A Good Thriller discussion

What is Netgalley, just read review on Hades

Looks great

The mailman brought "The Murder Code" by Steve Mosby.
It looks sooooo good.

Deborah, Google Netgalley. It will bring up the site and explain everything, pretty straightforward and easy to follow. Any questions, just ask.

Hope you enjoy it, T. A favourite author of mine and Dawn's.

Thanks Janet I'll have a look. Just checked Amazon and can't get either of the candice fox novels, must be waiting to go into print

That's what Netgalley is Deborah, Advanced Reader Copies that you get from publishers if you've been approved. Well worth checking out. You can always PM me if you wish. :))

That sounds great. I'm currently looking into a proof reading and copy editing course in England.

Our library (and we are small town NZ) system tells you if you go to check out a book and you have already read it. (A bit like Amazon with Kindle). But I am great at buying more then one copy of a book from the charity shops - so often I get home and oops - I already have that! 8:D

Deborah, if you get the chance watch Secrets and Lies - I watched the final episode last night. It is an Australian series, and I have really enjoyed all of it, but the finale was just mind-blowing! 8:D

Thanks Sandra, always looking for recommendations

Will be receiving , tomorrow.

Perri:

I have been doing this for a few years now. Once I set up the spread sheet, it was really quite easy to maintain.

Perri:

I have been keeping the list for about eight years now or more, I believe. Once you set up the spreadsheet, it is easy to maintain. The main sort is author, which is in column 2 with column 1 being the title. Then I use a color fill rotation for columns 1 and 2 and try to keep it sort of alphabetical and by genre. Then scrolling the list becomes easy.

Best,
Cam

Paul - I have read all the Rostnikov books by Stuart Kaminsky and plan to re-read them. I love that series.

Kirsten - wow, that's alot of books. Makes me feel better when I binge shop. Enjoy!

I got Hades and The Great Zoo of China from Netgalley.

That's good to hear Pat. I bought them on impulse really. Just read several reviews on each of them & thought they seemed sufficiently intriguing to investigate further. It's always good to have plenty of options. I should add, I've not read anything by Kaminsky before, though I've read almost all of James Ellroy's books.

Laima - all those titles look to be good books. When you finish, feel welcome to post a review. I know I love to see what others think before I buy.

Totally agree.

Dying to Get Published

I had free from Book Bub on my kindle.

Not heard of her before.

Picked these up today: & .

Detour by Martin M. Goldsmith was written in 1939 & made into a short (apparently quite famous) Noir movie in 1945.

"The book, subtitled An Extraordinary Tale, was published by the Macaulay Company. Its plot is similar to the movie to which it was later adapted, except that the main character's name was changed from "Alexander Roth" to "Al Roberts," and erotic passages were removed.
The novel ends with much the same fatalistic line used in the movie: "God or Fate or some mysterious force can put the finger on you or on me for no good reason at all." In the film version of the novel, the reference to God is removed.
The film Detour has achieved considerable acclaim as a defining movie of the film noir era, despite its low budget. However, the novel, long out of print, did not have the same fate."

The movie is available for viewing on You Tube, as it was released into the 'public arena'.
