Just read her Prison Planet and Mourning Mansion. Both stayed with me - one as disturbing and one as a tragic time in our world that could come to be. She crafted the characters well for such a short space of time too. These are characterized as horror but I wouldnt have thought of them in that regard - not 'classic horror' with strange beings and gore. More like a Farenheit 451 feel.

Would like to hear your thoughts on Gone Girl.





One of my favourites too, Suzy. I've read a couple of times at least.


Next on my list is Jo Nesbo's The Redbreast

Loved that book and have read it three times.

The Redbreast is the only Nesbo novel I've read so far but I quite enjoyed. Hope you find it as interesting.

I love the Harry Bosch character.

I love the Harry ..."
So do I. One of my fav series to read.
Just finished listening to Long Gone by Alafair Burke. Very good, both the story and the narration. Twists and turns to the very, very end.






am now reading

Finally finished The Boy in the Suitcase. Very interesting and with an ending not at all what you might expect from the title. The plight of immigrants in their own countries or new countries was subtly woven in a page turning thriller. I will say the beginning was slightly confusing jumping from place to place and it took a bit to see the threads and motivations start to come together but ultimately there was a satisfactory - and very surprising ending.
I had the good fortune to meet both authors just last evening at our local bookstore and the conversation was enlightening. I look forward to the next book from them and more on the changing face of Europe.

This one ended up being a favorite of mine when I read it but unfortunately, I haven't cared much for the way the main character developed in subsequent books.



leading to, so I take it as a bit of humor!)The subject matter is interesting, 3 possible murders, an accident involving one of Mary's friends, Lady Veronica Beaconship, a medium, and a study of religion, jewish faith. Laurie R. King is excellent
in this field. I like her books as they are always
new and fresh, but maintain the tone of Sherlock
stories.
