It is set in Canada and is the second in a series - a particularly nasty woman is murdered by being electrocuted in full view of the whole village next to a frozen lake. Most of the village has reason to kill her but who did it and how did they pull it off?

Saralyn (cozygingerchronicles) | 2 comments I have several books that I've started but my main read at the moment is This Side of the Grave (Night Huntress, #5) by Jeaniene Frost

I really need to stop starting so many books at a time! My goal for this month is to finish all of the books that I've started. :)


message 11: by Rita (new)

Rita | 18 comments Apparently the book lookup feature isn't working right now as I can't post a link to the book I'm reading. Currently reading Case Histories by Kate Atkinson. I'm really enjoying it especially since I watched the PBS miniseries and can fill in the details now.

Linda | 2 comments i'm currently reading Darkness on the Edge of Town. I just started it but it is definitely a "page turner" The backdrop is Bisbee, AZ- a town I've been to many times so it makes it more realistic for me!

I own that one and one of my goals is to read more of the books I own. Glad to hear it's good. Wish I would have known about the miniseries, I'll have to see if the show it again. I listened to Started Early, Took My Dog by Kate Atkinson last week and thought it was great.

I'm about 1/2 way through and I'm enjoying the story. I was worried I wouldn't because I'm not a baseball (or any sport really) fan. But it's good!

I have both of these on my tbr. I'll be curious to see if you think they measure up to their ratings.


message 35: by Tasha (new)

Tasha @jaxsnmom, coming off some 5 star reads (Bel Canto and The Sisters Brothers) I feel the writing is not as good, more typical, but the story is interesting so it's going well. It seems to be a typical story of that time (so far) but I feel like there is some suspense building so I'm curious to see where it goes. So far, so good but I'll keep you posted. :)

message 37: by LynnB (new)

LynnB I just finished the ARC of Broken Harbour (Dublin Murder Squad, #4) by Tana French by Tana French that will be out this summer. It's police procedural blended with psychological thriller. It's really good, so if you like Tana French's books, be looking for it!

I have been thinking of reading The Snow Child- can't deciede maybe you can help- it is slow and depressing?
As for GWTW I have read it several times - I love it- so much more to the book than to the movie
