Bob (bobbk) | 13 comments All Sandford's books are great. I have several other books on tape /CD to listen to.

Miekey Rodriguez | 23 comments I've enjoyed Game of Thrones on HBO, but now I'm going through withdrawls and am considering reading the series, Song of Ice and Fire. Any advice there? Does the TV show follow the books?

Most of the major beats are there, it's somewhat out of sequence. I will say I loved the first three books but didn't enjoy the last two as much.

Someone suggested to me that Hilary Mantel's books might be a good stop-gap for the Game of Thrones fan. Just passing it along--I haven't read them yet myself.

I agree with you. I have never read a bad Sandford book. He's one of my favorite authors.


message 260: by Mayine (new)

Mayine (mayine11) | 2 comments I just downloaded Elizabeth George's Believing The Lie (#17). As an avid fan of the Lynley series, I can't wait! I try not to read her books as soon as they come out so that I don't have to wait a full year for the next one! Luckily #18 is already out so... yippee!


message 261: by Sandi (new)

Sandi | 451 comments I finished the third in what was to be a trilogy by Jeffrey Archer, "Best Kept Secret" (The Clifton Chronicles"). It was a cliff-hanger (pun intended). Apparently the series has done so well it's no longer a trilogy.

June (juneedelsonnj) | 105 comments I guess Sandi liked Best Kept Secret!! LOL.

I too am following that series and waiting for the last one, so didn't read that one yet. however, I really liked the first two books. I love everything Jeffrey Archer writes and have read them all.

I started noticing this problem a couple of days ago (at least when I'm on my tablet). It all seems to post but it shows that it is still processing. It seems to post all right when I'm on my phone.

The Lincoln Rhyme series is one of my favorites. You should certainly read the rest, you will love them. I'm currently reading The Kill Room, also.

I am now reading The Asylum, not quite sure what is going on yet, but I am enjoying it. Every so often I find I just need a ghost story.

Ack! Aiesha what will you do once you've finished both Slaughter's series? How will you go on? ;>

Fortunately, I am only on the second Grant County and the third Will Trent so I'm good for a few weeks yet.

I don't know!! I'm already trying to think of what to read next. There are several Eve Duncan books by Iris Johansen I need to catch up on. I'm almost done with the Quincy/Rainie series by Lisa Garnder. I only have 2 more books in that series to read. I'm also reading the In Death series by JD Robb (which is forever long!!) and the Harry Bosch series by Michael Connelly so I have plenty to read lol. It's just a matter of what to read next!

Sandford is one of the few writers who, after reading his first one, I went on to read the rest one after the other. Connelly is another writer I can read back to back.


message 288: by Dorie (new)

Dorie (dorieann) | 464 comments Just started The Heist (O'Hare and Fox #1) by Janet Evanovich by Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg. Nicolas Fox is reminding me a lot of White Collar's Neal Caffrey. Fun book.


message 289: by Gary (new)

Gary Russell I've just finished "A Man without breath." By Phillip Kerr. A good read if you enjoy detective stories set against historical events. A WW2 story written from a German perspective. Well written and cleaver, as all Phillip Kerr novels are.

I'm going to read this book next and the description reminded me of the show White Collar, also.


message 293: by Georgia (new)

Georgia | 554 comments I am into 100 pages of Smilla's Sense of Snow by Peter Høeg . It is an unusual book, mystery, comparing
Denmark with Greenland, people, animals,etc. a study of
snow. I will finish it. It is worth reading.

Yeah, one of the authors has to be a White Collar fan. That's okay though, because it's one of my favorite shows. Hope you enjoy the book.

I think Lee Goldberg did the show Monk, which I really liked, so I'm anxious to start. Pretty good pairing with Janet Evanovich.

France (boomette1) | 5 comments Hi :) I'm new here :) I was looking for a group of mystery books and I found this group :) Seems great.

Yesterday I finished reading 15 Seconds by Andrew Gross It was a very good book. So addicting. It took me 2 days. And yesterday evening I began reading The Dark Tide (Ty Hauck, #1) by Andrew Gross and again this book is good from the start :) I like when a book is addicting at first.


message 300: by Barbara (new)

Barbara (cinnabarb) | 9817 comments I finished The Last Victim by Karen Robards. It's a good mystery/thriller spiced up with some paranormal romance. I don't usually like romance in my mysteries but this was a bit different and rather entertaining. I enjoyed the book. 4 stars.
