Mystery Lovers! discussion

I just finished reading Murderer's Club by P.D. Martin and Baby Shark's Beaumont Blues. I will be posting reviews on my blog http://bloodstainedbookreviews.blogsp...

Next on my List to be read are
Stay by Nicola Griffith and The Firemaker by Peter May

I just finished one from MC Beaton's Hamish McBeth series "Death of a Perfect Wife." I've been on a Hamish kick - not so much for the plots as for the characters and the descriptions of the small town life.

I've started Arianna Franklin's "Mistress of the Art of Death." Since I had a couple plane flights this week, I made a pretty good start at it, and have really been enjoying it.

Next after that is probably the 3rd book in the Maise Dobbs series.

"Mistress of the Art of Death" was great!!! I'm curious to know what you think of it when you've finished it. I really enjoyed it along with Arianna Franklin's other book, "City of Shadows". Enjoy!! :)

I finished "Mistress of the Art of Death" today. It really pulled me along, so I set aside the other books I've been reading while I finished it.

There were a couple places where due to the foreshadowing I was able to guess what would happen next or to whom something would happen, and I wasn't all that surprised by whodunit. I thought it was well written overall and that the ending was well done.

I'm looking forward to reading "City of Shadows."

I just finished Suspect by Michael Robothom which is a great book. I have read his non-series work before but hadn't read any of the Joe O'Loughlin books before. Am looking forward to reading more of them but as I don't own any others yet my next mystery read will probably be Kathy Reichs' latest. Although I'm going to tackle a non-mystery, Pillars of the Earth, as my next good read.

I'm currently reading The Spellman Files by Lisa Lutz. Ms. Lutz is a very sharp writer. I'm really enjoying her first book and I'm sure I'll pick up her sequel when I finish this one.

I am happily leaping into The Tin Roof Blowdown, a Dave Robicheaux Novel by James Lee Burke. I'm a long-time fan of the Robicheaux series, and the setting of Hurricane Katrina promises to make this book one of the best.

I just finished Crimson Joy, by Robert B. Parker, which I enjoyed.

My next mystery will probably be Paper Doll, also by Robert B. Parker.

I loved Crimson Joy, Susanna. I don't think Parker's come up to that level in any subsequent book, although they're still
good reads." Let us know what you think about Paper Doll.

Those of you who like a little history with your mystery

I have The Hangman's Song out via Library, first I've read in that series

I am working on my review of The Pot Thief Who Studied Pythagoras. Loved it. It's eccentric, off-beat, totally original. Definitely getting hooked on this series.

I just finished "Ming Tea Murder" by laura Childs and am now reading "Bone to be Wild" by Carolyn Haines.

The Diva Runs Out of Thyme just finished

Currently reading Murder to Go

I just finished A Beautiful Blue Death which I thought was just okay. Before that I read The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag and A Fatal Grace, both of which I very much enjoyed.

Just finished Finders, Keepers (Stephen King)the second installment of a three part series begun with the Award Winning Mr. Mercedes. "I was walking in the woods one day and a thought occurred to me...", how a story is born.

Up next, The Wright Brothers.

Finished and loved The Pot Thief Who Studied Pythagoras. Gave it five stars. Finished and liked Double Duplicity. Three and a half stars if GR would let me do halves. The former is more unconventional in its plot and characters, the latter more of a traditional cozy, though enhanced by a touch of the mystical. Now reading the very unconventional, mystical and beautifully written book two in the Mysterious Marsh series When The Tide Turned.

Finished Bone to be Wild by Carolyn Haines and now reading The Wolfe Window by Victoria Abbott.

Could readers give the GR links with the titles of the books they enjoyed? Most of you do, a few don't. I like to click on them (I know I can enter the titles and search but I type everything wrong...) and see if I would be interested. Thanks.
