I will Brenda :) Although from some of the reviews it's not as good as her other two.

I did read some of those Sharon..hope they are wrong!

Yes me too.

I really enjoy Karin Slaughter Geoff:)

Geoff wrote: "Currently reading Roadside Crosses by Jeffery Deaver."

Another one I loved Geoff! We read a lot of similar books:)

Just finished Always Watching by Chevy Stevens

I did enjoy this book. Although I feel it was missing something half way through it. Then towards the end it picked up and and I just wanted to know how it was going to end.

Glad you enjoyed it Sharon:) Interesting what you say about it going "flat" in the middle though...

Thanks Brenda.
I'll have to try her other one Still Missing I hear its quite a good one :)

I loved that one Sharon! But you will have to read Never Knowing by her too... it was amazing!

EDIT:
My review for this one: http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

My review for Still Missing http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Thanks for that Brenda. I've read Never Knowing but I'm looking forward to Still Missing
Not sure when I'll get to it though :)

I've just finished Lethal -- a fast-paced 5-star read.

Now reading Thirst, the debut novel from Aussie writer L A Larkin, a book I've heard only good things about.

I've had Thirst on my TBR for a long time now Vicki....I must get to it soon!

And Lethal for even longer!!!

I have just finished Deadly Tide by Aussie author Sandy Curtis

I enjoyed that book as well Vicki :)

I have just finished
Defending Jacob by William Landay which was ok - a bit drawn out, but the twist at the end was good.

I am just about to start Rip Tide by Stella Rimington, which is the 6th book in the series, I have enjoyed the others, whilst not mind blowing they are a good quick read.

I'm just about to start Touch & Go and about 20 pages in of The Postman Always Rings Twice

Mish, do you read two books at the same time?

I'm currently reading The 9th Girl by Tami Hoag

Thanks Sharon, I am so far:)

Just started reading

Vicki wrote: "Mish, do you read two books at the same time?"

I never use to Vicky but now I do.

Sometimes I've got 3 books on the go....Audio book which I listen to in the car on the way to work and back, 1 on my eReader and the another one on a paper copy.

Usually I would pick different genres but in this case I've got 2 crime ones, so I'll see how I go.

I'd be forever mixing up the plots, I think. ;)

Finished The 9th Girl by Tami Hoag

I'm reading Missing You: Australia's Most Mysterious Unsolved Missing Persons Cases by Justine Ford.

I saw it on the 2013 Davitt Awards Shortlist and couldn't resist.

This sounds quite interesting Vicki. Think I might have to add it to my never ending TBR list.

This sounds q..."

Sharon, I'll let you know how I find it when I'm finished. Shame I can't lend my Kindle copy more than once (already promised that to someone else). :(

Look forward to seeing what you think Vicki. I just checked my library and they have a copy. I'm afraid I still only read book versions I haven't caught up with the new age of Kindles, or E readers etc. But thanks so much for thinking of me :)

It's great to have you with us Elaine:)

I'm currently reading S'wanee: A Paranoid Thriller by Don Winston

Just finished Stolen by Rebecca Muddiman an excellent debut novel - not as dark as books by Gillian Flynn but it will keep you guessing! I am now reading Blue Lightning by Ann Cleeves

Geoff wrote: "Finished Broken Prey by John Sandford. The twists and turns of the plot, and the mounting suspense towards the end, kept me on the edge of my seat. I'll be looking for more by Sandford. 4.5 stars."

I haven't read anything by this author Geoff...I just had a bit of a look and they sound good. Do you think they should be read from the beginning, as in the first in the series?

Oh good, thanks:)

Sharon, I've finished Missing You. A 5-star true crime read (http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...) and well worth checking out.

I have finished The Postman Always Rings Twice. It was brilliant and gave it 5 stars
Review here http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I'm at the tail end of Touch & Go - I'm loving it - but I pretty sure I can fit in another audio book in before my trip to the US. I've got Dark Places and White Jazz, I not sure which one to choose

Great review Mish:) Sounds like a coin toss for your next one!! Glad you're enjoying Touch as well...

Thanks Brenda. I'll get Zoe to decide for me :)

Good idea:)
