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?

Thanks Wherenext.    Will check in our library when am next there – possibly in a week or so as  I’ve a number of books to keep me going just now.

N108, she also does a series with Alexander Seaton in it but I can't get to grips with that one. It's also historical.

Wherenext - Had to order S G MacClean books – 1 featuring each character as our library had none on the shelves.  Just finished Daniel Silva’s latest book.  The story was very topical, featuring Israel’s ‘secret service’, money laundering (Russians) and Covid gets a mention.   Will take a look at Panorama’s program featuring ‘Pandora Papers’ on iplayer when time allows as it appears to be about offshore dealing so could be interesting.  I did find the book a bit heavy going at 1st.

Listening to A Good Read on Radio 4 tonight and they were praising a book which should appeal to those that liked Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club, which I've not read yet but might try this one Exit by Belinda Bower.

Nellie, that's Bauer. I've read a couple of her books and enjoyed them from memory.

Just picked up an interesting looking book from the library that was recommended to me by one of the librarians, knowing my taste.

The Fine Art of Invisible Detection by Robert Goddard. It's a stand alone like most of his books. Holiday reading sorted for me with a few on Kindle if I don't like it.

I've read all her books, Nellie,  very good they are too. I have "Exit" sitting on my kindle, it was on at 99p some time ago, not sure if it still is.

Another good new writer is Holly Watt, just bought her 3rd book "The Hunt & The Kill" also on for a couple of days at 99p! Her series features an investigative journalist Casey Benedict. Some dark themes but good reading.

I've just started Joanne Harris' latest, "A Narrow Door", described as a "pyschological thriller" set in a faltering public school. Follows on from her previous two "Gentlemen & Players" and "Different Class" which I think you'd have to read first to appreciate the characters although they're all described as standalone novels.

Looks like I've missed it at that price, M, but will keep my eyes open for that and others by her and the other two authors you've mentioned. Thanks for the heads up.

Will also look out for the Robbery Goddard on too, WN.

Read/liked the writing style & character of Damien Seeker in Destroying Angel by S G MacClean so will try more of the series.  Thanks for pointing me towards them Wherenext.

Glad you liked it N1805.

Maybe try John Pilkington. First book is The Rufflers Child. I've just got book 3.

Finished reading The Fine Art of Invisible Detection by Robert Goddard. Had to force myself past page 50 or so but glad I did. Quite a good plot.
