The Mystery, Crime, and Thriller Group discussion

Finished Beautiful Ugly by Alice Feeney

Last night started The Tenant by Freida McFadden

Both books are a must read.

Reversible Error by Robert Tanenbaum

Burch Karp #4. Actually ghost written by Michael Gruber. Lots of crime is getting done but the big issue here is that apparently some rogue cops are killing drug dealers for money. Also Marlene is pregnant. I like the series and this one is enjoyable with lots of action. 3 stars.

I read Finlay Donovan Is Killing It by. Elle Cosimano. It is book 1 in the series and I recommend it.
My 4 star review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I was disappointed by Our Last Resort because I loved The Quiet Tenant. My three star review:

Currently reading Rock Paper Scissors by Alice Feeny

Finished a classic mystery, Wilkie Collins' The Woman in White written in 1860. A 5-star read even though it probably could be 100 pp shorter!

Currently Reading the first book off the “Mind F#ck” series, not true crime but I was hoping for a romance crossed with crime book and that’s what I got! Loving it so far!

I finished my 37th book

Their Double Lives was a fun but forgettable mystery. My three star review:
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Now starting MOSCOW EXILE by John Lawton, the latest book in his (hopefully) ongoing series featuring ex-burglar, former smuggler, and MI-6 spy John Wilderness.

This one has strong ties with Lawton's other mystery/thriller series featuring Scotland Yard inspector Frederick Troy. There hasn't been any sign of Joe so far after 60+ pages, but I can't complain about the results.

I've just finished 'A Chosen Path'. Book 2 of the trilogy, 'The Roads Chosen'.

Wickedly good. I love the detail behind how the skulduggery is et up.

I'm starting off the week with Bait and Swiss by Korina Moss https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I read Death of an Ex by Delia C. Pitts. It is book two in the series but worked for me as a stand alone. My 4 star review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

We're reading "Summer on Blossom Street".

Cat's People by Tanya Guerrero

Charming tale. 3.5 stars

Just finished "True Hauntings" by Joseph Exton.

I'm laughing back in time with The Tale of the Tenpenny Tontine by P.J. Fitzsimmons https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I recently re-read a favourite first book in a series for a group read - it was a nice excuse to revisit Sebastian St Cyr, Viscount Devlin, in London in 1811. He's accused of murder, so while dodging the police, he puts his army intelligence experience to good use to find the villain and save himself.

Perfect blend of history and mystery.

Death of a Bookseller

I'm almost finished with "Summer on Blossom Street", and will be starting "The Thursday Murder Club".

I finished my 38th book

I love that book!

I am just about to start book #3 in Anthony Horowitz's Atticus Pund/Susan Ryeland Marble Hall Murders series. After that, it's probably going to be The Labyrinth House Murders by Yukito Ayatsuji. I also got tired of piecemeal buying one book at a time in the Slough House series, so I bit the bullet and bought them all. Now for the series to get going again ...

My review of Santa, Surf and Sapphires by Emerald Finn

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

I'm food-obsessed, I'm queer, I'm a mystery fan...Knife Skills a murder mystery about a lesbian chef who likes her job cooking for a mob boss by Wendy Church ticked all my boxes.

Sandy, your first link to the north book goes somewhere else.

78 Degrees and Bloody by George Prior is an entertaining, pacey thriller.

I read The Unraveling of Julia by Lisa Scottoline Both my wife and I like this author's books. But this one had too much astrology. My 3.5 star review. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Need a quick adrenaline hit that doesn't feel like it's making you stupid while it's entertaining you? Cold Burn by A.J. Landau did it for me.
