Best reads - Club Together Book Club?

Yep, agree with you about Jack Reacher. Thought this about 3 books ago. Picking up his short stories on Monday from the library so a condensed version might be a better read.

Michael Connelly shows that you can still write about the same character time and again without going stale. This latest one is as good as any of his books.

BRUE - Just reading a book I picked up in a charity shop that I hadn't read before. By John le Carre, called "A Most Wanted Man". One of the main characters in it is Mr.Tommy Brue! As he's a wealthy banker I thought it must be a relative.

Just finished "The Dying Detective" by Lief GW Perrson 

Excellent read and unusually for Swedish Crime Fiction, it has a streak of humour running through it.

Am reading Ghost Girl, the second in The Detective's Daughter series by Leslie Thomson, having just finished the 1st one. They are both good reads but one does have to concentrate with then as that are bit out of the ordinary.

I didn't spot your post WN, unfortunately we only knew a spaniel called Brue, he was not a big earner. 

Historical novels are not my usual choice when I get books from the library but having watched The White Princess on TV towards the back end of last year I have enjoyed reading books by the same author (Phillipa Gregory) set in the same “Wars of the Roses” era. They feature notable women of that time & the part each played in the continuing sagas.   I found them interesting & easy to read.  They were The Lady of the Rivers, The White Queen, The Red Queen & The King Maker’s Daughter.  

For those of you who were hooked on the Netflix royals (I wasn't but I know my "disapproving of royalty" sister  was, strange that...) I have just read a book by Craig Brown called Ma'am Darling which is all about Princess Margaret's life. Craig Brown is a satirist and humorous writer so expect some witty comments and stories. The bit which made me smile the most was Picasso's true undeclared love for PM so there is a story of what might have happened if this union had occurred. It's a good read, revealing and repellent in parts with a touch of sadness as it ends. 

I recall reading him in the Independent when it first appeared and found him amusing so will keep it in mind.

ps a weird thing just happened, I'm listening to a radio program that was recorded earlier on today and the presenter has just mentioned The Royals and that Netflix series! Surreal.

Although I don't normally read historical novels I've just finished Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel, I thoroughly enjoyed it and it's made me want to read the second one in the trilogy, Bring up the Bodies. Will have to have a scour through a few charity shops to see if I can find a copy.

Just started reading No Better Friend by Robert Weintraub. It's about a POW and a dog who came together in a Japanese POW camp and their battle for survival. A true story. Not sure my emotions will get me through it.
