Best reads - Club Together Book Club?

Don't tell me the ending! I've got it on order from the library. It will probably wring me dry.

Just finished a James Lee Burke novel, The Jealous Kind, and fjnnily enough now reading one written by his daughter Alafair Burke, The Wife. Completely different. 

I won't Wherenext, hope you enjoy it, I'm only half way through at the moment.

  I'm also reading book 9 in the DCI Ryan series by LJ Ross which I find very enjoyable.

Just started Peter Robinson's latest DCI Banks novel "Careless Love". I like his style of writing and his musical references, classical and rock. I always feel a bit disappointed by the TV adaptations though; the characters never seem quite the same as the book versions. 

I agree, Moulesy. I was doubtful about trying PR's books because of the TV series but found the books far better than TV. 

I downloaded about a dozen of them onto my Kindle not long ago when they were on offer at 99p each. Woo-hoo!

I too have read nearly all of PR's books to date, in fact just read When the Music's Over (No 23) this trip. It anyone has been miscast it's Stephen Tomkinson as DCI Banks. Watch the first one and gave up, nothing like the character in the book. 

That’s true, Nellie. I couldn’t place Stephen Tomkinson into the settings and plots of the book at all. The 'real' DCI Banks is a totally different character.

The think I like about the books is that I can identify the places used, and like to try and follow all the roads etc on the appropriate OS map.

I’m the same with Damien Boyd's Nick Dixon books set around Burnham in Somerset. I know the places where he sets the scenes.

When we were in the Hebrides I downloaded the first of The Lewis Trilogy by Peter May. As we were tripping around I was able to identify landmarks featured in the book. It adds something to the story.

I've just finished reading"The spy and the traitor"by Ben Macintyre can thoroughly recommend it especially if you like the sneaky beaky world of espionage. It asks some thought provoking questions, which makes it all the more compelling .

Just finished a really enjoyable, unputdownable, one off book by Walter Mosley, he of Easy Rawlins, fame. This one called Down the River Unto the Sea.

Anybody read and enjoyed the Easy series?
