3★ for the quite real story of sex-trafficking, The Black Lens by former reporter Christopher Stollar, who spent three years researching this. He's also donating 10% of earnings from this to fighting the dreadful business.Believable scenarios (all of them bad).

I've just finished and thoroughly enjoyed Hindsight by Melanie Casey. Melanie is Australian and Hindsight is the first in a series of books about Cass who has a unique psychic gift that could help police solve a string of murders.Here's my 4* review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
A 3 star read from an author I've not read before. Broken Silence by Danielle Ramsay. My review is here:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Brenda wrote: "Hindsight isn't one I've read yet Mark, but I know a lot who have, and enjoyed it as well :)"I'd like to read the rest of the series too but the prices of books 2 and 3 are much more expensive then Hindsight is!
Often the way :( I usually try my library when the kindle is too expensive :) Do you have one nearby?
Finished The Dry by Jane Harper late last night! Brilliant! 5★s

Hi :) I'm new here and I didn't know where to post this but would anyone like to read these books with me?
We don't have an actual thread for Buddy Reads in this group Tanya so here is as good a place as any to ask!
Tanya we have our monthly reads which are firstly nominated, then voted in our polls :)
You may find someone who'd like to join you with these, but feel free to vote on our current polls for our September read!
And it's great to have you with us!

Just finished
by Robert Bryndza and thoroughly enjoyed the second book featuring DCI Erika Foster. If you are after a fast paced action thriller with a strong female lead, this book will tick all the boxes. Hoping it's not too long await for the next book.

Lost Dog by Alan Russell 3★

Fans of Janet Evanovich might like this first in a new series co-written with Phoef Sutton (producer/writer of Cheers) - Curious Minds 4★review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I see mixed reviews for this mystery. All Is Not Forgotten by Wendy Walker.
Mine is one of the lower-ranked ones. I did round up on the stars, though.
2.5★ Sadly not one of my better choices. Wasn't what I was looking forward to.
My review is not very flattering, I know.

Finished first Will Trent novel Triptych
by Slaughter, KarinA bit violent and gruesome, gave it 4 stars.
Just got the 8th one in this series - assuming I am going to read them all at this stage.
I will definitely go for them all then.I have my "structured" routine where I have 5 murder/mystery/crime/suspense series and 1 of other genres and read one of each so I cycle around the 6 authors/series. I find this means I don't get bored with any long series.
Since joining the group I have added a few more to my want list and I now have over 2000 books on my "to read" list.
Wonder if I will get to read them all - currently reading 120 books a year, but now that I am retired I can read more. Have read 80 for the year so far in the Goodreads yearly challenge.
Oh well done! That's great :) I vary mine too - I don't understand my husband who reads the same author one book after the other until he's finished the series, then goes onto another! I need the variety of genres to break them up I think :)
I can do it either way. If the series is really good I just hoe into it! I remember when I discovered Terry Pratchett I just read his books straight through.
Organ donation, organ memory, flashbacks to the donor's murder? Can it happen? A Secondhand Life by Pamela Crane says YES.3.5★ for a mystery based on an idea that's gaining some interest in medical (and certainly thriller-writer) circles!
