I am just starting a fellow "good reader's" book that I
was lucky enough to have won. It is . It seems to be a rather short book that could have been longer. What has "pulled me in" is that it takes place in the part of Spain where the Catalan language is spoken, after the
civil war and when Franco was in power. It is a true to
life story concerning the effects of what has happened upon the people of Catalonia. I do not know much about
the history of this period so I find this little book extremely interesting because these things could
happen in any country, any time.

I forgot to mention the author's name. Uke Jackson in case you didn't open the link.

[Mikela]

I've only just started Who Killed Palomino Molero? a detective novel set in Peru in the 1950s. Quite interesting so far.

[Sharon]

Just finished and it was one of those where you get to the end of the book and really wish it had not ended. Really glad to know the author is writing the next now.

I finished A Wanted Man by Lee Child. It didn't have enough Jack Reacher beating up baddies but still a good read nonetheless. The motel clerk scene had me rolling.

I'm now reading Vince Flynn's American Assassin

Hi Gatorman, Have you seen the TV series Luther on the BBC?"

No, Donna, I haven't. I hear only good things about it, though.

[Gatorman]

Just finished Mandibles. Good, not great, gave it 3 stars. Currently reading The Wrong Man.

[Jeanie]

Reading The Wise Man's Fear then onto Dust and Shadow: An Account of the Ripper Killings by Dr. John H. Watson. I'm presently attempting to lead the discussion of The Camel Club , our other group read for Sept./Oct. Please do come and take part if you've read the book, or, if you haven't read it then try and do so, okay? (stirring the cauldron...or, errr, pot)

Let us know what you think. Val McDermid is one of my favourite authors."

On page 100 and totally hooked. This is a stand alone and so different from her others. Not quite as dark unless that comes soon. Interesting though.

Just finished Dust and Shadow: An Account of the Ripper Killings by Dr. John H. Watson . Wow. I thought this one was excellent!

This is my new book

Last night I finished Design on a Crime - Ginny Aiken and now I thinking of reading Hostile Witness - Rebecca Forster.

[Mark]

I'm reading She's Never Coming Back - it's a very dark and disturbing book. A mother is kidnapped on her way home from work and kept imprisoned in a basement by a husband and wife who do horrific things to her. Meanwhile, her husband is left to fret about what's happened to her... It's a complex, quite literary novel, very different to most crime fiction. It reminds me more of the film Funny Games. Recommended if you want something original but be warned - it's nasty.

[Nancy]

Hi Mystery and Thriller lovers, I'm so glad to find a group who slso loves this genre. I like to read almost anything but Mysterys are my definite favorites. I think I like Patricia Cornwell the best. Her books are so well researched, they don't feel like fiction. I find them fascinating.If anyone has a favorite, awesome author I would love to hear. Thanks and hope to hear from someone soon Nancy

[Nancy]

I am so glad to find a group who enjoy my favorite genre too. My name is Nancy and I'm from good old UT. I think Patricia Cornwell is my favorite author. Her research and writing are so well done it's hard to believe it's a novel!! If anyone has any suggestions on who else to read I would love to hear from you. Thanks Nancy

sounds like a good book but too disturbing to me - am I the only one that finds books like that more challenging in book form than in a movie. I guess because it is playing out in my head.

That one sounds really good - sometimes I like dark and nasty!! I will look for this one on audio at my local library.

Don't keep us in suspense, man. What did she get? What kind of a look was she going for? Living room? Bedroom?

[Ken]

I'm just finishing David Simon's Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets. This is the book the HBO series, The Wire, was based upon. Nothing at all like the series, not even close.

It has all the elements of a mystery with all the whodunit, coroner's reports, interrogations, stakeouts and court drama but its all the real deal. This is not to say there isn't some story embellishment in it. Reads a bit like a Wambaugh book. I guess you get that when a newspaper reporter writes a book and his author gene kicks in.

welcome to the group nancy- check out the favorite authors thread for a variety of recommendations in the genre- i would personally recommend harlan coben if you haven't tried him yet- he's one of my favorites. Gone for Good and Tell No One are both great

I believe it was actually the basis for the series "Homicide: Life on the Streets". It was also a David Simon series. Also filmed in Baltimore. Not sure if Laura Lippman (Simon"s wife) did any writing for it, as she did for The Wire.

Sorry it took so long to answer. My internet service was out for a while. I have also watched the shows. I loved the one on A&E with Timothy Hutton. But, the books are great. Keep in mind the period they are published in, though. Times were very different then.

Evil has come with the rain, come for their souls. There is only one way to survive and only Daniel and Milena know what it is.

Just finished Silent Mercy by Linda Fairstein. She is one of my favorite authors.

[Diane S ☔]

Finished The Vanishing Pointand while it was good it was not as dark as her other novels, was more mainstream than her usual. I liked it okay but like her darker novels better. Now reading Beneath the Abbey Wall : A Novel.

This morning whilst I laid in bath I finished Hostile Witness - Rebecca Forster, which was not as good as I had expected at the beginning, but near the end it started getting better. Now I am about to embark on Poison Study - Maria V. Snyder which has been recommended to me.

[Jeanie]

I'm presently plowing through Daniel Silva's "Gabriel Allon" books (Israeli Mitch Rapp, basically). They're fabulous! Also, I'm making headway with Wm.Kent Krueger's "Cork O'Connor" series. They're wonderful, too! I'm on A Death In Vienna & Blood Hollow. Busy, busy, busy. (smile)
