I'll be interested in your opinion on this one, Bill. I loved Q & A, the original book title for what became Slumdog Millionaire: The Shooting Script, but I haven't gotten around to reading Six Suspects yet.

Having said that....I just finished Innocent Blood by P.D. James. Very well written, although very, very bleak.

I'm looking forward to that one as well.


which is the first in a series. This is middle ages crime and thriller and a bit of gore rolled up together!!"
Have never heard of this one Penny.

Clete is one of my all-time favorite characters in literature. Glad to find another fan.

I also dislike thumbnails. I look at a lot of this on my phone and I can't tell what the book is.




currently reading Dark Places"
Love to hear what you think about Dark Places. I am planning on reading it soon."
i have mixed feelings about this book- gave it 3 stars-would have given it 3 1/2 stars if i could
it's a compelling story with unforgettable characters-the reason for the lower rating is that parts of this book were so disturbing that i had a hard time reading some of the chapters.
i'd love to hear your thoughts on this book after you've read it


The Guthrie book sounds good. You're a good friend for giving chapter by chapter feedback!


Finished this last night. It's a pretty good whodunit. It's different from their other books in that it didn't have the horror feel to it. I like it.

I never read Q&A Barb, but did enjoy the movie very much. I have no expectations starting Six Suspects, so I'm kind of looking forward to seeing how I like Swarup's writing style. Will let you know what I think. :0)

I was disappointed with the ending. I won't spoil it, but I was really loving the book until the reveal of the supposed antagonist, and what he was ultimately striving to accomplish.

I'll look for your opinion when you finish, thanks :)

I'm 18 on my library list, I should be reading it in a year. Lol

The thumbnails and links don't work on my mobile Goodreads app, I have to go to the regular site to read them.


Started reading The Sleeping Doll by Jeffery Deaver

Next up, on audio, is Eye Of The Storm, the first in the Sean Dillon series by Jack Higgins.

would love to hear what you think of The Sleeping Doll- i've never read deaver before but that book is on my to read list

I have it but haven't read it yet. Can't wait though!
Wrapped up a few books recently. I listened to The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag read by Jayne Entwistle and thoroughly enjoyed both the story and the reading. I'm currently listening to Ruth Rendell's short story collection The Copper Peacock and Other Stories read by one of my favorite British actresses, Penelope Keith.
I've also read Snow Blind and the historical fiction, Doc. Both good reads if very different types of books.
Now on to Sidney Chambers and the Shadow of Death and Jade Lady Burning for my in person book group.

Thanks. I could definitely see her writing being too dark and really bothering a person. I am going to be reading it in October with a few people here and possibly a co-worker. I will keep you posted on my thoughts.


I like this series too, I'm up to the fourth book next.

Lostergirl: I'm with you all the way. Don't know why or who started that and why they thought it was clever but it's a pain for all the reasons you stated.
Well said and I agree.







Last night I started Hailey's War and couldn't remember why I had requested it from library. By 2 AM I still couldn't remember, but now I'm hooked.
