Mystery/Thriller Reading Friends discussion

I read seven books in June, higher count than usual lately. A week of vacation certainly helped the count, and the heat was a factor too!
Holly Blues
Shiver
Saving Ceecee Honeycutt
The God of the Hive
Burning Lamp
Shoot to Thrill
Caught

Albert, Susan Wittig Holly Blues finished 6/2/2010 Library 9 of 10 Christmas with McQuaid's ex

Stiefvater, Maggie Shiver finished 6/9/2010 9 of 10 sweet, almost magical love story

Hoffman, Beth Saving CeeCee Honeycutt finished 6/11/2010 Audio 9+ of 10 Heart breaking at times, yet uplifting, this is a very special book; the narration of the audio performed with such well done southern voices added to the enjoyment.

King, Laurie R. The God of the Hive finished 6/20/2010 Library audio download 9+ of 10 The focus on Russell and her encounters with the Green Man and Holmes' new family members was enlightening and suspenseful.

Quick, Amanda Burning Lamp finished 6/22/2010 Library 8+ of 10 Arcane Society Historical

Tracy, P J Shoot to Thrill finished 6/28/2010 Library 9+ of 10 great to connect with the Monkeewrench gang again and hard to put down!

Coben, Harlan Caught finished 6/29/2010 Audio 9 of 10 intricately plotted, hard to put down - and ultimately a thought provoking glimpse at situations that no one wants to face.

Ann, so glad you loved CeeCee. One of my all time favorites!! I read it on my Kindle, but would love to try the audio version. A definite reread!

Glad you liked HOLLY BLUES & SHIVER, Ann. I've put SHOOT TO THRILL on my TBR list.

Just got Shiver, loved Shoot to Thrill and really liked HC's CAUGHT. Very powerful and thought provoking with some big shockers. Great month Ann

You've got three that I definitely have to read!

Liz:
It was great! I hope you like it. One of the female characters voices sounded a lot like Dolly Parton which was a tiny little jar to my reading as I listened, but I really enjoyed the voices in Saving Ceecee Honeycutt.

Seems like you had a great month, Ann. CeeCee is on my list, but I'm not sure when I'll get to it. Always, too many books........

Marcy, try and make time for CeeCee it is a quick read but very sweet!! You won't regret it!

Thanks Liz. I think you and Ann have me convinced.

I don't know....It's getting really far out to me...I didn't quite "get" the whole green man thing...I want to read more about Sherlock and Mary and less about all that other stuff.

Cathy:
Several people on Laurie R King's Virtual Book Club agree with you, though I found the last two books fascinating. They are different from some of the earlier more duo oriented books, but I enjoyed reading about Mary's independent activities and (liking a little woo woo in my books) was intrigued by the Green man. The discussion thread here on God of the Hive was very interesting to me.
