Do you know what the first one is in the trilogy Don? I could not seem to find it on Amazon.Alex, by Pierre Lemaitre, is an excellent French police procedural. Number two in a trilogy featuring Paris Police Commandant Camille Verhoeven (only two have been translated so far), this is a dark and compelling hunt for a serial killer. Full of twists and turns, it kept me up till the wee hours. The final chapters are a fascinating look at a French police interrogation - quite a different process than we see over here.
According to this review I was wrong -- "Alex" is the only one that has been translated so far. I don't know the names of the other two but will be watching for them.Do you know what the first one is in the trilogy Don? I could not seem to find it on Amazon.
Having watch some Maigret on Netflix I'm up for French mysteries. (Netflix link: Netflix - Unlimited TV Shows & Movies Online)
The simple worm has five pairs of hearts
Stuffed inside his wormy parts
He falls in love quite easily
And ten times as hard as you and me.
That is so cute!
This must be quite a popular book because I'm now number 103 in the waiting list at our library. The library system has 20 of these circulating.Quiet: The Power of Introverts by Susan Cain. In my opinion everyone in business should read this book. It would make managers (especially those uber-extroverted types) much better at what they do and help avoid having so many employees RE.
Her Privates We-a book about WW1 trench warfare written in 1930, from the British POV. Sounds incredibly horrible.
Ha
Critics have compared the engrossing space operas of Peter F. Hamilton to the classic sagas of such SF giants as Isaac Asimov and Frank Herbert. But Hamilton's bestselling fiction-powered by a fearless imagination and world-class storytelling skills-has also earned him comparison to Tolstoy and Dickens. Hugely ambitious, wildly entertaining, philosophically stimulating: the novels of Peter F. Hamilton will change the way you think about science fiction. Now, with Pandora's Star, he begins a new multivolume adventure, one that promises to be his most mind-blowing yet.
Thanks. I had not heard of Hamilton. I was able to download a book from the library containing two: A Mindstar Rising and Quantum Murder. I will give those a try. Others are available in hardback.By beloved has been reading "Pandora's Star" to me and we just got done. Now we're into "Judas Unchained". Really freakin' cool sci fi. I know that most of the folks here would dig it.
