I am currently reading The Rhyme's Library by Kristy Tate which I got got as a freebie from Amazon. It is a little bit too cozy for me. I think Sally would like it more.

I just finished The Rhyme's Library. If you like cozy mysteries you will enjoy this.

Vicki Tyley (vickityley) | 280 comments I'm about to start The Hunter's Prey, a true crime book by Australian lawyer and author Marie E Gorman. From the blurb:

"The Hunter's Prey is a True Crime book featuring true stories of women who met violent deaths at the hands of a male. These men managed to blend into society making it impossible for the victims to predict how violent and dangerous they could be. Some of the women in this book encountered everyday violence while others experienced crimes that were so extraordinary and random that they are almost inconceivable. By reading their stories, it forces us to become more aware of our surroundings and we may have second thoughts about doing things that we once believed posed no risk at all."

The Hunter's Prey

Marie E Gorman is also the owner of the Chilling Crimes website.

Kaden Buckner | 1 comments I just started Jeremiah's Codes and so far its brilliant. I'd read some good reviews about this book and yes I am agreeing so far. The building storyline has me intrigued and its difficult to put it down and I'm only 20 chapters into it.

Sounds good Kaden...

I own Cold Heart Peter, but haven't read it yet...I've had it here for ages! Would you recommend I bump it up my TBR?
Haven't read The Redeemer which is coming up as Jo Nesbø Collection: The Leopard, the Redeemer, the Snowman, the Devils Star when I try to find it!!


message 965: by Peter (new)

Peter Stankovic | 109 comments Yes Brenda, definitely worth reading.

I am currently reading NOS4R2 by Joe Hill. I guess it is best described as a supernatural thriller. (very like Dean Koontz). It's good.

I'm loving The Burning Room by Michael Connelly at the moment :)

Sally906 I have finally started After the Armistice Ball by Catriona McPherson not very far into it.

I started Cold Granite last night even though I had not yet finished another book because I needed to read in the dark and it was on my ipad. Ebooks do have some advantages over real ones:)

I finished NOS4A2 and it was so good!

I haven't read a crime/ mystery/thriller/suspense book for ages but I have about six coming up!

Sally906 I have a couple scheduled to read soon - probably be December as I have a few ARCs to get out of the way - and none of them are mysteries :)
