I'm just about coming to the end of Deborah Moggach’s book, Heartbreak Hotel. I found it a very enjoyable read and very amusing. But what should I read next? Any recommendations? 

I also wondered if anyone would be interested in a Club Together book club? According to a member survey earlier last year, reading is the most recurring leisure activity whilst caravanning. I know I’m a book worm and I’m sure there’s a few of us out there who enjoy a good read. Anyone interested or any suggestions?

For those that have just discovered Stuart McBride ( or have yet to do so) the second one in his DS Logan McRae series, Dying Light, is just 99p on Kindle for today only.

thebells, have you tried any of the L J Ross books, starting with Holy Island. They are all set in Northumberland, around actual places. Faith Martin has a series of detective novels set in Oxfordshire, starting with Murder on the Oxford Canal.

This is the first time I have looked through this post, so forgive me being a year late in responding! I have become addicted to the DCI Ryan series by LJ Ross and usually get through two or three, on my Kindle, whilst we are away for a week.  I can relate to the relationship between Ryan and his DS and her novels always have an intriguing twist to them. Absolutely gripping.  It's best if you read them in order because it all makes more sense.

Ros has started to read them as well and has just finished Holy Island - so that's why we're booked into a site nearby, next May, to go and see if there's still any evidence of the bodies!!undecided

For Moulesy & those that have enjoyed Rachel Joyce's books The Love Song of Miss Queenie Hennessy is available on Kindle at the moment for 99p. I hope that it's as good as her others.

Just finished another good book by David Baldacci - Redemption.  Have 3 more to read by other authors one of which is No Middle Name by Lee Child.  Short Stories about “Jack Reacher’s” past.  I sometimes think my reading list will never come to an end as I often pick up a book ad lib from our library’s Quick Choice area thereby adding more authors whilst waiting for books I’ve reserved to come in.

Picked up a book from a charity shop yesterday that I haven't seen before even though it's nearly 20 years old. Written by James Lee Burke it's not one of his Robicheaux novels but a stand alone,  Bitterroot. Looks like being a £1 well spent.

I don't read fiction myself but Margaret loves her detective stories so I gave her the heads up on the DCI Ryan series as she had not come across them before. She is on her second book now and particularly likes where they are set. She had to power up her KIndle, which after a long lay off still worked!!! (even after all these years she still prefers a paper book!)

Thanks

David

I don't read a lot of fiction either but usually have something on the go, I've half read David Nicholls "Us" which is a good fiction read, especially if you like travel stories. But now I'm into non fiction again and I'm enjoying The Celts by Alice Roberts. smile

Both OH and I are both keen on the LJ Ross books, and today we visited the Penshaw Monument, as another of her books is based around that area. Just waiting for the book to drop to 99p on Kindle now!wink

I've just finished Margaret Attwood's "The Testaments" - the follow up to "The Handmaid'sTale" which I only got round to reading last year. It's a brilliant piece of writing - a truly frightening glimpse into a theoretical future totalitarian state. A worthy (joint) winner of this year's Booker Prize. Highly recommended  (but do read the earlier book first if you haven't already done!)

Now, new books from John le Carre, Robert Harris and Michael Connelly all on order from the local library - it's going to take a long spell of wet weather to get through that lot! laughing
