I love the Stephanie Plum series, especially the earlier ones. I also loved Beach Road.

Garnethill was (in my opinion) by far Mina's best book.
The End of the Wasp Season was also amazing!

I agree with you. Garnet Hill is one of my favorite books.
I just finished
, a kind of funny mystery with a zombie P.I.! I was attracted to it because the cover was so different, and I quite enjoyed it! Fun change of pace! I already picked up the next one,

Totally agree - start with the early books, skip the middle works, and then come back to the more recent ones...!

No Her Boyfriend's Bones s by Jeanne Mathews, a new author I found on Galley.net. Sorry for the confusion.
Just finished
Caught and was pleased but not AS pleased as I expected to be. The writing is excellent, as always with Harlan Coben, but I found the story to be slightly confusing. It went in so many different directions and I wasn't sure how it would all be connected. It wasn't a clear connection but still a connection.I've now started Blindsighted, the first book in the Grant County Series by Karin Slaughter. I've heard so much about this series and this author so I'm very excited to finally read her work! :)

I just started reading Bolero by Joanie McDonell. A friend recommended it. Bolero is along the same lines as the Heller series by JD Nixon or maybe the Brandy Alexander series. Nick, the main character lives on a barge of all things and yes, he is your typical bad boy who was raised by nuns. It is $4.99 on Amazon for Kindle.
Just finished Murder in Emerald Hills by Sabena Stone. Now reading Death by a Honeybee by Abigail Keam. Both are great reads with interesting characters and plot twists.

I just finished that one last week and really enjoyed it. I also happen to be giving a copy away on my blog. Here's a link to my review and giveaway http://e135-abookaweek.blogspot.com/2....
Now I'm reading Angel's Gate by P.G. Sturges.
I've finished Devil's Waltz - Jonathan Kellerman. Was an ok read. Got a bit boring at the start and near the end was like where it got interesting. Now I think I am gonna read Bloodstone - The Guardian's Curse - J. Michael Radcliffe.
I'm reading my way through the Parker books, by Richard Stark, and enjoying them in a guilty pleasure sort of way.Jamie

Parker isn't for everyone but I really like this series.
Finishing Booked To Die and Anil's Ghost. Traipsing through Buried in a Bog--I do so love a bog body. Starting Triptych and The Blackhouse. Promises to be a good weekend.
And is that the sun, i see? What is that bright, blinding orb in the sky? My eyes! My eyes!

became available from my library and since I've been waiting months for it, I'm going to read that first! Can't wait! :)
I'm currently enjoying my first mystery by John Burdett, Bangkok 8. I like the exotic setting, Thailand, the characters, the incorporation of Buddhism into the mystery. Very interesting so far.

Just finished Trust Your Eyes by Linwood Barclay. One of the best books that I read this year so far.
Almost done with One Good Dog by Susan Wilson - for a group read. Just added Moon Dance ( Vampire For Hire #1) to my currently reading list. Continuing with The Passage by Justin Cronin.
