Mystery/Thriller Reading Friends discussion

A slow month of reading but some good quality. Here are my March reads:

Top Read
Dead I Well May Be
Adrian McKinty
Dark gritty crime novel that takes the reader from Belfast to New York City and then to Mexico. A very good read though a bit too long. Loved the narration on the audio by Gerard Doyle. His Irish accent really made the listen enjoyable.

Good Reads

Carte Blanche
Carlo Lucarelli
The first book in the De Luca trilogy set in 1945 during the final days of the Fascist Republic. I picked this up because I am fascinated by crime stories that take place during wartime and while this is a very short book (only a little over 100 pages) I did think it was well worth reading and will continue on with the trilogy.

Morning Miracle
Dave Kindred
At the beginning of this book the author thought that he would be "writing a valentine to journalism" the craft he loved and practiced for over forty years but as one of his subjects, Pulitzer Prize winner Gene Weingarten, opined the book did kind of turn out to be "about a great newspaper dying with dignity".

Cadillac Beach (AUDIOBOOK)
Tim Dorsey
Serge is as crazy as ever and in this book he, along with his stoner friend Lenny, start their own tourist service and try to solve the mystery of Serge's grandfather's death back in 1965. Lots of bodies, Florida history, and chaos ensue but all according to the Master Plan. I listened to the audio version read by one of my favorites George Wilson.

The Name of the Wind
Patrick Rothfuss
Entertaining fantasy saga. Interesting characters and a nice sense of the mysterious. Definitely just a first part though, will have to read further books to get any closure.

great audio readers do make for good listening!
