviews a bit more carefully, as I was hoping for more police procedural and this book would appeal much more to Christian romance readers I believe. Well written, but not my kind of book, unfortunately.

'Nother one down-- 29 to go in this batch! Finished Jolie Blon's Bounce last night. James Lee Burke is one of my 4 or 5 favorite mystery authors and he does two things extraordinarily well-- first, he mixes description in with narrative so well that you don't realize a picture is being painted. You wind up with a story set in a place that arose fully formed in your mind as the story unfolded. The second thing is dialogue. His dialogue reveals his characters even as it communicates and pushes the story forward.

And I'm sorry, I just love Clete Purcel. I realize he is intensely flawed and there is almost nothing about him that withstands scrutiny-- but, dude.

Clete is loveable, lonely, lost and loyal. One can't help but keep cheering for him.

[William]

Just finished the Wool Omnibus by Hugh Howey. Wonderful stuff.

[Alex]

Just started The First Rule by Robert Crais and I can't put it down. I just love Joe Pike!

Glad to hear that. I'm about halfway through.

I'm in the middle of , my first read of Jacqueline Winspear. I like it so far, but hope to learn a little more of Maisie's background. Does she have any friends of family other than her patron?

[Eric]

I just finished Double Identity, its a preety good book that is highly recommended to readers.

[Renee]

Oh, yes she does! There's her nursing friend from the war, her father, the family she began working for as a girl, and Simon, the doctor-slash-love of her life.... And let's not forget Billy.

[Sheetal]

I just finished in the 'Jack Reacher' series. Enjoyed it immensely simply becuase I like Jack as a character.
Can't wait to start on the next one...

[Fiona (Titch)]

Just finished Falling Immortality: Casey Holden, Private Investigator - Robert Downs. Now I am going to read Beginnings, Prequel to The Guardians of Vesturon - A.M. Hargrove.

[Jannene]

I just finished The Mephisto Club. The story was really creepy and dark. Talks of demons and Satan that could keep one up were unnerving. The story line was intriguing. It just held my attention. I love how the author had each chapter alternate between characters and how it was woven into the plot. A great read, 5 stars.

[Ezra]

I just finished writing (and rewriting and rewriting) my first thriller and I'm looking for advice as to how to promote it.

Any suggestions?

Pike is a great hero. Have you read the Elvis books?

True and more and more of her relationships are revealed in each subsequent book. Great series, very likable characters.

I always recommend that an author send me a copy so that I can critique it and then word of mouth (mine from mine) does incredible benefit or damage, depending...

You can start by downloading the first chapter at http://TheTheoryOfGames.com. Hope you like it. Jim Hougan/John Case gave it a great review.

Looks interesting, dog hooked me (dog/horse lover here, used to have Rottweilers, now have a GSD) and I downloaded the sample from Amazon.

[Ezra]

Hope you enjoy it. I would love to hear your critique. You should have my email address, too.

Looking forward to hear what you think. The Hougans (John Case) really pushed me to write this.

Two more down. 27 left in this batch. I love when I get near the end of a set of 8 or 10, and I'm so close to being done with most of them that they fall like dominoes. Accomplishment, and off to a new bunch, all at the same time.

The Reversal -- didn't see the end of this one coming!

The Winter Garden Mystery -- the second in this series. Took me a bit to get absorbed in it but it paid off in the end. The first one was the same way for me.

Yes, I'm finally to the point in the book where they reveal Maisie's history. I was beginning to worry, she seemed so isolated in the beginning of the book. I'm enjoying the backstory.

[Fiona (Titch)]

This morning I finished Beginnings, Prequel to The Guardians of Vesturon - A.M. Hargrove. Now I am starting Where the Bodies Are Buried - Christopher Brookmyre.

[Sharon]

Just started . Not far enough into it yet (just past the sample text) but what can I say, it's got a dog in it ...

[Sue]

I am going to start Hide and Seek by Ian Rankin. Looking forward to it.

[Jan]

I just finished Believing the Lie by Elizabeth George. It's another great addition to the Inspector Lynley series. I especially enjoyed the Havers content. I will continue to look forward to more from this author.

[Jim]

I just finished Generation Kill, by Evan Wright. Although the book is non-fiction, it satisfies the requirement for "Mystery, Crime and Thriller." It's all that and more. On the other hand, it may tell more about Marines than you care to know. I think Wright is every bit as good as Mark Bowden in getting right inside the events of a story.

[Jannene]

I started . It is really good. I just started it and can barely put it down.

[Sharon]

This is one of my favorites. The best of the whole series but all of them are good entertainment and I have several of them on my bookshelf to re-read.
