Is that good? I enjoyed "Gone Girl" and I have "Dark Places" on my "To read..." list.
I struggled to get into it but then there were times once I had that I couldn't put it down. I'm not sure it will be one I re-read but it is worth a go if you can get it at a reasonable price 😊

Just finished The Marriage Game by Alison Weir. It's a book about Elizabeth I and Robert Dudley. I have to say that I have enjoyed her other books (innocent traitor was excellent) but this book left me feeling cold. Elizabeth really annoyed me in it.

I'm back to reading the Ruth Galloway series by Elly Griffiths, having randomly read a James Herriott book just for a complete change. The book I am reading now is no. 5 in the series, Dying Fall.

Just finished The Girl on the Train - quite liked it, but I clicked on who did what to who quite early, but preferred it to Gone Girl, which I disliked a lot and just wanted everyone to die, painfully.

Just about to start the first in the series that Murdoch Mysteries is based on - hoping to find another good series to work my way through

Sylvia Day - Captivated by You.

Finding it difficult to get into this one, having read the earlier books in the series and enjoyed them.

Bad Show: The Quiz, the Cough, the Millionaire Major arguing that the cheating major is innocent. I am convinced, so far. Interesting as to the lengths people used to go to to get on the show in the early years, too.
Charles Ingram, a major in the British army, became the third winner of the million-pound prize on ITV's top-rated Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? But his victory was short-lived.

After it was suggested that a fellow contestant had assisted by coughing to indicate the correct answers, he was stripped of his prize and charged with fraud. He and his wife Diana were both convicted. Ingram's life was in ruins. Once he had been a well-respected army officer; now he was described in the UK press as a man who was as publicly reviled as a mass murderer. He has always asserted that he won his prize fairly. Now, for the first time, Bad Show tells the complete story and examines all the evidence in order to explain exactly what happened on that fateful night.

Does anyone remember watching the actual program? I wasn't aware just how much their lives had been ruined so if he was innocent it would be a terrible miscarriage of justice and the enhancing of the 'significant' coughs by the sound engineers seems prejuidicial. But some of the comments from people on DM who watched the episode suggest the cheating was very obvious.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti....html#comments I didn't catch that episode so interested to hear impressions.

The Ghost Fields - Elly Griffiths - the 7th in the series featuring forensic archaeologist Ruth Galloway and DCI Harry Nelson. I have been reading them in order recently except for no. 6 which I accidentally read first. Gutted as this is the last for now - hope the author is beavering away writing another!

I'm reading Rainbow Rowell's Eleanor and Park and I'm absolutely loving it. YA has certainly moved on since my day! It's a lovely book that manages to be funny but affecting as well.

I've also started the first Game of Thrones book. Fantasy isn't usually my genre, but I watched the first series and liked it and decided to give the books a whirl. I must admit it's a bit of struggle. I've been reading it for three weeks and I'm only on page 120.

Polly Toynbee's new book which is a relentless deconstruction of David Cameron.

Let's just say....I am enjoying it.

What's it like? I was a fan of Steve in my teenage years and read his 2 autobiographies that were out at the time.

I've just started The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins, it seems to be the sort of book that people love or hate, I wonder which camp I'll be in.

I'm confusing myself cos I keep seeing books I like or recommended on here so I have started girl on the train, bought the stolen child but not started it and now downloaded From the Cradle on Kindle for one pound and started that.

I also have a few other books not finished and one or two more not started that I barely remember the names of

Kolymsky Heights by Lionel Davidson. A Cold War thriller (very cold as it's set in Siberia) about a secret Russian research station that's so secret nobody is allowed to leave alive. But someone gets a message out and an agent is sent to investigate.

I'm about half way through and, to use a cliche, it's a real page turner.
