Little sister by david hewson. What a good idea.

Wondering if anyone has read The Ashes of London by Andrew Taylor. I read the first couple of chapters at the library the other day and it seemed interesting but I've been fooled before by good beginnings not leading to good endings.

No I haven't heard of that one.

That one was just ok for me, Judith. It's book #3 & I liked the first 2 better. And I agree....great idea, David.

The Hanging Shed by Gordon Ferris?? Set in postwar Glasgow

Many thanks, David!

I have not but it keeps popping up on my Facebook feed so I'm curious about it as well.

On mine as well, Mary. That's what prompted my question

Has anyone read My Husband's Wife by Jane Corry?

I liked it. many surprises all through the book. Interesting characters and story and not gory. An actual psychological thriller-- with the steady pace of a thriller... I would say "read it." :-)

Has anyone read The Mitford Murders by Jessica Fellowes, I enjoyed it as a light read.

Thanks! I have another book club that is reading it for the November meeting and I managed to snag a copy at the library the other day.

Mary, that sounds intriguing and I have just entered a giveaway on Goodreads for My Husband's Wife. thanks for the tip!

Has anyone read Elizabeth Edmondson's series A Very English Mystery ? Starts with A Man of Some Repute, then A Question of Inheritance and lastly A Matter of Loyalty, which showed up in my Amazon feed this morning. I'm looking for some inexpensive choices to put on my Amazon wish list for Christmas and thought this might be an interesting series. Mostly good * ratings on Amazon.

Thanks!

The US bundle is under $9, with the first 2 around $2 each

I haven't read them but they do look interesting!

Has anyone read Elizabeth Edmondson's series...

I've read them. Very much enjoyed the first ones. Sadly, Elizabeth Edmondson died while writing the last one and it was completed by her son. Didn't enjoy it quite so much, but I'd recommend the series overall.

I have read the first ones but not the last written by her son. I enjoyed the first but then they sort of went downhill for me. She has written many other books as Elizabeth Aston and Elizabeth Pewsey. I have The Frozen Lake on my kindle that I keep meaning to start.

It looks like "we" read Joy Ellis (a different one) in 11/16 - didn't get to it, apparently as it is still in my TBR. Anyhow, today Beware the Past showed up in my Amazon feed, USD 0.99. Wondering if anyone has read this? Also, since the group just read her 14 months ago, is it too early to nominate her for next month's value read? I know, it is January 1st so why am I thinking about February already.....

I haven't read that but I have read 2 in her Nikki Galena series and plan on reading more when I get around to it. This one, Beware the Past is a standalone so I don't know how it compares to her series books

I just finished Our House by Louise Candlish and enjoyed it. In my TBR pile is a previous book The Sudden Departure of the Frasers I got it when someone suggested it as a group read and it hasn't made it to the top. Anyone read either or both and have an opinion on the Sudden Departure of the Frasers. Maybe I should offer it as a suggested read for October.

I haven't read either, Mary
Why not nominate one for October??
