I just finished Lumen and found it a very interesting look at a complicated time in Crakow. I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on it.

[Diane S ☔]

Have Lumen here at home so I am very interested in everyone's comments. Finished Guilty Plea which I really enjoyed, learning about Toronto's legal system and the storyline was very good. Now startting The Lantern and Flash and Bones.

[Cathleen]

I've just begun reading A Share in Death by Deborah Crombie. I've heard and read much about this author and this series, so I figured it was time to read one. So far, I'm really enjoying it.

I'm a big fan of the series and anxioiusly awaiting the next one which won't come out until February, I think.

Great to hear, Donna. I hope to find more time to read Lumen. I was in Crakow many years ago, soon after the Berlin Wall came down, so I'm also enjoying being back there through the story.

I'm glad to see that she's written quite a few, so I think I'll definitely be reading more of them.

Love this series also. Love the atmosphere she instills in her novels kind f dark and brooding.

[Fiona (Titch)]

I have read The Mango Orchard: Travelling Back to the Secret Heart of Mexico - Robin Bayley. I am now reading Chasing Windmills - Catherine Ryan Hyde.

[Kim]

I'm reading No Wind of Blame, as part of my project to read all of Georgette Heyer's mysteries this year. After this one, I'll have two more to go.

I've read the entire series and can't wait for a new one to become available.

[Larry]

Just finished my 3rd book by Brad Thor, great writer, I think his Scot Harvath is better than Mitch Rapp??

I believe the first Brunetti book is Death at La
Fenice. Dressed for Death is an early entry in the Leon series though.

[Jane]

I have just finished Acceptable Loss by Anne Perry and I have to say that this is the best of her books so far. It is a brilliant story that races along to a satisfying conclusion but it is essential to read Execution Dock(the previous book)because the story is a continuation and follows immediately after.

[Elli]

Am reading The Borgia Betrayal now by Sarah Poole.

[Curlyhair]

Currently reading Seven Up, the next Stephanie Plum for me. Also The Butterfly Cabinet which I won in a giveaway.

[T]

Finished Hell Gate last night, started The Watchman this morning.

Fairstein's Alexandra Cooper series always provides a dose of history.

Crais' Joe Pike/Elvis Cole are fast fun reads.

You're quite right, Martina. I just did a Blog on Donna Leon and Dressed for Death was the third. I had read Death at La Fenice, just didn't remember that Signorina Elletra wasn't in it.

[Collin]

Some really good suggestions in this thread.

I just finished:



Very good legal thriller about a lawyer who discovers a plot to blow up airplanes mid-flight.

[Fiona (Titch)]

I have given up on The Translation of the Bones - Francesca Kay and Chasing Windmills - Catherine Ryan Hyde. So I have decided to read Fallen - Karin Slaughter.

@Bill...I very much enjoyed your blog post on Donna Leon. But then you know how much love that author!

[Jannene]

I just finished this book and loved it. It had the suspense, mystery, and the nasty murders. It even had a little bit of romance, not much but a touch.

[Gatorman]

Just finished The Devil All the Time. Really liked it, gave it four stars. Just starting the new John Connolly, The Burning Soul.

Thanks Fiona! I thought that is what she meant. I am going to start The Apprentice tomorrow, probably. All depends on the school work. :(

I've got the last 2 in the series :-)

[Jannene]

Did you like the books, Fiona? I have the 9th book on hold at the library. I am 34 out of 50 something. I may have the series read up to that point by then. ;)

Monica - Glad you enjoyed it. She is a great writer. :0)

Finished The Lantern which was a mystery with hauntings rather than Gothic style. Have now started A Death in Summer.

Dorie Have you finished this one yet? Just brought in home from the library today. My boss at work said she liked it alot.

[Dorie]

Diane, yup I just finished it yesterday. It was very good, as is all Krueger's books. My review is here if you want to read it: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I've now started Louise Penny's newest . I just love reading of the relationship of Gamache and his wife. How many great marriages do you get to read about in crime fiction novels?

[Barbara]

I'm reading Lethal Legacy by Linda Fairstein

[Elli]

Finished Sara Poole's The Borgia Betrayal which was a second installment to the story starting with Poison. She's a wonderful author and I enjoyed it from the position of being all but frozen to the chair following the plot, action, subplots, etc. I'm sure more we'll come and I will be getting them as they do come. Probably will do Barbara Hambly's The Shirt of His Back next, the last so far, I think, of the Benjamin January series.

I'm well into Zoo Station and enjoying it.

Finished The Watchman and started Hangman

[Susan Jo]

I got "The Surgeon" by Tess Gerritsen. As soon as I finish the book I am currently read I intend to jump right into this one. Thanks all for the recommendations.

Going to start Ready Player One and reading an ARC ofNightwoods

[Renee]

Reading Rogue Island, by Bruce DeSilva. It's darn good. As an author I get tired of 'knowing' where the author is going, but this one has me intrigued. It's worth checking out!

[[deleted user]]

Have been very remiss in posting my books, so here goes.

**A Dance to the Music of Time: First Movement. Interesting memoir, very well written. Will read the next installment.
**The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie. Re-read before reading book #3. I liked #2, The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag, but not as much as the first.
**Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Great fun as usual. Am slowly re-reading the entire cycle.
**The Awakening, audiobook. Very good recording of this pre-feminist classic at Librivox.

Am now reading:

**A Red Herring Without Mustard. (I like the titles and the covers of these books so much!)
**Here is New York. "Love letter" to my home town by the author of Charlotte's Web and The Elements of Style.

Have yoyu tried

[author:Helene Hanff|58918]'s Apple of My Eye. She, too, takes us on a quick tour of NYC. After I read it I gave it to my mothetr. She once tried to take my brother and me to the Cloisters but hadn't noticed that they were closed on Mondays. She had two miserable peeved kids on her hands. I think my brother left us there (he was 16) to find our own way back to the hotel.

[Jerry]

Just finished an oldie but a goodie. One Police Plaza received a lot of press when it was first published but I never got around to it. Other than scenes with typewriters and phone booths in them, the crime and solution is a timeless good read.

[Judy]

Beginning the series by Mark Schweitzer called the Liturgical Mysteries. The first is titled The Alto Wore Tweed. Combining music and mystery, supposed to be light and fun. I have the nine books all lined up on Kindle. I was sold after sampling the first one.

No I havent' ... yet. I recently re-read 84, Charing Cross Road, before reading The Duchess of Bloomsbury Street, and instantly put Apple on my TBR. Looks perfect for me.

Did you ever get back to the Cloisters? One of my favorite spots.

I did enjoy The Alto Wore Tweed. Hope you do too.

Currently reading Laurie R. King's Touchstone - one of her free-standing novels. I like her Mary Russell series and have read a couple of the Kate Martinelli books - this one is set in 1920s England, a time and place I have no familiarity with -- it's an interesting read.

I recently started The Alto Wore Tweed. Enjoying it so far. I saw someone's review of it and it sounded cool.
