And you enjoyed it Neville? If you've read all the previous ones I'd say you would have;)

Ye, I have enjoyed all of them.

Due to the weather, I can't go outside at the moment, so I've been on bit of a Lisa Gardner readathon, and I'm currently reading Live to Tell OMG, she has just gravitated to my #1 favourite author!!

She's awesome isn't she Jenni :)

Yes Brenda, I have read a lot of books, probably not as many as you, but to discover an author that keeps me on the edge of my seat with every book, I am finding it hard to deviate to another author at the moment.

She certainly does have a way with words! Have you read Tess Gerritsen? I class her up there with Lisa Gardner

I'm reading Dead Tomorrow and thoroughly enjoying it. It's official: Peter James is my new favourite male author. (Sorry, Harlan Coben.)

I still haven't read any of his - I own a couple though....

Brenda, I've only read Silent Girl so far, but I really enjoyed it, I plan on reading more though.

The Silent Girl was excellent Jenni!

Brenda,
what do you recommend I read next of Tess Gerritsen's books?

The Surgeon is the first in the Rizzoli & Isles series Jenni; you could start at the beginning if you wanted to:)

Thanks Brenda, I will :)

Mmm Vicki, might have to check him out. I've been calling Mr Coben my favourite lately!

That's good Phrynne:)

I know many rated this book 4 & 5stars, so I'm going to be the odd one out here, this is my honest opinion.

I'm looking forward to reading that one day. I have it on my bookshelf and only just noticed I haven't added it to my TBR's.

Started Gallows View by Peter Robinson

Another one I haven't read which sounds interesting Neville! Let us know what you think won't you:)

Gallows View by Peter Robinson

This is the first of currently 22 Inspector Banks novels. English set in Yorkshire.

Peeping Tom, youths committing robberies and death of an elderly woman to be solved. It was the first, so Inspector Banks, his family, and the other police were introduced and described.

I enjoyed it as I do with most of the English detectives. A quick read - about 2.5 hours - my normal daily bus and train travel time.

I will be reading his others when I fit them into my reading list.

Now reading a time travel book. Time and Again by Jack Finney

Sounds good, thanks Neville:)

I just want to say thank you to all those that recommended this book to me, I certainly wasn't disappointed!

Now reading Lost by Michael Robotham

I've only recently managed to pick up a copy of this one Neville - can't wait to read it!

I am most of the way through a good historical mystery called Heartstone by C.J. Sansom. I need to finish it so I can start my April challenges.

I'm sure it won't take you long Phrynne!

:)

Sat up late to finish Heartstone. Very glad I did. It was excellent.
