I am reading which is the third in this series featuring Aabigail and John Adams and this time they are solving a murder at Harvard.

[Jannene]

I just finished listening to . I am enjoying this series. The library only has 3 of the series and they are in audio format. I may have to buy the books. I just started and am still reading .

Has anyone read any of Mary Higgins Clark's books? I bought a box of 50+ books from someone and there were a bunch of her books in it. I also got some Lisa Scottoline books in there as well. Anyone like Lisa's books?

[Teresa]

Lisa scottoline writes a strong series about a woman's law firm. It is a series but since each book showcases a different lawyer they can be read as stand alones. The charcters are well developed and the relationships between them work well

I've just finished Val McDermid's The Retribution. I count myself as a McDermid fan, but I found it rather a disappointing read. I've reviewed the novel here:

Between books... But the latest Stephanie Plum entry is staring at me from the top of the library pile... Talk about repetitive plot lines... They've gotten as thin as the doilies probably decorating half the armchairs in the 'Burg... But I'll admit that several characters keep me coming back for more!

I have just finished Angel with Two Faces by Nicola Upson and have just started The Coffin Trail by Martin Edwards which I have been looking forward to for ages and the library has just got for me.

Like Grandma!! I'm always wanting to read the next book just to see what crazy grandma does in it. The book with her and the coffin falling on her and pulling the guy's thumb off had me literally in tears. People at work thought I was crazy.

I'm glad to hear they can be read out of order. Thank you! I have a few from her and various books throughout the series. I hate reading series out of order because sometimes they build on each other.

Pamela, I read Killer Heat by Linda Fairstein last January. I did not have it marked as a book I really liked or disliked so it was just OK. The plot concerns three girls bodies, a released sex offender who now murders. Alexandra is on the case!

[Georgia]

I am now reading the Yellow Emperor's Cure. Begins in Lisbon, lots of local color. Dr. Antonio Maria goes to China to find a cure for syphilis. Is this an interesting topic? I will soon find out. I like books
that take me to exotic lands. I don't know if there is any mystery here. This book is written by Kunal Basu

[Georgia]

Pamela, Elizabeth George is a great writer.

[Jeanie]

I just finished Baldacci's "Zero Day" late last night. I couldn't put it down. (smiling) John Puller is Jack, Joe, and Mitch all rolled into one. If you don't know those names from the mystery/thriller genre, then you need to become acquainted with them. (evil grin) Go forth and read!

I love this series of books as well as Sandford's Virgil Flowers series. I recently went all the way back to "Rules of Prey" because it had been years since I had started at the beginning and refreshed myself on the Lucasverse. I just finished up "Buried Prey" a couple of days ago. Even though I had already read it when it was released in the spring, I still felt compelled to complete the cycle. (laughing at myself) He's such a bad boy in those first several books. I'm always amazed with his early years. Not that he's become tamed over time... just older and wiser, I think. I love the way JS has matured and deepened this intriguing character's personality and relationships over time and through his personal, as well as shared, experiences. Just like real life, or, I suppose, we all aim for that, at least! I'm glad you enjoyed Lucas, and I encourage you to get out there to your local bookstore or library and grab "Shadow Prey". Then once you've read "Invisible Prey" (the book where we all meet "that effin flowers"), then go purchase or check out "Dark of the Moon", the first Virgil Flowers novel. Read them in order if you can manage it and hang onto your butt! All of the Davenport and Flowers books are wild rides! Happy Reading! (hugs)

I know what you mean she's my 'guilty pleasure' and I agree the plot lines are getting very thin. To be honest I think it's Ranger that keeps me coming back.

Just finished Worst Case: A Detective Michael Bennett Novel by James Patterson. I wasn't expecting much from this as I feel JP's recent efforts have left much to be desired. I actually enjoyed this one. It had a good solid plot and Mike Bennett is a likeable lead character even if he did spend a lot of time 'screaming' at people which was a little off putting! Have now started The Soul Collectors by Chris Mooney.

Hi Marjorie, I really enjoyed The Rhetoric of Death she certainly balances history and mystery very well.

About 2/3 through Cruise of a Deathtime and thoroughly enjoying it. Glad I'm not on that ship, though!

just finished by david nicholls, cant say I really enjoyed it. it was ok, nothing more.
now starting with by robert masello

[Cathleen]

I just finished Julian Barnes'sThe Sense of an Ending a few days ago. It's a beautiful, haunting book (not in the mystery/thriller genre), and I'd highly recommend it. I've started Deborah Crombie's And Justice There Is None, and I'm really enjoying it.

I read VIGIL a couple of months ago and it exceeded my expectations. At the time I was actually looking for Masello's Blood and Ice. I still haven't read BLOOD AND ICE, come to think of it...off to search the shelves again.

How did you like Nicola Upson, Jane? This is the series with Josephine Tey as main character, right?

I am really enjoying it so far. I have blood and ice on my to read shelf too

[Barbara]

I'm reading The Last Dickens by Matthew Pearl.

[Cindy]

I've enjoyed all of Lisa Scottoline's books. I also continue to purchase every Stephanie Plum book but the ROFLOL moments are less and less. Just started Revenge of the Spellmans by Lisa Lutz. Lots of fun so far.Revenge of the Spellmans

I really don't think Constant Gardener is one of LeCarre's best. The whole Smiley series, starting with

The Spy Who Came in from the Cold / the Looking-Glass War through Smiley's People are vintage LeCarre.

Other books where you will really love the main character are The Russia Houseand The Tailor of Panama. I've read everything of LeCarre's up through Constant Gardener and think either LeCarre is burned out or I am.

I can't say you're wrong about Le Carre, Ken. He seemed to have a sort of crisis of content with the end of the Cold War. But I thought he hit a new stride with Constant Gardener. I also enjoyed it, but then I was living in East Africa at the time and "smuggled" copies to friends in Kenya. We thought we were so cool.

[Diane S ☔]

Finished Sup with the Devil and I really like this colonial series. Her writing is fantastic, Now reading Where All the Dead Lie and this has started out very strong.

[Jeanette]

Started reading by Neil Albertyesterday and not sure if I like it.

[Steven]

Think and Grow Rich, The Return of the King, a collection of zombie short stories (which prompted me to write one that I'm submitting tonight), and God knows what else. I don't know why I read so many different things at once!

I really enjoyed both of the Nicola Upson books although I think An Expert in Murder was the better story. I think the author has really done her research on Josephine Tey. She talks about Inverness (my home town) and the Highlands as if she really knows the area -I like that aspect very much. Also she makes the characters of Josepine and Archie very likeable and I already have the third book Two for Sorrow from the library waiting to be read.

If you read them I would be really interested to know what you think. :)

[Rachel]

I'm about half way through 66 Degrees North. It's okay but not really gripping me; the plot is all over the place. I enjoyed Where the Shadows Lie and I like the Icelandic setting (I love Iceland), but I'm not sure I'll persist with this series if he writes more.

I just finished the third one. I enjoyed all three. I was surprised to learn that the case "Josephine" was researching was an actual case - about baby farming and the implications the case had for various people around her.

I loved Rhetoric of Death and have #2 to read as well. We discussed it with our in person historical group and it was one of the best discussions we'd had. We were fortunate to have in the group an expert in the Louis XIV period. Amazing fun!

I read the Coffin Trail long ago, but really enjoyed it a lot. I went on to read some more of Martin Edwards books because it was so good. He's a very fine writer.

[Martina]

I have so many books going at once I'm just confused and I'm getting ready to move in a few days as well. Finishing Lee Child's first Jack Reacher, Killing Floor, and it's enjoyable; also working on Susan Hill's #3 Simon Serailler which is great, and rereading Peter Lovesey's #1 Sgt Cribb, Wobble to Death, for an upcoming in person Historical Mystery discussion. Also reading The Drowning River, Christobel Kent's #1 and the latest Leighton Gage Mario Silva book set in Brazil. Way too much at once. The Gage is terrific!

[Jannene]

I just finished listening . I enjoyed it and give it 5 stars like the others.

[Readingcureall]

I am still making my way through M.J Rose's books . I am so hooked. Her sexual thrillers have it all. I did however just start Come Back To Me by Melissa Foster. I am also starting the Lttle House books with my kids. So many books! :)

[Jeanie]

I just started the Stuart Woods's Stone Barrington series. I'm on book 2, and the verdict is still out. Lots of sex... I can't help but think, when these scenes are taking place, "Ewww, Stone, STDs!". (laughing) I'll comment more as I grind through the series. So far, the plots are fairly good. This second book is, definitely, better than the first. So, we'll see!

[[deleted user]]

Just finished The Novice's Tale, a good first entry in the series. Will continue if I can find the next books.

Am also reading The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals, the first section of which is profoundly disturbing.

He definitely has some Jack qualities, although, I find his "tough guy with a secret tender heart" persona very similar to Robert Crais's Joe Pike. His loyalty to the country and his job... Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp.
