Tana French is great. I have a hold on the next available copy of the Likeness at the local library.

Just finished Gone Tomorrow by Lee Child. Vivid imagery and Lee Child at his best....

Nine Drago..."

I really enjoyed this book. I thought it had quite a bit of action and an interesting story.

Oh! Loved Rebecca and never saw the movies. However, apparently there's a new one in the works. Some big name directing/producing but I'm at a loss for name at the moment. I had an argument that lasted HOURS with a friend about the name of the narrator... the second Mrs. de Winter. The first name. I totally won that argument, my friend ended up re-reading Rebecca. So really it was a win all around.

Currently reading Michael Connelly's "Harry Bosch" series. Have already finished "The Black Echo," "The Black Ice," and "The Concrete Blonde." Currently reading "The Last Coyote." I have enjoyed all, so far. Connelly writes so well.

Hello Renee. Oh heck! Now I'll have to read Rebecca all over again unless you can put me out of my misery. Am I right in thinking that the second Mrs de Winter's first name is never revealed?

Charles, I don't recall her having a first name.

Charles, she's never named. She's just the second Mrs. DeWinter. Rebecca was the first.

Nominated for an Edgar Award this year, and so far really good.

I'm currently reading The Fry Chronicles and Precious Blood. It's a bit of slow going at the moment. I'm enjoying both, but we're staying in a hotel for the weekend and spending most of our day watching Curling championships, so Ive been a bit pre occupied. I think my reading time over the next few months might be somewhat restricted too as we're picking up our new miniature schnauzer puppy, Bonnie, on Tuesday and I think she'll take up a bit of our time.. Then hopefully a male (Clyde) in Jun or so.. Very exciting.. :0)

[Linda]

Reading creep. Good luck with your puppy Bill, how exciting for you.

Every Bonnie needs a Clyde, Bill. Congratulations on your new addition. Perhaps if you find just the right genre those pups would settle right in and cozy up for a good read. Perhaps something noir for Bonnie and Clyde, but for mini-schnauzers? I'm not sure.... Oh! Perhaps a little Nick and Nora--and Asta, of course.

[Brian]

Reading James Scott Bell's Try Dying. Good stuff.

[Jannene]

I just finished and it was very good. I've really enjoyed the books in this series.

[Kim]

Last night finished While the Savage Sleeps, one of the travelers. I gave it five stars, very good suspense, murder and mayhem plot with a paranormal twist.

Since my pc crashed, I've been working off my phone and my Nook tablet, which aren't the best media for internet. So, this is what I read during that time:

3rd Degree: 4 stars
Body Double: 4 stars
Murphy's Law: 4 stars

I tried to read and listen to The Paris Wife and didn't care for it.

Hello Lori. Many thanks to you and Jan C. Now I can sleep easy again. Still might re-read Rebecca though. I often like to re-read a book and find I get more out of it second time around.

The second mrs de winter was never given a first name because daphne du maurier felt she couldn't come up with the correct name for her. So loved reading the book. Going to watch the movie at the weekend.

Brilliant read jim. Also what a fantastic insight into Stalinist Russia. I keep telling my siblings you can learn a lot of history from fiction as well as non fiction

Just finished reading Red Moon Rising-Episode 1 by Chad Mulligan. Don't know if anyone has heard of this guy but it was an impulse by for 99 cents. Great choice. It was a short read but can't wait to get the next episode. Anyone else read it?

I think you will love . The Andy Carpenter series is one of my favorites. Good mysteries with humor.

I'm just past halfway through Ice Cold and I figure I ought to comment as I might not make it to the end. This is my first Rizzoli and Isles and probably the last.

The first half of the book was fine, nothing to get excited about, a good premise, a little mystery, throw in some blood curdling scenes. I was even able to get by the endless relationship and broken heart stuff until...

Isles says to her husband "I really need you to support me on this." and he puts his arms around her and she knows he is totally on her side. Mickey Spillane doesn't do this. Sam Spade doesn't need emotional support and neither does Philip Marlowe. Not Angela Gennaro nor Harry Bosch. At least no one is sending out the 'hold me, I'm feeling vulnerable right now' message.

SPOILER AHEAD: While in Wyoming, Jane and Gabriel come back to their hotel to find two guys and lovers of Maura the Missing sitting together at a table in the lounge. The reader is supposed to infer that one of them, the gazillionaire is an old lover. Its never explained. Then it just falls apart.

The author describes the rich guy as a man so 'paranoid about his privacy, he rarely goes out in public.' Next paragraph we find the guy had been vacationing in Italy. Probably his own private Italy as the only one I know is public.

Rich guy tells us he just flew in on his private jet when he heard. Problem is, no one has contacted him. There are about a dozen people who even know about the circumstances and only three of them know this guy has an interest. Of the three, one doesn't know about Maura and the other two haven't contacted rich guy or knew he was in Italy and are surprised to see him there. Is Rich guy sitting in a luxury hotel in Milan monitoring police frequencies in Sublette County, WY? Still, its a good thing he showed up so they can fly the body back to Boston in his private jet and talk about their relationship with Maura all the way back.

WY made an ID on a charred corpse based on X-Rays that determine the body is female and about the right age and weight. Besides they have the woman's luggage from the wreck. They even did a dental X-ray and determined she had once been to a dentist. Slam dunk on the ID, right?

Back in Boston, the police, FBI and ME decide it might be a good idea to do an autopsy for a more positive ID. They do this after the funeral. Now they have dental records and guess what? Wrong Body. Autopsy unnecessary but all her friends got to stand around in the morgue and grieve over the crispy critter.

Hey, back to Wyoming. We have another major character to introduce with a hundred pages to go and Maura's story has disappeared for about 40 pages so let's pick that up again.

Once a mytery/thriller writer has jumped the shark this bad, I don't see a point in going on. How say you?
