It's a pretty big book so may take you a while to get through anyway. When you order maybe get something light to read alongside!
Mod
Thanks Toby. I don't like to read long books, unless they engage me fully, and then I can fly through them. But hopefully I'll be able to pick it up soon.
I read Mystic River a few years ago. Really enjoyed it. Did see the movie, but preferred the book

I'm lucky I didn't have to whip out my credit card for Mystic River. My library has it in stock :)

I have a Q for you crime/suspense/mystery buffs out there in GRland. Have any of you heard of or read this book?Wolf Pear
I've just gotten in contact with author on wordpress and I didn't know she was an Aussie or an award winning author. Just wondering if you guys had heard/read and had some thoughts.
Mod
I'm sure Dianne will be happy to be on another TBR list Brenda. :)
I've downloaded a sample of Wolf Pear, it sounds intriguing.
You guys will have to let me know what you think when you read it. I'm keen to give it a go, but with my TBR list, it'll be a while to get to it!
I read enough of the sample to be intrigued. I just purchased it, but I have a ton of other books to read first.
Mod
Ha! Don't we always do that!!! lol
I just saw on the interwebs that Ian Rankin is visiting Australia... So far he has confirmed he will be visiting Brisbane. Any other Rankin fans in residence? Think it is appropriate to buy him a beer in a seedy establishment?
Mod
Well it may be that I read Wolf Pear before you guys, unless Perry is reading it now. I've got it listed as #4 on my TBR list :D
I'm struggling to find a good thriller to read that's not too gory. Sort of a Matthew Reilly meets Lord Lynley. When I wrote my thriller "Mastermind" (it's in libraries around Australia), I modelled my hero, Mitchell Park ... 6ft plus and gorgeous ... on Dylan McDermott. Are there any others out there?
I'm sure these guys can suggest a few books for you Helen. Thriller/Crime/suspense is not my bread and butter, but something I read from time to time. I may have to have a look at what they suggest for you :)

I have a Q for you Brenda. In relation to Assassin. The price on Amazon is insane! $17.98 on kindle.Did you get it from Amazon Brenda, or somewhere else?
Mod
Ah... the library. They had it already!? Awesome. I might have to check out my local library. I'm not shelling out $18 for a book, no matter how awesome it may be :)Thanks for your info :)

This story of the Aussie Ocean's Eleven was very good reading. Thank you for sharing that link.
