message 8603: by June (new)

June (juneedelsonnj) | 105 comments I just finished reading [[book:I, Michael Bennett|13037558]. I, Michael Bennett by James Patterson
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.

Diane S ☔ | 438 comments 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.

Mark Capell (mark_capell) | 39 comments 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. Not Dead Yet (Roy Grace, #8) by Peter James

Elli | 228 comments 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....


message 8609: by Karen (new)

Karen Cameron (kjcall) I am currently reading The Columbus Affair by Steve Berry . 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.

Brenda I'm reading Criminal Criminal (Will Trent, #7) by Karin Slaughter by Karin Slaughter at the moment...


message 8611: by Bill (new)

Bill 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.

message 8613: by Linda (new)

Linda LaMona (lindalamona) | 124 comments 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.

Jannene | 775 comments I just finished Reckless Abandon (Stone Barrington, #10 Holly Barker #4) by Stuart Woods 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.

John (jkbrown2) | 389 comments 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.

Sharon Michael | 674 comments 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 Brat Farrar by Josephine Tey today.

Totally a fan of Karin Slaughter!!!

Susan (wife2abadge) 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 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.


message 8631: by Kelly (new)

Kelly | 8 comments Has anyone read The Secret Keeper The Secret Keeper by Kate Morton 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).

I read it Kelly. 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.

Diane, that was my thought too. 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.

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.

I love reading Karin Slaughter. 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!!

Ariel (sevenmoonlight) | 8 comments I just started In the Shadows of Paris A Victor Legris Mystery by Claude Izner In the Shadows of Paris. The first chapter drew me in - so far so good.

Michael Sherer (mysteryauthor) | 3 comments 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.

June (juneedelsonnj) | 105 comments I'm reading Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience and Redemption. Unbroken A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience and Redemption by Laura Hillenbrand . And Trust Your Eyes by Linwood Barclay . 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.


message 8644: by Jannene (new)

Jannene | 775 comments I just finished A Necessary Evil (Maggie O'Dell, #5) by Alex Kava 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.

I am currently reading Trust Your Eyes and am enjoying it. (I'm actually listening to it on audio.)

Fiona (Titch) Hunt (titch) 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.

Mark Chisnell (markchisnell) | 136 comments Just getting into David Baldacci's Zero Day - good so far, but I keep thinking it's a Jack Reacher prequel...


message 8648: by Mihail (last edited Nov 28, 2012 10:54AM) (new)

Mihail (mihaildz) | 6 comments Finished Flaggermusmannen by Jo Nesbø and started WISHBONE...Be Careful What You Wish For by Brooklyn Hudson . 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!


message 8649: by Gillian (new)

Gillian Hamer | 37 comments 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.


message 8650: by Jannene (new)

Jannene | 775 comments I just finished The Dead Man Face of Evil by Lee Goldberg . Do not waste your time on this book. It was horrible. The plot was weak at best, the profanity was throughout the book, and it was just a plain pointless read.
