The Mystery, Crime, and Thriller Group discussion

Suzy will be on hand as you read Sebastien Japrisot's A Very Long Engagement. Happy reading, and please note that there's a spoiler thread for this book as well.

Thanks for kicking off the discussion, Nancy. I'm curious to see how many will be reading this, yet another mystery that is not of the typical kind we might expect. I'm about 100pp in and liking it a lot.

You are very, very welcome, Suzy!!

Looking fwd to reading this one

Listening to an audiobook version. It is good.

I love Sebastian Japrisot. This is the only one of his I haven’t read. I might have to put my order in.

I wanted to do the audio, but I'm listening to another book that's quite long. Glad it's good, though! I imagine not easy to keep track of the characters, which I'm finding difficult even in the print book. :)

It is difficult to track characters!

This is has been on my TBR for years, I'll definitely be joining.

I'm really enjoying this book, although had a hard time staying engaged with the print book. I've switched over to audio with the print book handy for reference. Flowing much better for me, "the world's slowest reader". :)

Have any of you seen the movie? It was very well reviewed at the time. I plan to get the dvd from the library when I'm finished with the book. Here's a review from The Guardian, warning it contains spoilers. https://www.theguardian.com/theobserv...

I want to see the movie, too. My library does have it!

I plan to get the movie this week and will loop back once I've seen it. My friend who recommended this book said the movie is very well-done.
