Having to stop reading is difficult, so many twists and turns. Can't think of how it will end, except, of course, will win the day, I hope.

I enjoyed this book so much that I'm now reading the 2nd book in the series.

I have read all of this series. I really enjoy them. The characters are like no other fictional characters. Although the stories deal with murder and mayhem, there is a touch of humor in each book. If you like Scotland mysteries, try one of this series.

A family seder, but not their typical celebration. Humorous and somewhat heartwarming at the same time. Enjoying it.

I am fascinated by this book. As the story unfolds, we meet Eleanor and Anthony who have fallen in love at first sight. It continues with their family and a dreadful secret which is finally explained. The story goes back and forth in time to the early years of the 20th century and almost pr3esent. We find out what led up tp the incident and, in present day, a young police officer attempts to find the answers.

Reading for 2nd time and still like it as much. Poignant story of Polish emigrant woman, who at 17 comes to the US. Her life and that of her family.

Almost finished with book and I recommend it to anyone with an interest in ballet. The story brought back many memories for me and taught me what being in one of the ballet schools was like.

Almost finished. It's a good story, although, possibly, a little farfetched. A family in need, sisters who aren't close, an nonnmaternal mother, and a look back at Leningrad during a horrific time.

Finished. One of the best books I've read. Couldn't put it down.

A married woman's 15 year old daughter walks in front of a bus. The mother is obsessed with finding with finding out why her daughter, who is in a coma, wanted to kill herself. Fast read.

Killer by Jonathon Kellerman

I got this book from an online discounted book site. I,m so glad I ordered it (for my kindle). It tells of an 11 year old boy who is charged with killing a younger playmate. It is also the story of the attorney who takes the case who for some reason finds an affinity for this child. The story goes back and forth between the present and the lawyer's foster care childhood.

Sophie Hannah nailed the Poirot character.

Edge of Eternity
This is the 3rd of Ken Follett's century trilogy. They are all excellently written and wonderful reads. I'll be sorry when I finish this one knowing there will be sequel.

Blood Line is another Anna Travis mystery. I've read them all and like the stories. But, I don't particularly like the Travis character

Black Dog

Donna Tartt's latest book. The changes in a young boy's life after his mother is a bombing victim.

A British mystery involving a RAF aircraft that crashed in the area in the 40's.

I love Camilla Lackberg's books. I've read them all. She's a Swedish author who keeps you guessing until the very end. Her main characters are likable and also humanly conflicted. That makes them realistic. The Lost Child is her most recent book and I'll have to wait until 2014 for her next. In this story, a rather likable person is killed and it's a real puzzle as to why. I strongly recommend her books.

This is a haunting twisting plot which keeps you trying to guess the outcome.

One of a series bgy Swedish author Camilla Lackberg

Beautifully written, the story of Masada seen thru the eyes of 4 very different women.

Mr MacBride's book is a new experiewnce for me and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. Looking forward to reading more MacBride.

In the dark

This is my first venture into James Grippando's Jack Swyteck books. The story grabbed me from the start. I will definitely read abother of this series.

Really enjoying it. I like these fairly new characters, Will Trent and faith Mitchell.

Peter James is new to me. I don't know if he's widely published here. I was gripped from the start. The characters are well developed and the premise of this story is really interesting. I've already sent for 2 more of his books.
