Mystery/Thriller Reading Friends discussion

My September was dominated by The Hallmarked Man, and it was an enjoyable time I was sorry to see end.

Very Good Books
The Hallmarked Man (Cormoran Strike, #8) by Galbraith, Robert - hated to have it end.

The Shattering Peace(Old Man's War, #7) by Scalzi, John a favorite series and author.


Good Books
The Deepest Cut (Monkeewrench #11) by Tracy, P.J. - love the Monkewewrench gang.

A Midwife's Tale: The Life of Martha Ballard, Based on Her Diary, 1785-1812 Ulrich, Laurel Thatcher fascinating history, a companion to the fictional version of Martha Ballard's story The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon

Spook Street (Slough House, #4) Herron, Mick - love these books, still reading behind the tv series and catching up.

At Midnight Comes the Cry(The Rev. Clare Fergusson & Russ Van Alstyne Mysteries Series, #10) by Spencer-Fleming, Julia - I jumped at the chance for this NetGalley arc.

Murder at Gulls Nest (Nora Breen Investigates, #1) Kidd, Jess

OK Books
When the Moon Hits Your Eye Scalzi, John - I guess I can't like all Scalzi books.

Eerie Basin: A Short Story by Pochoda, Ivy horror, probably very good.

Game of Nines by Patterson, James - not liking the ending sealed the low rating.

Turmeric and Turmoil: A Small Town Contemporary Cozy Mystery: by Winter, Carly - I am done with this series. subsequesnt books get lighter and lighter on plot. barely ok.

nice month, ann. loved your review of the second scalzi you read lol

Haven’t read the Slough House books. Are they as good as the TV series?

Dan: I started reading the books after watching the TV series Slow Horses and love both. I’m still a book behind so each book has to this point included enjoying how the book was presented on the screen. The characters are spot on btw.

Nice month! I am saving Frozen River for next month - it's already started. So good so far.
