Just finished The Tiger in the Smoke by Margery Allingham. Kind of confused by it. Will not read another in the series.

Is that the first Allingham you're read? The earlier books are much better, although I did like Tiger in the Smoke.

[Nancy]

I've just finished The Cemetery of Swallows, by Jean-Denis Bruet-Ferreol, aka Mallock. It's from Europa World Noir.

I felt the same way.

[Kathleen]

Now I am reading Camilla Lackberg's The Stonecutter and finding it quite intriguing.

I couldn't get past her first book. It read like a mix of chick-lit and crime (to me).

[Anna, Moderator & Founder]

I finished Till offer åt Molok, err The Second Deadly Sin by Åsa Larsson (GR pulls the title just in Swedish for some reason). Just brilliant stuff.
And now as idling very much, time for some old-fashioned Clive Cussler.

[Amy]

I just finished Purity of Vengeance (Jussi Adler-Olson) and am just at this moment going to start Dead I May Well Be by Adrian McKinty. This is his first novel. I've read the three in his Troubles Trilogy already and now I'm curious about his first. Love him.

[Phair]

Just finished the second Sister Conchita and Sgt. Kella mystery One Blood. set in Solomon Islands in early 1960s. This one had PT109 incident worked into the story. I really like this series for the excellent look into a different culture and a view of the latter days of colonialism

[Gerard]

Dirty SnowJust started, very dark and intense. Not at all like a Maigret story.

[Kay]

Someone mentioned the Purity of Vengeance: Excellent book in my opinion. It is the most recent offering by Jussi Adler-Olsen. The whole series is excellent.

[Ken]

Yes it is, but he has two more books ready to print. Jussi Adler-Olsen has The Alphabet House being published August 18, 2014 as a stand-alone and The Marco Effect: A Department Q Novel published on September 9, 2014.

[Nancy]

Halfway through The Good Suicides: A Thriller, by Antonio Hill, from Spain.

Every Dead Thing by John Connolly.One of the best Mystery Thriller.Much like a movie.

What a few weeks! I have been trying to catch myself up with too many books downloaded but it has been wonderful and varied! Memorable will always be two books set in America that I personally consider literature!
Where You Once Belonged, Kent Haruf. iBook. 27/6/2014. 5/5 **
Stoner, John L. Edward Williams. iBook. 8/7/2014. 5/5**
I followed these by watching two films that really left me reeling with impressions. On The Road and Of Mice and Men!
Personally feels like I have been on a marvellous holiday ......

Lighter in the UK I enjoyed and will continue with book three when it appears, The Silkworm, Robert Galbraith aka JK Rowling. iBook. 25/6/2014.. 4/5

Now starting a book JK Rowling referred to as a favourite of hers in an article by Margery Allingham, The Tiger in the Smoke 1975 .....
Anyone have comments about it? Read a bit on wiki and curious....let you know.

[Ken]

Reading the latest by Alan Furst. I like his style of writing.

[Jer]

I recently read Kathy Reichs spiderbones. Also I just finished a awesome Indie thriller called The Secret Saboteurs.. It was fantastic

Excellent advice. In trying to locate the start of the series, I unfortunately started with "Nemesis" and had a major plot point from "The Red Breast" spoiled for me. The first two in the series, "The Bat" and "Cochroaches" were finally released in the US this year, too.

[Brian]

I'm reading something really old school right now, "The Return of Dr. Fu-Manchu" by Sax Rohmer. It moves very quickly and really does transport you into its world. There's something to be said for authentic period literature.

[miteypen]

Just finished Quentin Bates' Cold Comfort, which is the second book in a series set in Iceland. I read the first and third as well and liked them a little better. Has anyone else read this author?

[miteypen]

Brian: Good to know about the Jo Nesbo releases. I've put them on hold at the library. Thanks!

The Long Way Home. 8/2014. Nr 10 Gamache pre ordered iBook √
Looking forward to spending time in fabled Three Pines in beautiful rural Quebec :-) just started today......

[Kirsten]

I've been reading and listening to on my Kindle and reading while the Kindle recharges.

[Steve]

Currently reading The Shanghai Factor by one of my favorites, Charles McCarry. A young American wanderer becomes a double agent in modern China. Works for me.

[Kirsten]

Hey @Devi - will you pick one thread? Preferably one that has something to do with self-promotion??? It's getting annoying!

Back to the actual subject of the thread:

I just finished last night. A delightful book! Best read with jazz in the background!

[Michelle]

Currently reading Rest Area by Frank Cereo. I have to say it's one of the books that makes you think about what could happen when you go into a rest area. I don't want to spoil anything but it's a page turner.

[Devi]

Currently reading "The Blue Virgin" by Marni Graff. It is the first in a series of detective books. I am still on the initial part but I am absolutely loving it :)

[Andreea]

I am currently reading the 3rd book in the Maisie Dobbs series by Jacqueline Winspear. These are relatively light mystery books with action set between the two World Wars but the plot and characters are beautifully developed. There are 10 books in total and after reading the first one I went and bought the remaining 9. I highly recommend them.

[Kirsten]

I love Maisie Dobbs, @Andreea!

I've been listening to . Today I plan on continuing and starting

[Sharon, Moderator]

Downloaded this morning, Bones Never Lie, Kathy Reichs, Temp Brennan number 17....only managed to chapter three today as a busy day. Also reading a former colleagues first book, Dealing with Conflict at Work... by Thilan Legierse.....don't work anymore but conflict is all around us! Had planned on starting The White Cottage Mystery, Margery Allingham before the Kathy Reichs landed in my in box!

[Deb]

Oh, I love Kathy Reichs' novels. Definitely tough to put down. And yes, conflict is all around us. A point I try to make to my fiction-writing students at The Writer's Center in DC. LOL!

[Lance]

Crime School: Money Laundering by Chris Mathers, a former RCMP officer. Research, not self-improvement.

[Nancy]

Spring Tide, by Cilla and Rolf Börjlind. Scandinavian crime that while good at its core, tries a little too hard.

[Kirsten]

I've been reading (Canada/Quebec) and (USA/Arizona) on my Kindle and (USA/Kentucky) from the library.

[M.H.]

Right in the middle of Wolves Eat Dogs by Martin Cruz Smith, the talented author of the famous novel-turned-movie "Gorky Park". The same Moscow inspector is still in the lead. A fine read.

[Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂]

Yay, I can contribute! By a NZ author, totally awesome start, but losing it's way a little in the middle. I'm hoping Vanda Symon will pull it all together n the end!

I'm a big Martin Cruz Smith fan. He deserves more credit.

[Kirsten]

I finished and and started and yesterday.

[Dhruv]

I just started reading Inferno by Dan Brown. Its the only book in the Robert Langdon series which I've not read yet. Hopefully it will be another thriller ride

[Vered]

I'm reading - a non-fictional account of the history of corruption in Kenya (where I live). It reads like a thriller, very entertaining and well written,

[M.H.]

Steve, I wholeheartedly agree. This is my 3rd Martin Cruz Smith novel and I've made it a mission to tell everybody how good he is. Another motion picture would help, I guess.

[Kirsten]

I started listening to (in the dentist's chair), started reading on my Kindle, and continued reading from the library yesterday.

[John]

Please add me to the list of Martin Cruz Smith fans. I think I've read all but one or two of his novels, and Wolves Eat Dogs is a great one. Does anybody out there love Havana Bay as much as I do? The beginning few pages are amazing in their detail and characterization. I'm new to this group, and I probably read more literary than mystery fiction. It is fun to hear what people are reading and why.
