Barbara (cinnabarb) | 9999 comments I finished Smoke Screen by Sandra Brown. All in all I enjoyed the book. Interesting characters, sufficient twists, and a satisfactory ending. 3.5 stars.

I'm gonna add this to my to-read list. I like Dennis LeHane,


message 8404: by Susan (new)

Susan (wife2abadge) I finished "Moving is Murder" by Sara Rosett, and "Duty to the Dead" by Charles Todd. The Rosett was the first in a series of cozies, and it was pretty good. I got awfully tired of hearing about her baby, Livvy, and her diaper changes. The Todd book was about a WWI nurse, and I really liked the character.

Beth | 408 comments I'm reading The Brutal Telling and Bury Your Dead back-to-back, and I recommend that any other Louise Penny fans read these two books together, because they are connected. Otherwise, you may be disappointed in The Brutal Telling.

You'll love it. Kept me up for a while after I read it. Let's discuss when you are done reading it.


message 8409: by Elli (new)

Elli | 228 comments Finished and reviewed Tengu by John Donovan, and enjoyed it. A really good read, I thought. Martial arts based with a rather heavy plot revolving around some mideast terrorists, an older Japanese sensei master who is still bitter about the decline of the older Japanese culture with the ending of World War II, and a special ops service inquiry about what happened to some of their people and who did it. Am now finishing the Defector by Daniel Silva and HhH.

Jan C (woeisme) | 39237 comments Just started The Girl of His Dreams by Donna Leon. I usually enjoy these stories by Leon. Starts out on kind of a downer though - at his mother's funeral.

message 8427: by Sandi (new)

Sandi | 451 comments I just finished rereading the first Enzo mystery. The hard cover was named "Extraordinary People" and the soft cover is "Dry Bones" -- does anyone know why they sometimes change the names for the soft cover/paperback? I'm now reading "Bruno, Chief of Police" which is turning out to be more interesting than I had expected.

Jannene | 775 comments I just finished The Mark of Athena (Heroes of Olympus, #3) by Rick Riordan and it was a very good book. I think I am going to start Presumed Guilty by Tess Gerritsen now.

message 8438: by JB (new)

JB Rowley (jbrowley) I am working my way through Arthur Upfield's who-dun-its and enjoying the Australian history aspect as well as the Australian 'Sherlock Holmes' (Napoleon Bonaparte).

Some of the books are set in Melbourne and surrounding areas and it is interesting to read about how the places were in the 1940s.

I have just finished The Devil's Steps by Arthur W. Upfield and Death of a Swagman by Arthur W. Upfield


message 8439: by Jan C (new)

Jan C (woeisme) | 39237 comments I would like to read all of Arthur Upfield but I'm not sure that they are all available in the US. I enjoyed the one I did read - Murder Down Under.

I read a number of them years ago, from a small country library that had them. I don't know if they had all of the series, but I do remember they had several. I liked them myself.

I just checked my library's catalog - they have 18. Who knew they had so many? I had been getting the ones I have at used book sales or at Powell's.

Some are available through Amazon. I have just received a paperback copy of The Clue of The New Shoe which I ordered for some friends for Christmas. It is set in Aireys Inlet where they live. (I am planning on reading Murder Down Under soon.)

Meinolf (mevo1961) | 4 comments I'm just reading Schwarze Piste. So far I've read all the books of this author and liked them all. They are located in the region where I live, so I know most of the places mentioned in the books. Unfortunately for most of you, there are no english translations available.

Jeffrey | 51 comments I just finished "The Casual Vacancy", and am now reading "Cloud Atlas".


message 8450: by Penny (new)

Penny Just finishing The Fabric of Sin (Merrily Watkins, #9) by Phil Rickman
anyone else into the Merrily Watkins series? These have good murders with a bit of a ghosty twist - but not in a silly way more like evil residing in a house due to events there or people being affected by something spiritual. These do not have 'hauntings' or ghosts wandering around, the main character is a vicar who is the ' Deliverance' consultant of her diocese.
