Going to start Stalking the Angel by Robert Crais now.

Liked Brenda's review so much that I have picked up Back Of Beyond. Liking it a lot so far! Haven't read any of this author's books before.

Currently reading which is nothing like I was expecting. A little bit of murder and mystery in it too :)

To Tfitoby You were asking about the Library of Crime books They were a subscription series back in the 1970s where you received one a fortnight A good way to read a variety of different authors I still have my books Unfortunately I am a book hoarder and can't get rid of any that I have enjoyed Ran out of room on my shelves ages ago

I have bought a heap of book of Stephan Leather's and have just started "The China Man" just finished "Tango One" bit of a strange ending, the bad men win, but with drugs I guess this is what does happen.
