Martha Grimes' Richard Jury mysteries. All set in Britain, with lots of plot twists.
I recently discovered Janet Evanovich 's books . They are the perfect beach book and I'm working on reading her whole series .
And I picked up some fiction the other day and I'm reading it fast: Run: A Novel by Ann Patchett.
Thanks IP, this is a P.D. James I was not aware of. Now have a request at the library for it. DW is interested in it too -- and she's a voracious reader so I better watch out and start turning the pages fast when it arrives .Just finished P.D. James' Innocent Blood, and my head is still spinning. It was one of the most unusually constructed books I have read. P.D. James' usual clear-eyed take on English class and society in a situation that unfolds rather than being reconstructed as it would have been in a whodunnit.
Probably get grief over this one, but I decided that this summer I would read all the Harry Potter books (need to keep up with the nieces and nephews, and have something to talk about with them). I'm on number 4 now, To my surprise, I'm having a lot of fun, and that's what counts.
My current Trashy Novel is Jeffrey Archer's "A Prisoner of Birth". I'm on page 100 of a 600 page book and so far it's got me interested in the plot. It's a whodunnit based around a murder trial and if I know Jeffrey Archer, the innocent guy who's likely to be convicted for the murder will get his revenge in the end. Archer spent time in jail for fraud and had plenty of time to do literary research there!
Does that Kindle thingy allow you to listen to some books?I know he's an old timer, but I just discovered Ken Follett and love it. Big John LeCarre fan. Anything by Updike.
Got a Kindle 2 for my recent b'day and loading it up. Keep the suggestions coming.
Which Grisham´s new book? It it´s The Appeal I totally agree with you.I'm reading "Run for your life " by James Patterson . It really holds your interest and keeps me turning the pages . Much better than Grisham's new book which I thought was slightly boring.
Other good spy fiction is Daniel Silva's books with Gabriel Allon as a Mossad agent. Daniel Silva - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I am reading Moscow Rules today.
