A friend recommended Kate Atkinson's series about private detective Jackson Brodie to me, and I just finished the first in the series Case Histories. I was delighted to see that Masterpiece Mystery will be showing a three part miniseries on this book in two weeks' time. I will soon be reading the 2nd in the series " One Good Turn.

[Jane]

The TV series is excellent. I hope you enjoy it. It was filmed in Edinburgh where I live.

We watched the series on BBC Canada Jane. I thought it was fantastic, great cast, great chemistry and interesting stories.

This is my first Sandford book to read and I'm really enjoying it, I'm not a huge audio fan but I like to have one audio book for the car for the journey to and from work and as these books weren't available for the kindle in Ireland I went for the audio version, it's very good, keeping my interest a lot

I finished The Hypnotist by Lars Kepler last night. It's over 500 pgs long and I read it in 2 days. The hype around this book is well deserved. Just when I thought I had it figured out along came another twist. I look forward to more from this writing duo from Sweden.

[Margot]

I just finished "Pirate King" by Laurie R. King. Mary Russell may never be as famous a character as her husband, but I enjoy her more. I read the book slowly so I could enjoy the erudition and humor all the more. It isn't much of a mystery, but who cares? I tried to read Tess Gerritsen's "The Surgeon," but it was too scary for me. My next book will be Deanna Raybourn's "The Dark Enquiry."

[Steffi]

just finished The Hunger Games, really liked it. straight to Catching Fire now...

Thanks for mentioning this series. I will have to try it out. I thought Atkinson's Behind the Scenes at the Museum was very moving and readable. It was not exactly a mystery, however.

[Eve]

I finished The Lost Angel by Javier Sierra, about Noah's Ark and fallen angels. Good for fans of Dan Brown.

Big big love for all three of those books. My 11-year old is eating through them like candy now.

[Andrew]

I just finished The Map of Time, and, although I had mixed feelings about it, it did a great job of keeping my guessing, never knowing what to believe in from section to section.

[Jannene]

Just curious, how do you figure out what you are going to read next? Do you have a plan all mapped out? I always find it is a hard decision after I've finished a book. Do you just keep reading within the series and finish it then move on?

I posted this question on the group read but would be interested in other people's ideas.

[omgbart]

I never read parts of a series back to back. I also never read two books by the same author in a row. I don't really have a plan and enjoy browsing through my unread books when deciding what to read next.

[Elli]

Well now I'm back to Keeper of just Causes, finished the Betrayal of Trust and really thought it was a good book! Probably the best of the J.P. Beaumont's that I've read!

[Sharon]

Just back from a library run yesterday and just finished Heart of Ice a new author for me. Cover is what got my attention, book was reasonably good although rather predictable. Not bad but not something I would keep to re-read.

[Diane S ☔]

Finished
The Vault and it was good to see what Wexford has been up to since his retirement. Now reading Pirate King and I have to say that so far I am finding it quite amusing.

Hi Jannene. I like to mix things up so I rarely read one series book after another. I also like to mix up genres, noir, historical, cozy. Sometimes I just need something light and sometimes I want something with depth. Actually I usually have more than one book going at a time.

[Gatorman]

Just finished Shut Your Eyes Tight. Good thriller. Just starting Wolf Hunt.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Kill Alex Cross - James Patterson

[Jane]

Just finished The Legacy by Peter Turnbull and enjoyed it. It is the 11th book in the Hennessey and Yellich series and I would like to go back to the beginning to see how it all began.

[Betty]

I'm currently reading Murder In ChinatownbyVictoria Thompson. I started this series and now can't stop until I'm current with the books!

Oh, and Flavia is one of my favorite heroines. She's such a treat. I've got her next exploit on pre-order.

[Fiona (Titch)]

Finished Kill Alex Cross - James Patterson. Now back to Lone Wolf - Linwood Barclay.

I love the John Sandford books - Lucas Davenport as well as Virgil Flowers.

Shanghai Girls is the least favorite of mine from Lisa See, however I liked the sequel to Shanghai Girls better.

Enjoy!

Finished The Zero Hour last night - took me longer than usual, and it's a big book!

Started Love You More this morning, one of my winnings through an Alex Kava contest. This one should go fast, less intense than Zero Hour.

“Darkmarket is a lively account of how credit card crime is organized on the Internet and an engaging portrayal of some of the characters who are involved. It is a true crime story in the modern age, where young game-playing code cutters have taken the place of bank robbers—and where the information that identifies you is more likely to be stolen than your tangible property.”
Read a great review: http://nyjournalofbooks.com/review/darkm...

[Dorie]

Just started . I have not read this author before, so we'll see.

[Pete]

Just finished The Sickle's Compass, a brilliant debut novel by Texan lawyer Stephen Woodfin.The Sickle's Compass

[Carol/Bonadie]

I picked upMoonlight Mile by Dennis Lehane a few months ago but didn't get through it, not sure why as I love Lehane and the Genarro/Kenzie series. I'm going back to it next.

[Jeanette]

I'm reading by .I like the Regan Reilly series alot.

[Jan C]

Just got The Reservoir by John Milliken Thompson. I really liked the sample. I just hope the rest doesn't let me down.

Takes place in Richmond in 1885.

Almost done with this 99 cent crime novel - LOVE IT!

[Bill]

I'm halfway through by Edmund Crispin and have just started another mystery, by Patricia Wentworth.

I've enjoyed her books as well. In particular, I love the way she develops her characters.

oooh.. this looks good. I added it to my TBR pile :)

I am glad to hear positvie feedback on "The Pirate King" I have it on hold at the library and I am going to pick it up today.

[Diane S ☔]

Found The Pirate King very humorous, not your typical offering from King but good nonetheless. Just started The Affair and on pg. 5 Jack is thinking, "Or maybe I stood out because I was bigger and taller than anyone within a hundred yards" And they cast Tom Cruise. Utterly ridiculous.

This is one of my favorite mood series. I have to be in the mood for this type of book, slower, more literary and erudite, elegant and a bit mannered. A great change of pace after a surfeit of modern serial murderers.

I am currently reading Liver Let Die, by Liz Lipperman.Liver Let Die

[Julie]

Reading ; my first by Vince Flynn. Wanted something with some action and I'm getting it. Really enjoying this book alot and know I'll be reading more Mitch Rapp in the future...he's quite the badass :)

[Mark]

Half way through "We All Fall Down," the new one from Michael Harvey. Chicago. An odd but interesting combination of street thug stuff and bio-medical worries. Also an odd but interesting mix of first and third person: can't remember the last time I've seen that.

I have been AWOL for a while... you have all been busily reading. I haven't had time for much reading at all, unfortunately.

I did finish The October Killings, which was enjoyable and if I find the next in the series I will check it out.
My review here

I also read the third Flavia de Luce story: A Red Herring Without Mustard. Just love these books.

[Genine]

Case Histories:
I liked this book, and have already started reading One Good Thing, the next Jackson Brodie novel. I did, more than once, have to go back to remind myself who someone was (which case history was hers/his), and was wishing for a Dickens-like list of characters at the beginning of the book. That said, I found each case history engrossing; the author is a master of characterization.
Bonus: this book had been on my bookshelves for years, and just as I was finishing it, I read that it's being presented as one of a three-part miniseries on PBS - first episode airs October 16, I believe. Now I have to read the next book, One Good Thing, the next Jackson Brodie novel (it has also been on my bookshelves for quite a while.) AND, I've put the third, When Will There Be Good News? on hold at the library, Imagine hands rubbing together with pleasure.

[Deanne]

Reading Lush Life by Richard Price, really getting into it though it was difficult at first to work out what was happening.

Takes a while but the payoff is worth it, I think. What an ear for dialogue, too...

[Monica]

Very much enjoying the 6th book in Andrea Camilleri's series featuring Inspector Montalbano...The Smell of the Night.
