Love to when I get the chance Phrynne! Have ordered the next three books from BD so I expect there could be another binge sometime soon!

Carolyn | 2090 comments I enjoyed Cast Iron by Peter May 4★, the sixth book in his Enzo series but didn't love it as much as his Lewis trilogy. This could be because I haven't read the rest of the series although I thought it read fine as a stand alone novel.

Sara | 5 comments Hello everyone, I just joined this group! Lovely to meet you all. My name is Sara and I am so pleased I joined this group! :)

I just finished A Swift Pure Cry by Siobhan Dowd. A very emotional ride. I've also read some Agatha Cristie graphic novels that were so addictive and full of suspense and drama and of course murder & crime. Currently, I am reading The Indigo Spell by Richelle Mead, the #3 book in the Bloodlines series.

Neville | 84 comments Finished the 3rd in the Tessa Leonie series Crash & Burn Crash & Burn (Tessa Leoni, #3) by Lisa Gardner by Lisa Gardner

Hello Sara. Good to have you with us!
I am amazed that they have made Agatha Christie into graphic novels:) I will have to have a look at that!

Kerri_M | 785 comments Just finished Everything You Told Me by Lucy Dawson

Everything You Told Me by Lucy Dawson

This was an impulse audiobook dowload from Borrow Box when I was out one day, waiting for someone and had finished the book I had with me. Didn't know anything about it and had no expectations.

2.5* - I could see the ending way in advance, so I don't know how the main character didnt work it out!


message 2728: by Carolyn (new)

Carolyn | 2090 comments I think some readers of thrillers will enjoy the SciFi thriller Dark Matter by Blake Crouch 5★, the story of a man who wakes up in a different world and will do anything to get back to the woman and son he loves.

I read Pines by this author and wasn't overly impressed. However I obviously have to give him a second chance:)


message 2733: by PattyMacDotComma (new)

PattyMacDotComma | 818 comments Author David Baldacci is such a popular writer that I decided to try one of his books - perhaps I chose the wrong one.

Memory Man disappointed me so much that I gave it only a couple of stars.

But I have a question for other people who have read it. My review and the question

I haven't read Pines so can't say whether Dark Matter is better or not. It may just be that you don't like his writing style.

Neville | 84 comments Finished the 6th in the Cooper & Fry series The Dead Place The Dead Place (Ben Cooper & Diane Fry, #6) by Stephen Booth by Stephen Booth

Got a bit lost and thought it was a bit too long so only 3★s

Will try the next one and see if it grabs me.

Neville | 84 comments Finished the 11th in the Inspector Sejer series The Drowned Boy The Drowned Boy (Inspector Konrad Sejer, #11) by Karin Fossum by Karin Fossum.

A quick read - 182 pages according to my Kindle.

5★s - A vain young woman has a son born with down syndrome but he is found dead in a pond very close to their house - he is 16 months old.
The inspector never believes the stories the mother relates.

The Last Thing I Remember The Last Thing I Remember by Deborah Bee by Deborah Bee

Told from 2 different POV - a coma patient and her 13 yo neighbour and friend. I really enjoyed this one.

4 ★


message 2743: by PattyMacDotComma (new)

PattyMacDotComma | 818 comments The Conjoined: A Novel by Jen Sookfong Lee is ostensibly about 2 bodies found in the freezers of a foster mother, but it's more about frustrated people and family dynamics with a lot of social justice messaging.
