Best reads - Club Together Book Club?

Managed to find a Philip Kerr book with one of my favourite "cops", namely Bernie Gunther on Kindle deals for £0.99. It's one of the earliest ones, March Violets. Also picked up a Lisa Gardner one at the same time and price, Never Tell.

Just got it, thanks WN, also got the 4th in the series, The One From The Other, for the same price. Will have to keep my eyes open for 2 & 3 at that price now!!

I've just completed the the latest of the Charlie Parker series byJohn Connolly..The Woman in the Woods. However it does look as if I've missed the previous one.

The first couple of Kerr's Gunther books haven't rounded the character out and smoothed off his rough edges but I still like his attitude.

Haven't tried the Charlie Parker books. Will try to find the first ones. Getting a bit of a backlog, but all good.

You definitely need to read the Charlie Parker books in order as they follow on. There are some great characters but it's quite "dark". If I can find the first one I'll keep it for you, unless of course you get it first.

Managed to pick up Caimh McDonnell's Book 3, Angels in the Moon Light  on Kindle deals today. Will have to wait its turn though.

Only just spotted your post, but fortunately it's still at 99p so got it tonight. Have also purchased the first 6 Philip Kerr books, and have nearly finished the first one. Thanks WN.

I noticed that Philip Kerr passed away last year from cancer. He apparently managed to complete his valedictory Gunther book which is due out this year some time. The books do get more interesting as Kerr seems to get more confident in his ability to develop the character as opposed to trying to sound a bit like Dashiel Hammett would in the first couple of books. Certainly worth perservering with as you seem to be.

Have finished the first one and just started on the second....will persevere with a few more I think.

Nellie - there's a new Charlie Parker book just out, "A Book of Bones" - picked it up this morning from out local library. It's a big, big book though so I'm saving it for our next trip away. Also picked up the latest from Ian McEwan "Machines Like Me". 

Thanks, M. As our daughter is a fan I'm sure that she will have spotted it, and it will arrive at our house sometime with a load of others that she's bought and read.
