That's exactly what I like about her books. She does it better than anyone.

Ethan I just finished reading Cover of Snow by Jenny Milchman. While there were some major issues with the writing itself, I was very impressed with Milchman's originality. She is definitely one to watch.

Now I'm reading Fatal Decree by H. Terrell Griffin. This is the latest in the Matt Royal series. Griffin has never let me down in the past, so I look forward to reading this one.

glad to hear comments about this book- the author is doing a book signing at an independent bookstore not far from my house and i was thinking of picking up the book and getting it signed- the book sounds very interesting

I had a very mixed reaction to the author's writing style, but I would recommend it. Check out my full review on my blog.

Tay | 261 comments I finished Postmortem by Patricia Cornwell. I thought it was okay. I'm currently reading Deadman's Poker by James Swain


message 9115: by Bill (new)

Bill I just finished Ngaio Marsh's Death in Ecstasy and enjoyed very much. It's the 3rd Inspector Alleyn mystery I've read in January and it's been a most interesting journey. Alleyn is a very interesting police inspector, humourous, intelligent and ruthless. I plan to read one more Marsh mystery in January, just starting Artists In Crime, the 6th Alleyn mystery. I'm also currently enjoying a Michael Gilbert mystery, Close Quarters, about halfway through.


message 9116: by Erin (new)

Erin | 65 comments Just finished The Black Box by Michael Connelly. It was really good! Now I'm gonna start V is for Vengeance. It's been awhile since i've read a Kinsey Millhone book and i'm loooking forward to spending time with her. :)

Jannene | 775 comments I am hoping to finish Fan Mail (Sophie Anderson, #3) by P.D. Martin tonight. It has been taking a while since college started again.


message 9119: by Beth (new)

Beth | 14 comments Just finished A Letter of Mary by Laurie R. King. I am so enjoying her series featuring Mary Russell and her partner/husband Sherlock Holmes. The series is wonderfully set in time and place and Mary is brillliant. A delightful change from the usually depressed and lonely female crime fighters.


message 9120: by Mark (new)

Mark Chisnell (markchisnell) | 136 comments I just finished...

Barbara (cinnabarb) | 9999 comments I finished What the Cat Saw by Carolyn Hart. It's a cozy about sabotage, theft, and murder at an environnental corp. A telepathic cat provides the main clue - good light read.

Tim Warner | 72 comments reading Desert Places by Blake Crouch. Serial killer, pure evil, but compelling book. I definitely want to continue this series. any other fans here?


message 9126: by Tay (new)

Tay | 261 comments I just finished Deadman's Poker by James Swain. This is such a great fun fast pace series. I'm now back to reading Mitch Rapp. Currently reading Act Of Treason by Vince Flynn


message 9127: by TK421 (new)

TK421 (willymammoth) The Man in the Seventh Row by Brian Pendreigh. It's kind of like a movie critic's magical realism romp through classic cinema... and it kind of falls flat. The review is here if anyone is interested.


message 9128: by Dee (new)

Dee (hatcherdee) | 746 comments Currently reading Bad Move by Linwood Barclay Bad Move by Linwood Barclay. So far it is kind of funny. I think I like it, but always reserve judgment until the end.


message 9129: by Yvonne (new)

Yvonne (ysareader) | 53 comments Just finished The Beautiful Mystery The Beautiful Mystery (Chief Inspector Armand Gamache, #8) by Louise Penny a kind of locked door style chief Inspector Gamache mystery involving monks in a monastery in Quebec and Gregorian chants. Ends with kind of a cliffhanger involving one of the characters.

Currently reading Broken Harbor (Dublin Murder Squad, #4) by Tana French Broken Harbor. This is supposed to have a dark storyline--we'll see.


message 9130: by [deleted user] (new)

I am currently reading Zoo by James Patterson. Fans of James Patterson will not be disappointed. Although, it is not your usual Patterson mystery novel. Nevertheless, a new twist of genre is always healthy for the soul...and readers. Wishing you all the best! Zoo by James Patterson


message 9131: by Laurie (new)

Laurie (tolepainter) | 52 comments Just finished reading The Secret Keeper. I love her books and although it isn't classified as a mystery it does contain a mystery. I absolutely love her books. I don't usually give 5 stars but her books deserve it.

message 9137: by Bill (new)

Bill Last night I finished Close Quarters, a mystery by Michael Gilbert and I've got to say I was pleasantly surprised. I like it when I go in with no real expectations and it turns out that the book is an enjoyable read. I'm also enjoying Artists In Crime, the sixth Ngaio Marsh mystery and the more I read her books, the more I enjoy them. I'm just starting The Woman in Black by Susan Hill.

I really liked it, Taylor! My review really doesn't do it justice. What's interesting is that when I was posting my review to Amazon, I saw that he and Michael Connolly are friend/acquaintances. I hope you like it as much as I did!


message 9143: by Joanne (new)

Joanne | 19 comments I just finished No One Left to Tell (Romantic Suspense, #13) by Karen Rose as an audible book. Really gripping! There's some romance, but it didn't get in the way of the exciting plot and the constant twists. I'm starting Fatal Decree A Matt Royal Mystery by H Terrell Griffin , which I won here at Goodreads!


message 9144: by June (new)

June (juneedelsonnj) | 105 comments I'm reading The Sins of the Father by Jeffrey Archer and I'm loving it. It is book 2 of 3 of The Clifton Chronicles and I can't wait for the 3rd one to come out. I love his books, they never disappoint!


message 9145: by Steve (new)

Steve Goble Finally tracked down a copy of Red Harvestby Dashiell Hammett and really enjoyed it. Less a mystery than a tale of corruption, it is a pretty good read. Way more violent than "The Maltese Falcon."

I enjoyed that one and intend to pick it up as soon as I finish with the Mitch Rapp series.

message 9150: by Lili (new)

Lili | 9 comments Just finished ELLY GRIFFITHS new book Dying Fall You only have to read the first chapter to be hooked, it is a captivating book. A foray once again into the world of forensic archaeologist Ruth and her somewhat unusual, mystic friend, Cathbad; a foray into a thrilling plot that intrigues, fascinates and alarms.
