Read The Taker, Very strange book. Let me know what you think of it.

[Alex]

Eventually finished Dead Like You by Peter James and have just started The Paris Vendetta by Steve Berry

[Jan C]

Just started The Fifth Woman by Henning Mankell. This is one series I don't appear to be reading in order.

[Veronica]

I just finished reading Dead Reckoning by Charlaine Harris. I wasn't too happy with this one. Hopefully book 12 and 13 will end the series with a bang.

I am currently reading Cross Fire by James Patterson.

[Diane S ☔]

Finished Motor City Shakedown I really like this series, about Detroit in the early 1900's, the corruption and mobs ruling the city and the beginnings of the automotive industry. Reminds me a lot of Chicago. Now reading The Marriage Plot and Harbor, a spooky Swedish read.

[Barbara]

I finished Breaking Silence by Linda Castillo. The plot really holds together in this one with a very satisfying ending. 5 stars for me.

Finished Lorenzo Carcaterra's Midnight Angels: A Novel this morning. Set in Italy mostly, particularly Florence, and involving Michaelangelo's hidden art works and two groups attempting to discover/steal/sell/place the artworks to either the highest bidder or where the art belongs. Lots of dead bodies and deals being cut in the process.

[Elli]

Am getting more into Henning Mankell's Chronicler of the Winds, a book I picked up off the shelf in the library, one I was not meaning to read at this time although Mankell is one of my favorite authors. The theme is more the homeless kids for one reason or another in the Mozambique cities. It goes into the historical, too, the colonial era and its remnants all giving a larger and more in-depth picture of the present time. The ten or eleven year old child in question is slowly dying from gunshot wounds, also is a very unusual and sensitive person who has affected a number of lives.

I love Audible. I'll have to remember your recommendation--sounds like something I would enjoy. Thanks.

[Susan]

I am currently reading Nine Lives Last Forever by Rebecca M. Hale. It is pretty good so far.

You better get busy then, Avisek!

[Jeanette]

I am currently reading Martha Grimes , so far its good.

[Sharon]

Started Nothing To Fear and have picked it up and put it down half a dozen times, finally for good. Just not my thing, apparently.

Have a couple of books by Ian Rankin so may go with one of those next.

I read Nairobi Heat recently. Very interesting mix of African/American policeman investigating a US murder in Kenya which also intersects with Rwanda, genocide, corruption, criminal life....

Strongly recommend the Kwei Quartey series set in Ghana, the Malla Nunn series, Robert Wilson's fabulous Bruce Medway series set in West Africa, and I'm sure there are more...

[Everett]

Just finished Storm Rising - A Kelli Storm Novel by Ken Hoss and am working on Zero Sum Book 1 - Kotov Syndrome by Russell Blake. "Storm" is good if you like cop books with a female protag.

[Monica]

About 50 pages into The Night Strangers by Chris Bohjalian. Liking it so far.

You've got a lot of great reading ahead of you on this series, Anthony! I, too, am a fan of C.J. Box's Joe Pickett series. Once you catch up on his series, two similar authors I recommend are William Kent Krueger and Craig Johnson.

Great book and series. Enjoy!

I was raised in that general MT/WY area and spent much of my adult life there so am very sensitive to even small 'errors' in location and attitudes, which makes me much more critical, of course. C. J. Box and Margaret Coel both write series set in that but I've never gotten involved with their characters.

I discovered Craig Johnson with his first book. He does everything right, his characters are people I actually *know*, his locations are real and some of them you wouldn't know about unless you'd really been there personally.

Another author that does it equally well in a very different way is Peter Bowen. Many of his books are written around the clash of the ranchers and the incoming tourist/conservationist groups and he really has that down accurately.

Still reading Chronic City Chronic City

and thinking it's the finest literary fiction I've read since Peter Carey's Unusual Life of Tristan Smith.

[Sharon]

Well into Blood Hunt and finding it very interesting. The plot appears to revolve around around a global chemical company. I am getting into a section now involving BSE in cattle, which interests me a great deal as I've been involved in the livestock business one way or another most of my life.

[Jannene]

I started this book yesterday and I am already 52% way through the book. It is such a fast read and I do love this series by James Patterson. I've been reading as well but having a hard time getting into the book. I usually do with the first book of any series. I suppose it is because of learning about the characters and background work that is needed for a connection.

[Bill]

I just finished The Serpent's Tale by Ariana Franklin, the second book in the Mistress of the Art of Death series and it was even better than the first. 5 stars!. I'm now starting an oldie but a goodie, Live and Let Die, the 2nd James Bond story.

[Jeanette]

I just started reading by Elizabeth Gilbertand so far i like it.

[Jennifer]

Just finished All the Flowers Are Dying and am halfway through No Rest for the Wiccan .

[Sandra]

I just finished Kisscut, my 2nd Karin Slaughter. I love a good series, & this Grant County series is a good one. Karin Slaughter is a great author for the slightly morbid (yes, like me!). Shock-value plays a big part of her books. A friend mentioned to me that she enjoyed this second book more than the first, Blindsighted, because it wasn't as graphic, but that really isn't true! I can hardly wait to discuss this with her! Not much bothers me, & I wasn't disturbed by either book, but I did find myself saying, "Eww!" a few times during this one!
I really enjoy the relationships in this series, particularly that of Sara & Jeffrey. I won't give anything away, but for those who have only read books 1 &/or 2, I want to add that I am anxious to get to book 3 because I'm a bit worried about Lena & how her behavior & thoughts are concerning... I can almost hear ominous old-time soap-opera music in the background along with, "Tune in next book when we find Lena..."

Hi Sandra, the Grant County series is great - you have a few good books to look forward to. Try the Will Trent series also by Karin Slaughter (great name for a crime author by the way), the first in that series is Triptych. Enjoy!

I love Karin Slaughter and the Sara Linton series that you're reading is fantastic. Lena is a very complicated character and seems to have a self destruct button which she can't help but keep pushing. I hope you enjoy the rest of the series!

[Kim]

Another Karin Slaughter fan here. I have probably enjoyed the books from Tritych onwards more than the Grant County series. I think she is a writer who has improved as she's gone on.

[Nikol]

Umm, Just finished "Breaking Dawn".
Good, there were some parts i wished there weren't but it was nice reading Bella's and Edward's end.

[Susan]

I just started The Sleepwalkers by Paul Grossman. It is pretty good so far.

[J.F.]

I just raced through The Fear Index by Robert Harris - it really kept me on the edge and I had to keep reading
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11...
It's quite different to his other books which I think of more as historical - this is more techno-thriller, like Daemon by Daniel Suarez with a lot of information on the financial markets, so interesting as well as a thriller. My full review to come soon :)

[Mark]

[Steffi]

reading Web of Deceit by glenn meade.

[Sharon]

I've managed to get hooked on the Sam Casey series by S.D. Tooley, a nice blend of police/mystery and Native American paranormal, which works very well for me. They are a fast read, but I'm definitely hooked ... on the third of the series already.

I really liked .All the Flowers Are Dying, but then I haven't yet read a book by Lawrence Block that I didn't like a lot

[Jane]

I have just finished Thus Was Adonis Murdered by Sarah Caudwell (an author I had never heard of before Goodreads) and thoroughly enjoyed it. Very witty, clever plot and left me wanting to read more by the same author.

[Barbara]

I'm reading The Blue Hour by T. Jefferson Parker.

[Bea]

I rave about Caudwell to anyone who will listen. So glad you enjoyed. There are only four books (she died young) but they are all good.

[Diane S ☔]

Finished Defending Jacob which doesnt come out until Jan. but it was really good, sort of a cross between Grisham and Turow but with more concern for the characters. Now I have to go and read his previous novels. Now reading The Nightmare: A Mystery with Mary Wollstonecraft and found out the picture on the front is by the artist Ivan Albright whose paintings are at the Chicago Art Museum.

Pete,
Just want to give you a shout out for mentioning "Tristan Smith". One of my favorite books of all time that most folks I recommend it to can't seem to get into.
Given that, while I'm not a huge Lethem fan, I'll check out Chronic City.

[Cathy]

Just finished Three Seconds which I really enjoyed - good set up, good characters, great tension - couldn't put it down!

Now reading my first Tess Gerritson The Sinner - hope it's as good!

[Jannene]

I just finished by James Patterson. I love this series and this book did not disappoint me. It was a fast read and I just couldn't put the book down. I loved the characters in the book and the ending was just perfect. I cannot wait for the next book to come out now.

[Fiona (Titch)]

I'm reading Molly's Millions - Victoria Connelly

[Alex]

Have just finished The Paris Vendettaby Steve Berry. Didn't really get going until the action arrived in Paris. The book was about a supposed cache of treasure hidden by Napoleon but to be honest it didn't really capture my imagination and by the end I didn't really care whether it was found or not. Have just started Keeper of the Bride by Tess Gerritsen which is one of her early books and hopefully will show the talent that has developed so well in her more recent works.

[Dorie]

I'm reading by Todd Ritter, the first in a series. So far it is an impressive debut. Small town, grisly killer. Reminds me a little of Mo Hayder and Karin Slaughter.

I am waiting for Jacob to come out. Guess you got a ARC. Lucky. I read his first two, Mission Flats and The Strangler and they were both very good.

[Monica]

Have got my hands on Stettin Station, the third book in David Downing's series that takes place in Berlin during WWII.
