Finished reading Beautiful Malice by Rebecca James 5★My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Mod
Recently finished 'Bombproof' by Michael Robotham. Great fun. Started 'The Street Lawyer' by John Grisham which is ok but not as fast paced.
Mod
The first Michael Robotham novel I read was 'Wreckage' which I thoroughly enjoyed.
I'm reading Book 2 in the Martin Beck series by Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö - pioneers of late 20th century crime fiction.
Is Martin Beck a policeman? I've started 'Dead Man's Grip' by Peter James which features Roy Grace, a cop who appears in the 'Dead..." series.

Finished reading The Man Who Went Up In Smoke by Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö - top stuff. Second in the Martin Beck series.
Half way through Dead Man's Grip. Quite gripping.

I’m reading The Fire Engine That Disappeared, one of the Martin Beck procedurals from Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö. I’m amazed at how these two manage to combine tension, mystery and humour. The dynamics between the police team are fun to watch.
Mod
Their titles are interesting David;)
Yes - and they always turn out to be totally appropriate! I think the titles are little in-jokes that Maj and Per had between them - they were a couple who wrote at the kitchen table after putting the kids to bed each night.
Mod
It sounds good, Brenda. Have you read the other ones in the series?
Mod
That's good and would you say this series is as good as her other series (Detective D.D Warren)?
Mod
Initially (the first couple) not quite as good (but still really good!), but now, most definitely! I've just found her list of books and am saving the list so I can work out which ones I own...

Thanks for the link I found it quite interesting and now I really want to start reading them :)
Mod
Okay I will and if I start very soon I might catch up in time to read Gone for this groups quarterly read :)
Just read your review for The Perfect Husband which sounds really good, so I've ordered it from the library.
Mod
Oh goodie can't wait to start it now :)
How do you find time to do all this reading Brenda?!I'm envious.
Mod
I'm envious."
I'm fortunate to be a very fast reader David, that's pretty much it I guess:)
Finished reading : No Safe Place by Jenny Spence 4★My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Great review, Sharon. Thank goodness, it's already on my to-read list... :)
The book sounds good, Sharon. I'm also currently reading an Aussie author - Peter Corris. Novel is 'Torn Apart'.
