The book I like the most in September is the The Roadhouse by Kerry McGinnisI have driven through the area this book is set in and I can picture the isolation and the importance of community involvement.
Tie for me, too. A Better Man was brand new and up to Penny’s typical high standards. And also a re-read of The Big Sleep, still as great as it always has been.

Not familiar with either of these books.
The best book I read last month was Hannibal. I very much enjoy the series and I hope the next book is just as good.

I'm curious."For me the reason is simple: I like Cleverly's Joe Sandiland's books and Myers's Maggie Sullivan books to begin with. I only read 3 books that month and the third one (by a best selling author) was so slow and bland, I couldn't finish it.

Thanks. 3 books a month is some pretty heavy reading for me.
A Better Man and The Big Sleep share two qualities that contribute to a good read for me, more than plot, for instance. Louise Penny and Raymond Chandler both write beautifully, and both books feature MCs who repeatedly struggle with ethical dilemmas but find their way through in the end.

I was in completely awe of Rip Tides by Toby Neal of the Lei Crime series. it was by far my favorite for September. These books do need to be read in order. However, whenever I pick up the next book in the series, I'm just totally glued to it.
