Neville | 84 comments Finished the 6th in the DD Warren series Catch Me Catch Me (Detective D.D. Warren, #6) by Lisa Gardner by Lisa Gardner

Great writing and gripping story as usual by this author.
Almost read it in 1 sitting, but I had to get some sleep.

Rated it 5 stars.

2 more in the DD Warren series, then the 2nd and 3rd of the Tessa Leonie series.

Coming in February, it's #7 in Quincy & Rainey Right Behind You There's another DD Warren which was released January this year I haven't read. It's a small novella #7.5 Three Truths and a Lie - but I haven't heard of another full length DD Warren after #8 :)


message 2505: by Neville (new)

Neville | 84 comments Thanks Brenda, I have the first 6 in Quincy & Rainey, but haven't read any yet. I'll finish DD Warren and Tessa Leonie series first.

Set in the beautiful country town of Mullumbimby.

Neville | 84 comments Finished no. 7 in the Inspector Sejer series The Water's Edge The Water's Edge (Inspector Konrad Sejer, #8) by Karin Fossum by Karin Fossum

Rated it 5 stars. A good read, the detectives work a lot more of the plot in this book than the earlier ones.

PattyMacDotComma | 818 comments The Lake House by Aussie author Kate Morton is another of her very long, multi-generational family stories full of mysterious disappearances, possible crimes, and colourful characters.

4★ It is long, but true to Morton form, and I enjoyed it (but admit to some impatience).

Neville | 84 comments Finished the 23rd in the Inspector Banks series When the Music's Over When the Music's Over (Inspector Banks #23) by Peter Robinson by Peter Robinson

Another 5 star rating for this series - loved them all - I see number 24 "Sleeping in the Ground" will be released some time in 2017.

Now on to the 8th in the DD Warren series by Lisa Gardner Find Her (Detective D.D. Warren, #8) by Lisa Gardner .

PattyMacDotComma | 818 comments 3.5★ for Friday Brown by Aussie author Vikki Wakefield, who's painted a scary picture of life on the streets when a teen is at loose ends.

It's a YA for older kids, since there is death and conflict.

It was more suspense/thriller than mystery, I think, although I shelve them together.

by Karen M. Davis

Plot twists all telegraphed well in advance, but an ok pass the time read.

Christine | 4 comments I have just finished Daisy in Chains by Sharon Bolton by Sharon Bolton and I have to say it is one of the best books I have read this year! It was also my 50th book for 2016 which completes my reading challenge for 2016.

Congratulations Christine! And what a great book to finish on :)


message 2541: by Noelene (new)

Noelene | 18 comments Currently reading The Tourist, a book I won through Goodreads. Had mixed reviews. Most saying it was confusing, so I deliberately slowed down my reading style and it reads much better than the one or two star ratings suggest. It is a combination of genres, set in the past, future and their present and combination of cultures could be confusing if you rush.

Jai Baidell Just finished a short free novella from Australian author Sulari Gentill, author of the Rowland Sinclair mystery series set in the 1930s. I love all the books in this series, and this short piece, "The Prodigal Son", is a sweet introduction. As a special treat it includes beautiful artwork by this talented author. You can download the PDF from here: http://www.rowlandsinclairnovella.com

Neville | 84 comments Just finished the 7th in the D.D. Warren series Fear Nothing Fear Nothing (Detective D.D. Warren, #7) by Lisa Gardner by Lisa Gardner

WOW - Gave it 5 stars - Medical conditions I did not know existed.

Loving this author and this series, at this stage only 1 more - still have 2 of the Tessa Leonie series, then the FBI profiler series.

Keep me occupied for a while.

by Harlan Coben

This is the first Bolitar book I have read for quite a few years. It is written from the pov of sidekick Win. Enjoyed it. 4*

PattyMacDotComma | 818 comments 3.5★ for L.J. Ross's fourth book in the series Angel: A DCI Ryan Mystery.

Bodies of red-heads appear in graveyards, but somebody has sneaked them in, and nobody knows why or how. And one of our favourite coppers is a lovely redhead!

Noelene | 18 comments Now finished reading The Tourist. It failed badly at the end. I was intrigued at first but the last part was so disappointing I ended up giving it a 1 star rating.
