The Mystery, Crime, and Thriller Group discussion

I am reading the great believers by Rebecca Makkai.... and wow just intense

This Body of Death by Elizabeth George

In this 16th book in the 'Inspector Lynley' series, Scotland Yard investigates two crimes: the murder of a toddler by three juvenile delinquents who are soon caught and the murder of a young woman in a London cemetery by an unknown assailant. The book can be read as a standalone but knowledge of the characters is a plus.

Very good mystery. 4 stars

My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I'm currently reading: "Spouse on Haunted Hill" by E. J. Copperman. Not bad. A good comedy.

Reading Agatha Christie’s “Poirot Investigates” short stories. Reading my way through the series.

@Araych Crumley is very good and so is The Last Good Kiss, his drinking would get the better of him. His plots would suffer but his prose will always remain top notch. I will also suggest The Wrong Case, as good maybe even a bit better than The Last Good Kiss.

I am starting The Last Time I Lied
I like this author...I hope it's good.
Has anyone read this book?

I finished the 5th Wesley Peterson mystery, The Bone Garden by Kate Ellis. My review is below -

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Institute

It is lovely Nancy and yeah Nancy I can’t believe I have thirteen more books to go and aww thanks Nancy and Bill I think you meant way to go lol and Lu I have that book called The Flight Attendant by Chris Bohjalian and Catia I have that book called Lock Every Door by Riley Sager and Angie I read that book called Dear Wife by Kimberly Belle

I've just read the third installment in the Mycroft and Sherlock series by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Anna Waterhouse, Mycroft and Sherlock: The Empty Birdcage. It is a good story with two mysteries at its heart; not quite the intensity of the first two books in the series, but definitely worth reading.

I'm currently reading The Billion Pound Lie

which is rather entertaining.
The reason I choose this book from my TBR shelf is that I finished Bloodman by Robert Pobi this weekend...

... and I'm still trying to muster the courage to write a review for this book.
It did not give me nightmares as such, but I cannot get it out of my head.
I hope to be able to write my review soon.

Finished The Family Upstairs Lisa Jewell

Stop the Presses! by Robert Goldsborough

A continuation of Rex Stout's 'Nero Wolfe' mysteries by a new author.

It's set in the 1970s, and Cameron Clay - who writes the "Stop the Presses" gossip column for the New York Gazette - has been getting death threats. He goes to eccentric private detective Nero Wolfe for help.

Amusing mystery. 3 stars

Hey, thanks.

Bad Debts by Peter Temple

This is an absolutely dynamite mystery but it's not written in American English, it's written in Australian English. I loved the plot, I loved the characters, I loved Temple's style. I just had a lot of trouble understanding who was doing what to who.

finished Kill Your Neighbor

half way through The Flight Attendant
also started book number 1 Odd Thomas from the series

finished The Flight Attendant
rating: 3.5/5
i would have given it 5 stars but it was poorly edited and annoying phrases kept repeating over and over and almost made me stop reading but it is also a good story, putting aside the bad editing

I do too, Mary. I haven't tried any of his other books or series yet - have you?

Just finished:
And Only To Deceive by Tasha Alexander
Rumpole Misbehaves by John Mortimer

Currently reading: Homicide in Hardcover by Kate Carlisle

About to start The World That We Knew by Alice Hoffman after finishing a very emotional 5 star read of No Time to Say Goodbye: A heartbreaking and gripping emotional page turner by Kate Hewitt. My spoiler free review can be found at https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... and my webpage https://sandysbookaday.wordpress.com/...

I just started Hard Mouth by Amanda Goldblatt.

The book begins with Denny’s father trying to teach her about empathy. He takes her to a house he’s trying to sell, has her lay in a young girl’s bed, and through speech, tries to get her to submerge herself into the little girl’s life. The idea was for her to feel what it was like to see things through someone else’s eyes. She goes home with her dad, but continues to see things through this young girl’s eyes. As she grows up, she thinks this is when she started not feeling.

This is a very different book. Enjoying this debut novel.

Tahoe Deathfall by Todd Borg

Private detective from Lake Tahoe is hired by 14-year-old heiress to investigate death of her sister. Just a personal reaction but Borg never got me to believe the truth of the characters or half the plot.

Starting to re-read Tanenbaum from years past

finished Odd Thomas
