Storytelling at its best - a new favourite! Once Upon a River by Diane Setterfield is mysterious and magic.

I really enjoyed both of these! This clever Czech detective has an appetite and wardrobe and disregard for protocol like Mick Herron's Jackson Lamb without the farts. Loved and understood (!) the Eastern European intrigue.

Just finished Now We Are Dead by Stuart MacBride. Logan McRae makes brief appearances by phone, text and once in person, but this 10.5 in the series is predominantly about Roberta.

At one point, I nearly gave up on this series because for 2 or 3 books in a row, it was too grim, too dark, too gory. But then the series lightened up a bit - the crimes are still grim and dark, but dialled back on the gore, and ramped up on the dark humour. But with this book, the humour at times went to broad farce - a little too much so for me. But overall, I still enjoyed it, and gave
★★★★ (although I nearly rounded down half a star...)

I've quit this series for the same reason Kerri. Not sure if I'll continue - I own quite a few though...

I just looked back Brenda and saw that 4,5,6 were the ones that nearly made me give up - lightens up a bit after that, so maybe give those ones a miss!

I loved #1 - gave it 5 stars. Gave #2 and #3 only 3 stars and couldn't bring myself to read more. I own up to and including #9!! Thanks - I'll take your advice and read another further along the list :)

Finished my True Crime Selection for the Summer Challenge, Gun Alley by Aussie Author Kevin Morgan, a horrifying tale of a botched police investigation and trial by media in 1922 Melbourne, leading to the hanging of an innocent man.

That sounds good Carolyn!!

[Carolyn]

Actually, it could probably have been better organised and written a bit more concisely, but was a fascinating story.

[Brenda, Suspense lover!]

Ahh that's a shame. But glad you enjoyed it all the same :)

Just finished Dark in Death by J.D. Robb which I managed to squeeze into 6 different challenges! #46 in the series - a bit quieter perhaps than some of the others in terms of action, but a good weekends reading for me.

★★★★
