Just finished James Patterson's, The Family Lawyer. Nice work that appears done by Jim himself rather than outsourcing to another writer of lesser experience in the genre. I'd recommend.

Reading Book 4 in Val McDermid’s Hill/Jordan series set in Bradfield, England...

Read and enjoyed debut mystery The Ruin by Irish (now Aussie) author Dervla McTiernan. Cold, wet, mysterious Galway, Ireland. It's Cormac Reilly #1, so more are coming!

My review of


Marlborough Man by Alan Carter - 2 ★
Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Thanks to the Focus on Agatha Christie discussion for this one.

In her first-ever book, published almost a century ago, Agatha Christie introduced one of the world's best-loved characters, the inimitable M. Hercule Poirot with his very active 'little grey cells'.

The Mysterious Affair at Styles is the first of the many classic "it must be one of us" Christie mysteries.

I have really enjoyed reading The Dark Angel by Elly Griffiths. This is number 10 in the Dr Ruth Galloway series. I have read them all and can't wait for the next one.

My Review


I am reading by B.A. Paris

Currently reading “Woman in Cabin 10”, by Ruth Ware with my neighborhood book club members. We just finished up reading “Memoirs of a Geisha”, by Arthur Golden and I was lagging on the previous month’s book “America’s First Daughter”, so finally finished it this week. That was my favorite book in a while! Highly recommend it.
Lastly, I’m also listening to “The Passage” by Justin Cronin on my daily commutes into the city via Audible.

Finished The Secret Place by Tana French. The mystery is one of the better ones in the series but it is too long and there is an inexplicable paranormal slant to the narrative that does not work. Rating - 3/5

It was long and too many local colloquialisms between the female students.

I agree it was too long and the teenage speak could have been less pronounced.

Just started The Good Samaritan by John Marrs after finishing The Perfect Mother by Aimee Molloy. My spoiler free review can be found at https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I've been listening to The Iliad: by Homer, narrated by Alfred Molina

byRadha Vatsal

I agree the paranormal event in THE SECRET PLACE was awful. Happily, she followed it up with THE TRESPASSER which is probably her best book.

I hate magical realism in gritty crime, they never seem to mesh well together. Unless the supernatural elements are introduced in detail and the book is marketed as such, sudden diversions into paranormal in the middle of a series leave me irritated. Looking forward to The Trespasser, heard nice things about it.

Finished reading by B.A. Paris

My Review

I am reading by Louis L'Amour

The night shift

Finished A Stab in the Dark by Lawrence Block. Fun, quality read. Recommended to all crime/mystery lovers. Does not matter whether you love hardboiled noirs or old fashioned whodunnits, there is something here for every fan of the genre. Rating - 4/5.

I just started reading The Bad Daughter by Joy Fielding and I've been listening to Outlander by Diana Gabaldon

My book club is reading I posted a review ongoodreads 11/2017. Liked it!

Just about to start Cassandra's Secret: Sometimes the only way to move forward is to go back... by Frances Garrood after reading The Good Samaritan by John Marrs, which failed to live up to my expectations. My spoiler free review can be found at https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I finished reading the most recent installment of the DI Kim Stone series by Angela Marsons: Dying Truth .
Here is my review:
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

just joined this group, and there looks to be quite a few books that will end up on my TBR list now that I glanced through some of the posts! Thought I would post the last couple mystery/thriller type books that I have read recently:

Eeny Meeny
I really liked this one. It was a bit of a different idea than some of the other thrillers out there and had the right amount of twists and turns. It didn't give a lot of character background, but I didn't mind that - kept me focused on what was happening.

The Red Hunter
This book was pretty good. It flashed between a couple main characters, but wasn't confusing. I thought it had a few good twists.

Into the Black Nowhere
I can't say enough good things about this UNSUB series! This one ends off on a mega cliffhanger which absolutely KILLS me (I'm rather impatient!). If you read UNSUB, you will enjoy this one as well!

I am just picking up Harry Potter & the Philosopher's Stone, which doesn't fit into this group!

If you've read any of these ones that I have recently finished, I'd love to hear your thoughts! I've read 34 books so far this year and most of them were great. Love to hear any recommendations and thoughts you have!

I've been listening to Winter Kept Us Warm by Anne Raeff
