Mystery/Thriller Reading Friends discussion

Our newest group read is Simone St. James's The Book of Cold Cases.
Are you planning on reading this book? We've enjoyed one of her books as a group read and look forward to discussing it.
No spoilers please on this topic.

Just got it and starting it tonight.

Bonnie: I started it yesterday and it is really good. I may not finish it today, but I am so tempted.

I ended up shoving several books aside I started sooner too.

I started the audio version yesterday, it's good so far! This is the first book by Simone St James that I've read so far.

Ann has heard this already, but I started this a few days ago on audio and am completely hooked. And I don't like what we used to call novels with "woo-woo", meaning magical, mystical or ghostly elements (unless it's a romance by Amanda Quick) but I'm letting that part roll off my back and enjoying the rest, which is pretty addicting. I'll make the rest of my comments on content in the other thread.

Thanks for setting up the discussion threads, Ann!

I know I am late to the party but I figured I had some time to start reading and finish by the end of the month.

Very eerie first chapter and love stories on how the past events affect the present.

Jess, yes, no time limit! Happy to have you join in the discussion!

Seconded!

I don't really know how to take this one...I'm a little more than halfway. I don't usually read books with paranormal activity in it but it does have me going around in circles (which is a good thing). One thing for sure, is that it messes with your mind.

Yup. At the risk of repeating myself, I don't do paranormal but I found the amount in this book was balanced out by the (believable) suspense.

Jess: Like you I generally steer away from paranormal. but on occasion find myself drawn into a specific book with "woo woo" elements
I agree with Carol, this one offered a bit of a balance - some parts more traditional mystery as well as the supernatural.
