Finished Ian Rankin's "The Impossible Dead". Never ventured near any of the Rebus series - TV version s put me off .. but the new series about Inspector Fox of "the Complaints" was excellent. Best UK police procedural I have read for a long time .. more please.

Just finished 'Already Dead' the 13th Stephen Booth novel
about Detectives Fry and Cooper.Set in a bleaker part of my own county of Derbyshire,these books are an object lesson to many writers,as to how a crime thriller SHOULD be written! Superb, as ever! |

Superb, as ever! ![]() I've just finished 'Say it with Poison', the first in the Mitchell and Markby series by Ann Granger. Nice straightforward crime drama - nothing fancy or innovative, but enjoyable nonetheless. |

Just finished I am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes- it was good, was really sad that it came to an end.
About to start The Skin Collectore by Jeffrey Deaver- I like Lincoln Rhyme books so am looking forward to it. |

Just finished The Target by David Baldacci. Its the third book in the Will Robie series and its easily the worst of the three. The first two were very good, so this book had a lot to live up to, and it doesnt quite manage it. This isnt a bad book, though - its a good read. However if you have read the first two books in the series, you may well be slightly disappointed by this book.

Just finished Alex by Adam J Nicolai (a free kindle download) - very thought provoking, and highly recommended if you like the paranormal/ghost stories/the unexplained.

Game of Thrones. I haven't read any fantasy in over a decade so not sure whether I'll take to it or not. The chapters are very short though so it should be easy enough to get through, bit by bit. By TV standards I'm only on about episode 3 of season 1!

Under a silent moon by Elizabeth Haynes.
I was looking forward to her newest offering but I'm finding it a bit hard to get into. |

I'm currently about 1/3 way through The Name Of The Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. It's the first in a trilogy with the last slightly worryingly yet to be completed.
I can't remember how this book got on my Kindle, I started reading it quite aimlessly really as I wasn't getting in to the book I had been reading. Really pleased I did, what a great story about a great story! Superbly written and different in a way I can't quite put my finger on from the norm in these fantasy fiction type books.. |

I'm reading Submarine by Joe Dunthorne. Very good so far and has had me laughing out loud a few times.

Last of the Summer Wine: The Inside Story of the World's Longest-Running Comedy Programme by Andrew Vine
Don't know why I purchased it .. 99p on Kindle probably. Never watched the programme until the last couple of episodes. But this book is a little gem. Excellently written and researched by a journalist .. so here we get an honest behind-the-scenes look at how Roy Clarke approached the writing of the series, the friction between actors, the true feelings of the locals of Holmfirth towards the filming and the bus loads of fans. Brilliant. This is a solid template for all showbiz type books. |
