What are you reading?
In reading All By Myself Alone by Mary Higgins Clark.
I am starting to read Redemption Point by Candice Fox. I hope I enjoy this book better than the first book Crimson Lake.

Finished The Force by Don Winslow. An ambitious, well researched crime novel about corrupt cops reminiscent of LA Quartet and The Shield, it is not as exceptional as either but still a fine book in its own right. Rating - 4/5.My review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Just started reading A Darker Place by Jack Higgins
Just finished Kafka's, The Trial. Was kinda brutal. I know it's dated and that factors into the style, but my lands... make your point and move on. :) Deep in Bradbury's, The Day it Rained Forever. It's incredible. Again, the style is of another time, but man, Ray could write.
Best,
Rob

And mine, and their children 💕
Spook Street by Mick Herron is #4 in the wonderful London-based Slough House spy series.
4.5★ https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Really enjoyed this book.
Finished The Sins of the Fathers by Lawrence Block. The first entry in the Matt Scudder series and it is pretty evident why Block is held in such high esteem among fans of the genre. Rating - 4/5.My review - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
. A modern thriller again with its angst. I reading it now. Like the descriptions of the cruise. Just getting into the mystery now where she thinks a body fell off the ship!
Just finished Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania
and need something short and funny. I think I will start The Invisible Code
.
Just started my second Claudia Pineiro: Thursday Night Widows and love the way she slowly develops suspense and tension with a minimum of words.
A Cold Day in Hell by Lissa Marie RedmondBefore and Again by Barbara Delinsky
After Anna by Lisa Scottoline
I'm finishing up The Deep by Nick Cutter.
Listening to THE PUNISHMENT SHE DESERVED by Elizabeth George
Finished The Woman in the Window by A.J. Finn. Lots of hype about this one but does not live up to it. Shallower and stupider than it pretends to be. Rating - 3/5.My review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
It is the book of the month as selected by the group, hope more of you will join the discussion.
I'm currently reading PD James's "Devices and Desires" I liked Martin Shaw as detective Adam Dalgliesh in the TV series.

I finished reading/listening to Resurrection Bay
by Australian author Emma Viskic. Here is my review:

Just finished Heart Failure by Richard Mabry. I didn’t like it as much as his other works but at least it kept me entertained.

I believe it's intricacy on how the British string their words together. Just an opinion.....
I am currently reading Mary Higgins Clark "I've Got My Eyes On You"
Finished Burning Angel by James Lee Burke. So far I have sung praises of Robicheaux series in all of my groups but this one did not work for me. Magical realism and gritty crime does not mix well together. Rating - 2/5My review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
