What Are You Reading 2

That Jack the Ripper book she wrote was complete pants. Talk about trying to make the evidence fit the suspect.

I like Patricia Cornwell when she writes the Scarpetta series.

Or I did, until she made Detective Pete Marino do something rather nasty.

Terrible stuff Bouncy

Only crime stuff i really read is John Connoly's Charlie Parker series (bloody forgot there was a signing in Dublin last night )

About to start Heresey by SJ Parker. Takes place in Spain/Elizebethan England. Trying to be open minded as I do like CJ Sansom (Henry 8th).

Just starting The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch. One of the Top 50 corgi books. So far reasonably funny enough to read on bus, train or underground without startling people with your laughter!

Pip, if you like Historicaly correct books Try the Elizabethan stories by SJ Pariss. Excellent, hard to put down, and the Hero is a gem!

I've been reading Kate Mosse's Labyrinth, but can't seem to finish it - everytime I leave it for some time, I lose the plot completely, and then I have to re-read some stuff just to make sense of it.

Been looking for a good easy-read German book, cause I'm trying to learn some German and I don't fancy learning words one by one, so I need to find myself a good novel.

 

[pip]

Quite enjoyed Labyrinth and the sequel Sephulucre and her other book The Winter Ghosts.
You do have to keep going to keep track of the book but The Winter Ghosts is a much easier read than the other two.

Just finished the Lies of Locke Lamora. I liked it but somehow thought it would be Pratchetty. Pratchett it is not, probably more The Godfather meets Oliver. Good read, nicely written.

 

[Antiq]

The second book of the Song of Fire and Ice series.

It's funny, I find him a mediocre writer in many ways, but it's still a ripping yarn and I can't put it down

Mediocre is a bit Harsh. He has a straight forward style . Simple but effective.
