Currently Reading? Just Finished?




I Just read 2 of the Clifton Chronicles > Book 1 > only time will tell and Book 2 > Sins of the Father
Book 3 doesn't come out til 2013 so I'm Listening to an Audio of Prisoner of Birth.



P.S. If any of you folks like Jo Nesbø, Amazon has the kindle versions of Nemesis, The Redbreast and The Devil's Star for under 4 dollars.

Love Matt Scudder novels.They are my favorite.




I love this series. The psychological aspects of these mysteries fascinate me.

Maybe that's why I like Matt Scudder so much. My first love was Marlowe.


Have you read this one Mark? The Whisperer Thought this one was great and had some of the same psychological underpinnings of the Robothams.

You bet! I recently read The Redbreast and loved it. Needless to say, I've already scooped up the other two titles.


Yeah, I'm getting to the party late on
Lawrence Block and his Scudder books. But now that I'm here, I'm loving them!

I've read them all, they're great. Love Nesbo!

I'm having trouble finding the first couple books at a reasonable price. I hope I'm not screwing things up reading them out of sequence?!

Not sure where you are, but in the US they were published out of order. So I guess we are already screwed up.

I read them out of sequence and it was okay.

Marie, I've always been a fan of Jeffrey Archer and collect and read everyone of his books. He's great! Definitely read those early ones.

Not sure where you want to add photos to Temple? when you talk about a book?

June, I just finished Sharp Objects and it was such a fantastic read.
I'm currently in the market for a new book to read. I'm new to the detective/mystery series stuff. Only familiar with Alex Cross by James Patterson. Anyone recommend a good series I could start?

Kristen, there are so many I love! Lee Child's Jack Reacher series, C.J Box, Daniel Silva, Vince Flynn, Catherine Coulter's FBI series, David Rosenfelt's Andy Carpenter series and his stand alone books, Preston & Child Pendergast series, these are some of my favorites.

Thanks for your help, June! Any your quick reply! :)



I've been wanting to read the Hypnotist but haven't gotten around to it. How was it? Did you write a review on it?

I see big photos in the update status and I wonder how its done.

How do you make a status to begin with?

Well I liked the book. As I can see around here, not everyone did, but I found it intriguing enough to read it in every spare time I had. If I judge the book by the desire to get to the end to "find out who did it", I must say this one hit me. The beginning was pretty tense and so was the rest of the book. I couldn't quite get into the hypnosis seances thing, I found it quite unbelievable but maybe it's just me. And yes, as someone here said, the sexual involvement of some characters was quite inappropriate to the situation but it didn't spoil the story. All in all, it isn't a bad read, go ahead and read it. You may like it or you may not, don't believe what others say because likeliness is always pretty subjective thing. It is only one way to find out :-)







This is one of the series I have followed since the first book, all good, though Orchid Beach is still my favorite in the series. Will be interested to see what you think of the second.

I wonder why he stopped writing this series then. The last one looks like it was written in 2009.

I have read all Stuart Woods books. I agree, I love the Holly Baker series, and now find that he brings the Holly character back in a lot of his Stone Barrington books.
