I just finished reading [[book:I, Michael Bennett|13037558].
I dislike books about drugs, drug kingpins and gangs but since it was James Patterson, I had to finish it. Unusual for Patterson, we have to wait for the sequel to see what happens! I'll give it 2 1/2 stars.

Agreed. Really liked this book as well.
Reading an arc of Ordinary Grace: A Novel which I believe is his first stand alone. He is such a good writer, I am only on pg. 20 and am already hooked.
Right, I'm going to try a bit of Peter James Not Dead Yet . Sounds like a purveyor of traditional procedural -- not usually my thing. Let's see how it goes.
Am reading The Antiquarian, a Kindle offering that came my way. It's an historical mystery involving an elderly Spanish antiquarian in Spain in earlier times who has found a priceless document which he is translating and is murdered for....but...well, there apparently are some real twists and turns....
I am currently reading
. The historical information is very interesting. I will have to do a little research to determine how much is fact & how much is fiction, outside the base story.
I finished The Perfect Husband by Lisa Gardner and enjoyed very much. This was my first novel by her and it was a true thriller, a page turner, fast paced and well-written. Very entertaining. I'm currently reading Detective Inspector Huss, by Helene Tursten, another first by an author for me. Enjoying this as well. I'm about to start A Storm of Swords, looking forward to re-acquainting myself with this story.

I just got "The Other daughter by Lisa Gardener Looking forward to starting it. I've read her in the past and enjoyed her, I believe it was Catch me that I read and I enjoyed it.
right now I'm reading "Glory in Death by J.D. Robb so far good
I just started reading "Before I Go to Sleep". I am also read a historical novel. I have a feeling I will get drawn into this book as I love mysteries, thrillers as much if not more than historical fiction.
I just finished
and really enjoyed it. Now I'll have to figure out how to get the fifth book. Maybe I should suggest it as a Christmas present. ;)

Finished Tonight I Said Goodbye over the weekend and it was very good. Had a few first book issues but still a real page turner. I'm looking forward to reading more by Michael Koryta.
On the way home tonight I listened to most of Death of a Chimney Sweep. I'll finish it up over the next few days at the gym. You really can't go wrong with Hamish McBeth.

Yesterday finished Karin Slaughter 'Criminal' Anyone a fan? I'm new to her writing. Love the characters and thought the twin threads were very clever.

I finished The Forgotten byDavid Baldacci . It was a disappointment. I'm currently reading Executive Power by Vince Flynn
Just finished A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin. Terrific read, but long. Taking a break with something lighter and shorter by reading Death in the Clouds by Agatha Christie.
I'm still sticking with re-reads to facilitate finding more time for the artwork I have going. Finished a sci-fi re-read yesterday and will pick up one of my long-term favorites
today.

sorry to hear The Forgotten was a disappointment..

I'd be interested on your thoughts when you're done ?

Thanks to the person who suggested The Crossing Places. I really enjoyed it and I liked the main character -- she seemed quite "real" to me.

Gillian wrote: "Yesterday finished Karin Slaughter 'Criminal' Anyone a fan? I'm new to her writing. Love the characters and thought the twin threads were very clever."Gillian I listened to the audio version of of Criminal a few weeks ago and really enjoyed the book (and did Fallen a few weeks before). They both were great and I am turning into huge Will fan:-) I do like the way Slaughter intertwines her story lines. I live in Atlanta so reading about place I drive by is kind of interesting and makes me look at some buildings differently. I'm ready for the next book to come out.
Has anyone read The Secret Keeper
by K Morton? I just finished and would like to get someone else take on the book. I can't decide how much I liked or didn't like the book. The mystery part was intriguing but some parts of the book were so drawn out it made me a little crazy (and bored).
Kelly wrote: "Has anyone read The Secret Keeper

I thought the first two thirds of the book dragged but then the last one third of the book was fantastic. Think it could have used some better editing and maybe cut about 100 pgs. Agree about the long drawn out description.

I have yet to read a Karin Slaughter book. I have
Blindsighted but haven't started it yet.

The ending was great and I like how Morton tied all the pieces together. There were parts of the book that was just too descriptive and drug on. Yes, a good editor might have been able to clean it up some. I'm glad I'm not alone with the thoughts on this book.

No problem Gillian...I'm about half way through:)

I have enjoyed all the Karin Slaughter books I've read so far. I'm not that familiar with the Will Trent series, but do look forward to checking it out.
Just finished Murder Club by Mark Pearson. Another good read with DI Jack Delaney.Not sure what I'm going to start next.

I'm reading them in order - the best way in my opinion - but I'm not up to the Will Trent books yet. One day though!!
reading The Third Victim-really happy members of this group introduced me to this author-lisa gardner rocks!
Just finished QUEEN OF PATPONG by Tim Hallinan. Terrific read (see my review). Reading LOST & FOUND by Amy Shojai. Haven't made up my mind yet.
I'm reading Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience and Redemption.
. And
. Trust Your Eyes, Linwood Barkley is always a great thriller author, and this one starts off with a bang! As for Unbroken, I can't just read non fiction without taking a break from it. I am forcing myself to get back to it again.
I just finished
and enjoyed it. However, I figured out the killers about 3/4 of the way through but wanted to see what happens to Father Keller.

Just finished Howl - Annalise Grey which I found very good. Now I am about to make a start on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - Stieg Larsson.
Just getting into David Baldacci's Zero Day - good so far, but I keep thinking it's a Jack Reacher prequel...
Finished
and started
. Started reading Jo Nesbo from his first novel about Harry Hole and it was OK. I somehow couldn't get the image of the main character as it wasn't any descriptions of him in the book, but it was a very good reed. The book I started now, The Wishbone, is quite intriguing and has it's very scary moments just like watching a good horror movie. I can't wait to finish it, the author did an excellent job in bringing a very creepy atmosphere!
Okay, is it just me, but I love the Paul Temple Mysteries by Francis Durbridge. Something about the language that gives me goosebumps even though they are mostly just cosy mysteries, I'm still completely hooked to the end.I've just finished Paul Temple and the Margo Mystery.
