Crime, Mysteries & Thrillers discussion

Sorry I haven't been on schedule lately. I'm trying to get myself together so hopefully things will get back on track. That said, I was amazed when I realized two week will be into November AND that said

Anyone read any 4 or 5 star books lately?

Bardelys the Magnificent, by Rafael Sabatini.

On Beulah Height by Reginald Hill

We Are the Brennans by debut author Tracey Lange

Wow. You guys have lucked out. I'm trying to muddle through an uninteresting book for my in person book club. I keep hoping it will get better. Might just be my frame of mind because it got pretty good reviews on GRs.

Clock Dance

Clock Dance I gave it 1 star. Awful.

The Witness for the Dead, by Katherine Addison. This is a crime/mystery fantasy novel, involving zombies and magic, and a woman investigating a murder. It was really good.

5 stars you think?

Yep. It was quite well done. I still think I liked the first book in Addison's fantasy world (The Goblin Emperor) a little more, but mostly I liked all the political maneuverings in that one, which are not as entertaining to everyone. Witness for the Dead puts a fun twist on murder investigation, considering how things change when you have people who can channel the last thoughts and experiences of dead people and even briefly talk to the dead, to ask them what happened from their own POV.
