The Lost Daughter - Diana Chamberlain.

Okay, I'm a bit behind others who have read this, but it was truly brilliant.

And so out of the genre that I usually read.....i.e. thrillers, mystery and suspense.

I got a new Kindle and she was in the top 5 reviews on Amazon, so I downloaded it for £1.00.

It's the best pound that I've ever spent.

Ive dug out and rediscovered my desmond bagely books...just finished running blind and the freedom trap... really good not ott spy books.

anyone remember the tv dramatisation of running blind?... think it was on in the early 80's?... ( memory not that good)

1974 - David Peace.

First part of the Red Riding quartet. Starts off brightly enough, but soon descends into a deeply risible 'hard men' potboiler with far too much thrown into the pot. Bent coppers, bent press, bent local authorities, serial killer with secret lair, Charles Bronson revenge flick ending. All set in Yorkshire with lots of the Bay City Rollers. I enjoyed The Damned United and GB84, but this twaddle I couldn't take seriously. And there's three more.

Stolen Child by Laura Elliot

Just finished that - bit undecided, didn't find the later part of the book worked as well as the earlier part

Finished Jo Nesbo's The Devil's Star .. top class thriller again from the Norwegian maestro.

Just started The Woman In White due to recommendations on DS.

Just started Finn Family Moomintroll

Freedom Jonathan Franzen, only about 20 pages in but hooked. Hope that lasts

He really is ace, isn't he? I can't wait for the release of The Leopard later this month.

I'm reading Engleby by Sebastian Faulks at the moment. It's much better than the previous two Faulks I read.

My Childhood by Maxim Gorky - The first book of Gorky's autobiographical trilogy. Just started it and so far it's very good indeed.

Tooth and Nail- Ian Rankin.

I got into the series late and have started going back. Got a lot of good'uns for Christmas

Escape - James Clavell

Alternating between Memories Of Ice by Steven Erikson, and Alex Cross's Trial by James Patterson and A.N.Other.

Alone in Berlin - Hans Fallada

Working my way through Tanya Huff's Blood Ties series of books (on which the TV series appears to be very loosely based) as a guilty pleasure before starting Ken Follett's Pillars of the Earth and/or Iain M Bank's latest

moab is my washpot, ive just read, bloody enjoyable book.

Echo Burning - Lee Child. I'm finding the Jack Reacher books compelling and I don't really understand why. All the ones I've read so far have had ridiculous plot lines, and I've noticed some of the dialogue is repeated throughout all of them.

Just finished that, absolutely loved it.

Really enjoyed that book too, so many little gems of stories throughout.

Cowboy & Wills by Monica Holloway

Anne Rice - Interview with the Vampire.

Lee Weeks – The Trophy Taker. It's excellent.

Waking the Witch - Kelley Armstrong

I've just finished Robin Hobb's "Royal Assassin", the second in the Farseer Trilogy. It is an excellent read! I'm really looking forward to reading the third in due course!

Just started Robert Goddard's "Dying to Tell" but too early to tell if it's one of his good ones.
