    Finished The Little Old Lady Who Broke All the Rules by Catharina Ingelman-Sundberg. Trying to capitalise on the success of last year's Scandi best seller The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared. The Little Old Lady is an entertaining read but the plot slows down a lot after the halfway point..a great shame.

    Finished Hitch 22 - the autobiography of essayist and journalist Christopher Hitchens. Very interesting on several aspects of political developments over the past 50 yrs particularly his jysutification for the Iraq war. Alos good on his friendships with other notable writers such as Martin Amis and Salman Rushdie.

    Working my way through some of the Hamish Macbeth books by MC Beaton really enjoying them.

    Aw- a good friend, sadly now departed, lent me most of those, very inventive murders I remember :o

    Reading The Greenfinch by Donna Tartt, and wishing for once that I had a Kindle to read it on, it's very heavy.

    Two new books.

    Maddaddam by Margaret Atwood. Audiobook version. The last in a series of three. I know that some posters have been disappointed with this and am approaching it with some trepidation. Enjoying it so far, early days yet though.

    The Redemption of Alexander Seaton by Shona MacLean. Set in 1626 in Banff, Scotland, it's a murder mystery and the first of a series.

    Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte.

    I've seen a million adaptations but I've never read the book until now, which I'm rather ashamed on. I'm on chapter three and it's absolutely fantastic.

    Currently on book 10 of the 18 Lee Child 'Jack Reacher' novels. Mindless violence and a strangely believable 'hero'. I am sprinting through these at a fair rate of knots, and for a fan of simple (yet often quite complex) 'thriller' type books,these are pretty hard to beat!
    No serious moralising or preaching, and the hero is American, where the books are written by an Englishman.
    Best serendipitous 'find' I have made for years. No,not classic literature, nor earth shattering plots, but simply what a good book should be; a good read, that keeps you turning the pages!

    Just finished The Shock of the Fall.

    Cried my eyes out. :blush:

    A book everyone should read.

    I've just finished The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson again. I enjoy the old black and white film of The Haunting too which is slightly different to the book.

    When I read the book I'm never quite sure if it's set in England or new England like the film. As Jackson was from the U.S. I suppose it must be set somewhere there - not sure.

    I've just finished 'Lasting Damage' by Sophie Hannah (audiobook version). I found the mystery of it quite gripping all the way through but the ending really let it down - the big reveal of whodunnit was a bit of a daft confused mess.

    I've now started 'Into the Darkest Corner' by Elizabeth Haynes (audiobook version). Similar sort of thing - psychological mystery thriller where you aren't sure what's going on until the end. Quite enjoying it so far, although all the repetitive stuff about OCD checking is a bit dull.

    Karen Rose's Die For Me. I'm enjoying it and looking forward to working my way through a few more of her books. It's intriguing and entertaining.
