Julie Perham | 12 comments Bill, I really enjoyed GOT. I think it's my favorite of the series so far. I am now halfway through Shadow of Night (All Souls Trilogy, #2) by Deborah Harkness . I'm liking it a bit better, but I really want the action to pick up a little.....

Sandy | 16 comments Just finished Mortal Chaos A fascinating and suspenseful read. Loved it!

Typhoon and so far it's ticking all the boxes.
Also started
Shout at the Devil Interesting start, but put it aside for Typhoon


 Danielle The Book Huntress  (gatadelafuente) Earlier this week I read The Cleaner. It was good. I'll keep reading the series. Now I'm working on an ARC for Delusion in Death.

I haven't read Tania Carver before, and just checked out the one you're reading plus the two before it...they sound great! Thanks Vivien:)

Julie, I'm enjoying so far, but barely into it.

Terry Ambrose I just finished reading an ARC of the new Hank Phillippi Ryan book, The Other Woman, which isn't in the catalog yet. However, when it comes up, it's really good. Lots of suspense and it has twists throughout.


message 7460: by Jessica (new)

Jessica | 10 comments I finished Now You See Me. Wow, I loved it! Thought I figured it out about 5 different times and was still surprised at the end.


message 7461: by Terry (new)

Terry Ambrose It's always a good sign when you think you've got it and don't. It's when you figure out the whodunit once and are right that it's no fun! :-)

Gundwane | 5 comments Finished The Big Nowhere. It was really incredible and now I'm sure that Ellroy is truly magnificent author.

Tonya (tonyanc) | 14 comments Just finished Treasure Hunt and am now reading Trial By Fury.


message 7464: by Vivien (new)

Vivien | 25 comments Nearly finished 'Cage of Bones' by Tania Carver. I have really enjoyed reading this book and have just bought the previous two with a fourth coming out in September. Reminds me of Peter Robinson? Maybe because the first Inpector Banks books I read was a similar storyline.


message 7465: by Vivien (new)

Vivien | 25 comments Hi Brenda. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Can't wait to start the other two!

Tim Warner | 72 comments Finished The Border Lords (Charlie Hood # 4) by T. Jefferson Parker as I continue to exhaust the library's stock of Parker, and started Buried Prey (Lucas Davenport, #21) by John Sandford as I continue to debate whether I like Sandford's series or not....

message 7473: by Linda (new)

Linda Boyd (boydlinda95gmailcom) | 335 comments I just started Before I Go To Sleep by S.J. Watson . I am enjoying it so far. When I first started reading it, it reminded me of 50 First Dates, but it is much darker then that.

Ann, have you finished

The Last Kashmiri Rose? I was surprised by how much I liked that book and I'm hoping to get to the 2nd book in the series soon.

Gatorman | 7679 comments Just finished The Last Kind Words by Tom Piccirilli . Phenomenal read, gave it 5 stars. Just starting Hanging Hill by Mo Hayder which was given to me by a GR friend in England. Thanks again, Anne!


message 7479: by Georgia (new)

Georgia | 554 comments Halfway thru Faithful Place (Dublin Murder Squad, #3) by Tana French . It has an interesting story, but a bit too long. Love the Irish lilt.


message 7480: by Les (new)

Les Roberts (LesRoberts) Reading "And When She was Good" by Laura Lippman. One of the finest writers, in ANY genre. And this one is truly riveting.


message 7481: by Barbara (new)

Barbara (cinnabarb) | 9999 comments I finished Vengeance by Stuart M. Kaminsky, the first book in the Lewis Fonesca series. Good book, and Fonesca - a sad but droll process server mourning the death of his wife - makes a good amateur detective.


message 7482: by JB (new)

JB Rowley (jbrowley) I have just finished Blood Safari by Deon Meyer. I listened to the audio version with superb narration by Saul Reichlin. It was a good read although I felt the author spent unnecessary time on educating the reader about South Africa. (I'd rate the narrator one star higher than the book.)


message 7483: by Deb (new)

Deb I love Louise Penny and have finished all of her books and was waiting for the end of August for her newest, when I came across the author Ann Cleeves. She has quite a few book and several different series. My library only carried her series "Shetland Quartet" of which Raven Black is the first. I was thoroughly captivated by not only her writing style, but her ability to tell a story. I have now read all 4 of the books and they just kept getting better and better. I highly recommend them, but they must be read in order. I am going to be starting another of her series staring Vera Stanhope.

Dorie (dorieann) | 464 comments Just finished my last book when I was notified that I could download the ebook for Gone Girl from my library, so that's what I'll be reading for the weekend!


message 7487: by Vivien (new)

Vivien | 25 comments I have finished Cage of Bones by Tania Carver. Excellent book by an author I have not previously read. Now have her previous two books and looking forward to reading them. Currently reading Sweet Heart by my favourite author, Peter James.

Julie  (gpangel) | 148 comments I just started Deadly Gamble (Mojo, #1) by Linda Lael Miller ( romantic suspense)


message 7489: by Les (new)

Les Roberts (LesRoberts) FINISHED "And When She Was Good," by Laura Lippman. STUNNING! Also read "Stranger in the Room" by Amanda Kyle Williams, featuring distaff private eye Keye Street. Excellent. Keye Street, a Chinese American Atlanta private eye and a recovering alcoholic, can take her place next to Kinsey Millhone and Sharon McCone as a great, classically rendered PI.

message 7494: by Beth (new)
