"The Chartreuse Clue is an intriguing mystery that leaves you suspicious until the very end."

Lots of good reviews but it seems like not too many people have read them. Seems a good enough series, though.

book, Fairy Tale. It's 600 pages and, though I'm enjoying it for the most part, I'm getting ready for it to move along. We've spent too much time in the gulag.

That is a looong one.

I have read the first six books in the last seven days, in large part to distract from the election chaos. DS Peter Diamond investigates murders and other crimes in and around Bath, UK. The first book in the series is The Last Detective. Overall, pretty good. I needed a new series.

Over 60 books, going back to 1976. Lots of awards. Impressive.

(great name for murder/thriller writer)

After That Night and This is Why We Lied

Like a steaming hot lasagna: messed up but sexy detective, social commentary with a bite, harsh police realism.

Surprised me as I thought the books would be more girly but lean toward noir.

Great reviews. Lots of ebooks. I just grabbed the audio for False Witness, an electrifying standalone thriller.

Sounds really good. Thanks!!

Description: "A fiery feminist fantasy tale set in 1950s America where thousands of women have spontaneously transformed into dragons, exploding notions of a woman’s place in the world and expanding minds about accepting others for who they really are."

Excellent book to be reading right now! I highly recommend it.

Thanks!

Although anything with dragons is okay by me, this was exceptional.

and so far, I'm loving it! I have a feeling I will miss it when I read the last word. Some books are like that.

It’s the follow up to her book Count the Ways.

I can't wait to read this. She is one of mt favorite authors ever.

A powerful hurricane heading toward Florida and escaped Russian prisoners hanging out ready to loot. I’m about a third way through. The description of the storm is scary. And the Russians are really, really bad. I’m betting on Doc Ford to save the day.

Book 3 in her Lost and Found series.

Luna Bodman always looks forward to a new shipment of furniture at the restoration shop. Her brother, Cullen, has a knack for finding discarded pieces with an intriguing history, and Luna likes to sit with each item to see if she can feel any kind of vibrations.

From the moment Luna wiggles inside the armoire and closes her eyes, she feels an overpowering and disturbing sensation. Emerging, she asks for a flashlight and discovers words scraped into the wood: “Help me!” Hoping to uncover the piece’s secrets, Luna contacts her good friend, U.S. Marshall Christopher Gaines, and the group sets out to trace the armoire’s origins.The journey takes them to a military school in New England, and a mysterious, long-ago ransom case. The kidnappers were never found, but decades later, the answers may finally be within reach . . .
Ms Michaels has several series, some of which are very long. I love series because after reading a couple or three I feel like I am with old friends. Sometimes she tends to dwell on details but I can overlook that
These characters are very likable and kind people.

By Chester Hines. Four stories packed in the Everyman's Library edition. Action never stops. I've read quite a few of these beautifully published books with smooth pages.
