That's fine by me because the boy's story is by far the most engaging part of the book. I can easily picture Tom Hanks as the boy's father!



I have to agree about the pages being to long and not just in this genre."
i love her too! I am reading book 3 of her krewe of hunters series called
Sacred Evil


This was a great book. I'm getting read to start The Sinner."

Thanks Kimberly! I read about a book a week and hope to have The Sinner done by next weekend. I bought her book bundle of this series since it was so cheap for all 8 books.
I'd love to read more but I have a full time job and am a part time student. Between the two, I'm very busy.




I totally can understand that. I figure if I can squeeze in a hour before bed then I am at least doing something. Plus, it helps me unwind...sort of...depends on where you are in the book. ;)

Thanks for that Fiona. I've read pretty well all of the Grant County books, now I just have to get the others done.

check out my review.

I am reading this as well (also got through GR). I am really enjoying it!










starting with The Sacred Bones by michael byrnes tonight

those are both GOOD!

Couldn't agree with you more about Hayder. She is fantastic. Is Hanging Hill her newest novel? Didn't know she had a new one out.

Winter Garden by Kristen Hannah (as free in store reading at B&N)
American Rust by Phillip Meyer
I have to say, I'm enjoying Winter Garden much better so far!


I'm a fan of the Lucas Davenport books and I think this is the best of the series.

Yay for The Beekeeper's Apprent..."
I'm a fan of the Mary Russell books. My experiences with a writer using a popular character have not been good, with the exception of the Robert Goldsborough Nero Wolfe books and the Mary Russells. (I think of every attempt to add to the James Bond books and shudder.)
Many of the writers who write Sherlock Holmes stories seem 1) to have never read the originals, 2) don't like Holmes (Phillip Jose Farmer's "The Adventure of the Peerless Peer"), and 3) have no understanding of the character.
King treads on dangerous ground, marrying off Holmes to Russell later. I think she pulls it off. When she adds to the Canon, it seems in character for Holmes.
The books aren't 'page turners', at least to me. They have a somewhat leisurely pace that matches what Doyle did.
I'm eagerly awaiting the newest in the series, "Pirate King."



Helter Skelter is in a class of its own. When I first read it, right after it was published, Charlie and his "family" were all safely in prison. Yet I couldn't stop reading until they were in jail in the book! I enjoy true crime but two books stand above all others in the category IMO: In Cold Blood and Helter Skelter.


much. It keeps Sherlock ALIVE and Mary is fun. I will find the next book and read it. Did you notice that in
the foreward Mary signs her name MJH???????? Got to read the next book. Must tell you about one of my favorite writers if you haven't read any of his books.
Frank Tallis. I am on the 5th book of his Doctor Lieberman series. Excellent. Begin with A Death In Vienna. Maybe there can be a chat with him one day. I've never been involved or know how to do that, but if he is on, I might try.

I need to try that book. It sounds good, and it is a series. I am a series addict!

I didn't realize that The Night Strangers was available yet. Thanks! I love Chris Bohjalian!

I love the Frank Tallis books. Such great historical data as well as mysteries. Such a great old world atmosphere.

Tom is supposed to play the boys father so I'm guessing Sandra will be the mother.
