Sorry to hear your are giving up on the Girl in the Blue Dress Just read Dan Simmon's book Drood fiction of the last five year of Charles Dickens live. Thought it was a very good read was looking forward to Blue Dress will try it tough

[Beth]

I love Stuart Macbride also, just started . I love the Logan McRae character and all of the other characters in the book, they are very likeable. Great books

[Jan]

Just finished The Golden Mean by Annabel Lyon - a great read. I'm looking forward to discussing it at my book club tonight.

[omgbart]

Started Don't Look Twice: A Novel by Andrew Gross today... :)

[Sally]

I'm reading The Song Dog by James McClure. The story takes place in South Africa during the apartheid era. It is difficult to read about the attitudes of white South Africans towards non-whites but this is a very good mystery so far.

[Judy]

To Cc: my husband is reading Watchlist by Jeffrey Deaver right now. Kind of an inventive book with Deaver starting a story and several other mystery writers each taking a turn to add to it..with Deaver tying it all together. He says its a good read and would recommend it.

Finished a re-read of A Thief of Time which I enjoyed.

Finally finished Gulliver's Travels, which I enjoyed some of. Too long, really.

And also finished Arthur & George which was strange. Language beautiful, very well written, but the story kind of fizzled out at the end. It's based on a true story, so it wouldn't have the fab ending of a crime thriller, but I was left a little disappointed.

Am now reading The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency and I just started Killing Floor.

[Gatorman]

Just started Breach of Trust byDavid B. Ellis. Have read all of his books and enjoyed them immensely.

Gee I used to read Hillerman all of the time. Wonder how I got away from him. I'll have to look for a new one.

[Almeta]

On February 15th I was 121 pages into Déjà Dead and gushing about how I thought that the author drew pictures with words.

Soon afterward though I hit a slump. I never take this long to read a book. I had a hard time through the middle.

The device of calling a friend to have him explain the psychology of serial killers,which it turns out, are never predictable, seemed forced and text bookish. And I felt that those clever metaphors and similes had disappeared.

Then things picked up again. I ended up liking the book. This was her First, and I will give her Next a chance. Maybe next time both our bio-rhythms will be in sync.

That is good to know that Dena Dead picks up. I'm bogged down in that book and I have been that way for a while. But if it picks up I will stick with it a while longer.

[Morgan]

Right now I'm reading The 8th Confession and it's really good so far. However, I want to hurry and finish it so I can read The Scarpetta Factor

[Pamela]

Just finished 18 Seconds: A Novel. Gave it 4 stars. I found it very suspenseful, and a good read.

Warning . . . serial killer on the loose !!

[Lee]

Up next...The Instant Enemy Lew Archer #14

[Bryan]

Finished A Cold Day in Paradise by Steve Hamilton yesterday. I was pretty dissapointed. Based on the awards it racked up, I was expecting more.

I'm now reading City Of Bones by Michael Connelly. Reading the "Bosch" books in order and I'm enjoying them all.

[Lee]

I enjoyed his 'Alex McKnight" series, Bryan.

Maybe give him another try..second in the series Winter of the Wolf Moon

[Dorie]

I really enjoyed Wicked Appetite. Now I'm starting Treachery in Death, which I've so been looking forward to.

[M.A.]

I've just finished reading Sugar & Spice a gritty tale based on a true story of paedophiles (pedophiles for the US readers)

I've just started reading The Father's Child Great read so far.

I'm trying to support fellow Indie authors in between reading Karen Rose thrillers, love all her books.

Dorie I'll be interested to know what you think of Treachery in Death. I only started the series this month, so it's going to take me a loooooong time to make it that far!

[Al]

I just finished reading North of Forks by Shana Hammaker. I loved this short thriller. It kept me reading well into the wee hours. I finished it in one evening. I posted a review on site.

[Barbara]

I just started Nine Dragons by Michael Connelly, a Harry Bosch mystery.

Finished already Charlotte, and it was great! I envy you reading all the books for the first time. This was the 33rd book in the series, and I still get a little thrill when a new book is released.

Hi Cc - I felt the same way after reading Heartsick, but my thoughts are that they will get better, I have the next 2 books in the series and I need to get them read before deciding to move forward. To me, I just think that you should not give up on a series after the 1st book if you are not feeling it - sometimes it takes to book 2 before the characters get developed. Just my opinion. :)

[T]

CC & Linda:

I just finished Evil at Heart this morning.....I'd read the first one and missed the second one....Not sure if I will go back to read the 2nd one....There are a ton of other books on my TBR list, so I guess if I do go back for the 2nd one, I'm not feeling any urgency to do so.

[[deleted user]]

I just finished this evening Red Chaser by Jon Spoelstra. I read it last year and rated it 5 stars, but this time if I could rate it more than 5 stars I would. I did not realize what I missed the first time. It was enjoyable to read.

[[deleted user]]

I have just started No Justice by Darcia Helle.

[Barbara]

I started We Shall Not Sleep by Anne Perry.

[Gatorman]

Hugh wrote: "Reading The Terror, by Dan Simmons."

Great book. Long but never boring.

[4cats]

am nearly finished Great House she is deconstructing the novel and its form, it works at times but got to admit have read great things about this book but doesn't quite work for me. Prefer Auster any day.

[Libby]

Just finished City of Veils: A Novel by Zoe Ferraris. I wrote a review of it at:

http://boomersandbooks.wordpress.com/...'
Suffice it to say I liked it a lot. It's a fascinating look at women in modern Saudi Arabia, and a good mystery too.

Just started Sleepyhead by Mark Billingham. Very creepy so far. Reminds me of Dalton Trumbo's JOHNNY GOT A GUN.

[Andrea]

Just finished reading A Small Murder in Lisbon. Loved it for the blend of current murder and historic involvement with World War II Nazis in Portugal. Author is Robert Wilson.

[Almeta]

Just finished The Help,which is not a mystery. Still I think everyone should read it, especially if you are an America child of the sixties.

Starting Horns

[Kim]

I've just finished listening to the audiobook of Dorothy L Sayers' Strong Poison. I read it years ago, but had fogotten how witty and entertaining it is. I'm going to start listening to the the next Peter Wimsey / Harriet Vane book straight away. Classic mysteries (with satire and social commentary thrown in for good measure) are great!

[Cc]

Just finished Glory in DeathJ.D. Robb; Now reading Immortal in DeathJ.D. Robb and The PoetMichael Connelly. I'm thinking about starting Janet Evanovich Plum series and/or Allison Brennan TrilogySpeak No Evil

[Benjamin]

I've just started The Altar of Bones by Philip Carter. Its an ARC so I'm anxious to see how this one plays out. The cover blurbs certainly are intriguing...

[Josh]

The Ghosts of Belfast I am deep into this wonderful crime story of a tragically flawed hero, struggling towards his own twisted redemption. It's not Ken Bruen, The Guards
But it is fine Irish noir.

[Robyn]

I just finished reading 1st To Die. What an awesome book! It was a roller coaster of emotions. I love books that can make you go from laughing out loud to crying in a chapter. Then I feel invested in the character. Makes me care and I can't wait to read the next one!

I have read all but the last two or three, and liked most of them. Devil's Corner was okay. Not my favorite, but not my least favorite, either. I think Dirty Blonde is my least favorite.

You convinced me Josh. I put this book on hold at the library. I love (good) books and movies set in Ireland. I don't know why really as I'm sure I don't have even one Irish gene :)

Hope you will enjoy The Scarpetta Factor! I really liked and recently finsihed Port Mortuary which was very good too I thought.

Added it too. Hope it is as okay as the summary seems to say.

[Jeane]

I am completely enjoying reading The First Man in Romeand knowing that it is for 1000 pages just adds to the pleasure. Als reading Love Without Resistancein Dutch but it seems to be not really good for the moment. Keeping it for the trip to and from work as it is thin.

[Gary]

Just finished Dismissed With PrejudiceIt was a little slower to get moving than some of her previous books in the Beaumont series, but once it did, it was quick and interesting and overall well worth reading.
