Nice to know Mr Pawson has another fan, Lucy

[lucyy300]

My recent reads are:
Stuart MacBride - Place of Darkness. I have read a lot by this author, this is his new one. Police procedurals set in and around Aberdeen in the north of Scotland. Always good with a sprimkling of humour. https://knife-market.com/listing/cat...folding-knives
Stuart Pawson, I have read four of his which feature a Policeman called Charlie Priest. These are set in a ficticious town in the north of Emgland, close to where I live. Charlie visits real towns, including mine. They are all very old because this author died in 2010
Last Reminder - Chill Factor - Limestone Cowboy - Some by Fire social media marketing services
Robert Crais - Lullaby Town. Very old and featuring Detective Elvis Cole. A long time since I read one of these
Frieda McFadden - The Housemaid. This lady writes some very different stories and very good
Frieda McFadden - The Locked Door. See above
Peter Finch - Never Seen Again New author to me but very good

In and among I read a couple of non-fiction

Coronation Street, 1960 - 2000. This is about a UK TV soap. I haven't seen it for years but I was a fan back in the day and it was good to reminisce (?). You are probably not familiar with this series, I don't know if it is braoadcast in the US. It is, or certainly was, broadcast in Canada as I used to discuss it with Mo
Peter Kay. Peter is a UK comedian and very very funny.

I love that Stuart Pawson's stories

OH HA! I don;t "do" Zombie stuff - - Hey, glad you've stuck with the series on The Women's Murder Club. The TV series was really good as well. I think I got into the 20's then .....

[Gismo]

Well, finally finished my epic Zombie book which went weird at the end, won't spoil it for others in case they read it, but, not the ending i expected.
Anyway, onto the 19th book from James Patterson for the murder club series

I did read a couple of Karin Slaughter's a few years ago, https://3dtrcek.com/en/abs-filament can't remember if they were Will Trent or not. SharpEdge

Never read any Janet Ivanovich

thats great

[4AMNTN]

The Evanovich series is funny. Unlucky OR lucky newly starting out bounty hunter (Stephanie Plum) with NO skills. A cop (Joe Morelli) and an Ex Ranger(Carlos Manoso), then there's her family AND the townspeople -- it's a hoot. Somewhere in all that is a little romance A LOT of tension and FTA's to capture. (failure to appear)

I read Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay, the first of 8 books that inspired the show. It was good, not great. It's a first person POV and I didn't care for the "voice" too much. Good story though. Very dark character.

[Gismo]

I've hardly been reading anything, still stuck on my 1 to 9 books in one go Zombie thing

Never read any Janet Ivanovich

[4AMNTN]

YB! That's a great list! My! I looked for the first time in months if not a year or more - a new Karin Slaughter's Will Trent : Why We Lied book is out - I'll need to buy that. Also my Janet Ivanovich's Stephanie Plum series should be coming out with one soon. : Oops (Dirty Thirty) AND ... Now or Never
Oh & of course isn't October when out REACHER books usually are released? I miss reading - In Too Deep ... tho I didn't read The Secret.

[YB]

Frieda McFadden - The Inmate. Never read anything by this lady previously but I thought it very good. Anyone else read her?
Frieda McFadden - Never Lie. I liked the above author so much I got another and wasn't disappointed. I have a further one on my TBR pile
Peter James - They Thought I Was Dead. If you are familiar with the Roy Grace series (which I think is better than brilliant!) you'll know that underlying in every book is references to his missing wife. This book tells her story
Charlie Gallagher - He Is Watching You. New author to me, good
Graham Hurley - Touching Distance. A spin off from his Faraday and Winter series. Good but not as good as F&R
Mark Billingham - The Wrong Hands. I have read a lot by him. Many feature London detective Tom Thorne, this is a standalone but good
Andy McNab - Recoil. I've read a few by this man, they are good without being brilliant. i don't go looking for them, they find me
Lynda La Plante - Whole Life Sentence. Main character is lady policeman Jane Tennyson. The series started maybe 30 years ago when Jane was a fairly senior Police Officer. Then about 2010 she started with prequels from when Jane first joined the Police. These have now caught up with the original series and Lynda has announced that there will be no more, which is disappointing

[YB]

Aline Templeton - Last Act of All. Couldn't get into it, abandoned after about 80 pages
Pauline Rowson - Portsmouth Murders. Good without being outstanding
Nick Roberts - Find the Girl. Good
Belinda P Sheehan - A Wicked Mercy. I did finish it but came clodse to abandoning it a couple of times
Oliver Davies - Unusual Remains. I read a few of his a couple of years ago and liked them but this one was hard going
Carolyn Arnold - Taken Girls. Good sold stories from the author, read lots previously
The above are all FREE on Kindle

Alex Gray - Out of Darkness. A Bill Lorimer police procedural, usually set in Glasgow but this one was mainly in Zimbabwe

My two latest ones wouldn't be of interest to anyone on here as they cover music in my town years ago.
They are called Small Time Saturday Night, volumes one and two. They cover local venues and local singers/bands. They also talk about World Stars who came here, including Roy Orbison and Gene Vincent among others. Eddie Cochran was booked to appear (along with Gene Vincent) but he had sadly been killed in a car accdent the week before.

The books cover the period 1957-1970. For the first five years I wasn't old enough to be going into town to concerts but 1962 onwards I remember very well. Th
The author is called Trevor Simpson and among other things he played football for the local team and went on to be a top level referee

That dude needs to write a sequel.

Been waiting for ages for it too

[Dan M.]

WOW! So many books! My that's great! Thx for sharing - I'll need to check back more often - I haven't read in a long time. Last book was a really good one "Into the Yellowstone". - anyone here know of that

That dude needs to write a sequel.
