Best reads - Club Together Book Club?

I’ve been reading a series by Rebecca Tope - lightish mysteries based in the Lake District. Very flimsy - I’m only reading them as I know the places. And the endings are rushed and cobbled together. I’m glad I didn’t spend money on them - all borrowed from the library via BorrowBox. 

The book's Missing and features PC Craig Hunter.

Decided that as I'm saving all those CLs fees I might as well splash out on this so hope I haven't wasted my £0.99. Always prefer to start at book 1. If I like his style of writing I'll explore his other works.

Ta for that Nellie.

Borrow Box has really come in handy for me during this lockdown. Just halfway through a spy story from the Gorbachev era and have one that is due in on 10th.May. 

I'm re-reading my Phil Rickman collection. Everything from the Merrily Watkins to John Dee to the Will Kingdom novels ( my personal faves featuring Bobby Maiden and Holy Grayle but only 2 of them😢). Don't know if I should be concerned that I can't remember what happens in most of them but at least I don't have to spend any money on new stuff........😂

We've got them all too, just waiting for the next in the Merrily series. However it could be a long wait as Phil has been very poorly, from what I think was a heart attack. Do you do Facebook, as there's a Phil Rickman Appreciation Society (PRAS) group on there, and his own web site too of course.

 1st May....monthly deal day on Kindle....We've ended up with a few that we've been waiting for, including Denzil Meyrick, Rachel Abbott, M W Craven, and the start of a new series by Peter May, but to name a few!!

I'm not on Facebook but I saw something recently online saying he'd had "an elf stroke", which I took to be a stroke😢

So sad, he's one of my favourite authors and he actually replied to an email I sent him once asking if there would be any more "Bobby Maiden" books (he said his publishers "preferred" him to keep doing Merrily but encouraged me to place Amazon reviews for Will Kingdom to show there was demand:which I did😊), I was amazed and have saved his reply for posterity!

Try his web site then, there are some grand things on it. I'm waiting to wear my Gomer T-Shirt.

I've been dithering about ordering one but you've convinced me! We'll recognise each other at a CL site someday😂

Just spotted that Amazon have loads of the Roy Grace series by Peter May, set around Brighton, on sale for 99p each today. A good series for anyone liking well written detective stories.
