now reading "Valley of Bones" Valley of Bones (Jimmy Paz, #2) by Michael Gruber by Michael Gruber. Gruber ghost-wrote a bunch of Robert Tannenbaum's Butch Karp mysteries. He's very good.

Barbara (cinnabarb) | 9821 comments I finished The Cleaner The Cleaner (Cleaner, #1) by Paul Cleave by Paul Cleave.

A serial killer is raping and murdering women in Christchurch, Zealand - and the killer has insinuated himself into a janitor's job at the police station. The story is told mostly from the murderer's POV. Pretty good thriller. 3 stars.

Barbara (cinnabarb) | 9821 comments I finished Behind Her Eyes Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough by Sarah Pinborough.

Single parent Louise gets involved in an affair with her new boss.... while sumultaneously becoming friends with his wife.
But there's much more than a romantic triangle going on in this unique psychological thriller. Lots of people love this book but for me it's just okay. 3 stars.

I am reading a novel that is loosely based on the story behind Peter Jackson's film Heavenly Creatures, Harriet Said..., by Beryl Bainbridge. If you haven't seen that film, the identity of one of the girls involved in real-life murder was revealed later as , the author of several historical mystery novels. The events of the film aren't really the subject of the book; it's a portrait of two young girls involved in a horrific (as the back-cover blurb says), "scheme to beguile, then humiliate" a man the girls had met whom they've nicknamed The Tsar, "with disastrous, shocking consequences." I haven't reached the midway point, but so far it's very, very good.

Araych | 649 comments just finished "Valley of Bones" Valley of Bones (Jimmy Paz, #2) by Michael Gruber by Michael Gruber. Really loved this book--it has everything: suspense, humor, violence and even love and some religion. Not my religion, but still. Anyway, highly recommended.

Alice Mc | 12 comments I just finished The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith aka J.K Rowling - have to say I wasn't a big fan. It felt slow and a bit boring. Not sure if they get any more exciting?

I've just finished Uncle Silas, by Le Fanu (1864), a great Victorian gothic novel. Mystery abounds, as does a large measure of creepiness and gut-tightening suspense.

Yes, enthralling is a good adjective -- but fyi, it was written in the Victorian era so might be a bit wordy for modern readers. I loved it.

Currently reading two books (one day/one night):

day: Wise Children, by Angela Carter
night: Requiem At Rogano, which is a historical crime fiction mystery that (so far) looks back at a series of murders from the 15th century. Incredibly good to this point.

I loved Wise Children. Indeed, anything by Carter is normally worth reading.

She's amazing, isn't she? I loved her The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories, and the new biography about her is excellent.

I quit reading that sort of thing (well, as much as possible given that a lot of modern crime novels make abduction their centerpiece). I also don't read novels where torture is made graphic -- jeez louise, some authors go out of their way to make it as gross and disgusting as they possibly can. Why anyone finds that sort of thing entertaining is beyond my scope of understanding.

Hope you enjoy it, sadly I didn't when I read it last year. I seem to dislike more books than I like recently.

Barbara (cinnabarb) | 9821 comments I finished Hag-Seed Hag-Seed by Margaret Atwood by Margaret Atwood.

This book is part of the Hogarth Shakespeare Project, in which famous authors re-tell and modernize the bard's great works. Hag-Seed is a modern version of 'The Tempest.' Atwood's book is very inventive and creative....well worth reading if you like this sort of thing. 4 stars.
