I hope you enjoy it when it comes Geoff! I'm sure you will!

Currently reading Dark Places by Gillian Flynn and not dissapointed the same as then reading Gone Girl

Also just finished yesterday listen to City of Masks by Daniel Hecht - it was something new for me because I'm not reading a lot about gost hunting, it was very interesting
Also starting Red Mist by Patricia Cornwell - series about medical examiner - Kay Scarpetta, I read about 1/3 of all series

I haven't read anything by John Connelly Geoff...

Oooh!! Doh!! Sorry about that...I still haven't read any ConnOlly either;)

I finished Blood Harvest by S.J. Bolton Exceptional!

Sorry you were disappointed Geoff...Harlan Coben is a great author too:)

Hi Elaine, you need to post this in the author section please... http://www.goodreads.com/topic/group_...

Make your own thread, where you can promote your books when you want. Thanks:)

I have enjoyed those Geoff:)

Sounds good Geoff...

I'm reading Outback Fear by Aussie author Suzanne Brandyn and really enjoying it.

Wow i thought you had gone off Miss Clark Brenda?"

I did for awhile Michael, then when this one came out, I thought I'd borrow it from the library. It was great...back to her old form:)

You would definitely enjoy it Michael :)

I gave Seconds Away 5 stars Geoff.

I haven't discovered Mary Higgins Clark, Brenda. Which one would you recommend I should read first??

On another note, loved Bronwyn Parry's Dead Heat. It's a gripping suspense set in the Australian outback plus a believable but powerful love story. It's just been shortlisted for the Daphne du Maurier award and also for the RITA award in the USA. She's one of my favourite authors.

Helene, I can't wait for Darkening Skies, and I'm hoping I'll be able to go to Bronwyn's release, somewhere near here!

With Mary HC, she has SO many, and I enjoyed her until a couple of years ago, when they seemed to become predictable. When this one came out, I decided to try it from the library, and really enjoyed it. So perhaps you could read her new one, Daddy's Gone A Hunting.

I'll Walk Alone
Just Take My Heart are two I gave 5 stars to, the others I've read I gave 4 to. But don't read anything which is written with her daughter, Carol HC, they aren't very good IMO:)

Good luck, I hope you enjoy her...

Thanks, Brenda, I've added myself to the lengthy library queue for now for Daddy's Gone A Hunting :)

Good luck:) I have a LOT of her books here which you could pick a few from, but you wouldn't have room on Rooby;)

Thanks, Michael, I'll choose carefully then.

Brenda, you're sadly correct - it's ebooks or library books for me now... The upside is a beautiful vista!

Thank goodness for the kindle I guess! Your circumstance (and others like you) makes it much easier to read your favourite books, except for that wonderful feel of a paper book in our hands:)

I have just finished Aussie author Greg Barron's new release, Savage Tide. An absolute 5★ read!

Review to follow

I've got Fetish at home. Was it any good?

It wasn't too bad, pretty predictable and cliché which I'm always annoyed by.

Cheers. I'll read it eventually but I won't make it a priority then.

I really enjoyed Fetish..I read it back in 2006 and it was the beginning of the series for me. I was sad when she published the last one in that series earlier this year:(

Not a crime book but I'm listening to Never Let Me Go audio.

I'm currently reading Delusion in Death by J.D. Robb Excellent as usual:)

I'm reading a debut from an Aussie author at the moment Blood Witness by Alex Hammond. I'm about half way through and it's good so far.

Geoff wrote: "Off-genre again. Finished Fraud by Anita Brookner. An excellent writer. 4.5 stars."

Sounds interesting Geoff, I have added it to my tbr list. I have just started Requiem for a Dream by Hubert Selby Jr.

Currently reading Stolen by Tess Gerritsen

Just started Blood Harvest by S.J. Bolton

That one is excellent Michele!

And so is that one Geoff:)

:)

Geoff wrote: "Currently reading Call After Midnight by Tess Gerritsen."

I really enjoyed this one Geoff.

I'm interested in your opinion when you finish that one Geoff:)

I just started Red Bones by Ann Cleeves, which is the third in the series

I'm a crime (fiction and non-fiction) fan and rarely venture from the crime genre.

I'm currently reading Lethal:



Sandra Brown rarely disappoints.

off genre again but I'm currently listening to Khaled Hosseini's A Thousand Splendid Suns

Geoff wrote: "Finished The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith. Excellent read. Cormoran Strike is going to be one of the great fictional PIs. 4.5 stars."

That's good news Geoff, I might have to add it to my TBR!
