Best reads - Club Together Book Club?

Thanks for the suggestions! 

We actually saw Shetland being filmed, so I might catch up with the mystery lighthouse scenes when I catch up. 

I think one of the weaknesses of the most recent Shetland series was that it was "based on characters" from the books, so really a spin-off,  rather than an adaptation of the books themselves. 6 episodes was also just a bit too long to maintain the storyline, but the acting was good and, of course, the scenery is outstanding.

For the first time ever, the TV series didn’t hold my attention this time. 

I wish there were more books as I’ve almost finished the list now.

We were totally hooked but I now know if I pick up the books characters like Tosh will be missing...wish I'd read the books first! 

But for those of us that don't read the books we don't have that conflict. Margaret is the avid book reader but I tend towards non fiction. I enjoyed the series that has just ended and I understand there is one more series to come, I assume taking up where the old one left off? Totally agree about the scenery, it almost makes you want to go. Rather different to a lot of the Scandinavian Noir TV series which rather puts you off wanting to go!

The very first one of Vera is on Kindle today at £0.99.

For Caimh McDonnell fans he also has one at £0.99. The new series The Stranger Times.

Read them both😁

Nearly all of the L R Ross series featuring DCI Ryan and based around actual location in Northumbria are on sale at 99p each in Kindle's December monthly deals. Of course the one that OH is after is not one of them!

Just started reading Mark Billingham's new book, Rabbit Hole.

A stand alone by the look of it, set in a Mental Institution. Um I can hear you all think but I've only read 3 short chapters and I'm hooked.

Another bargain offer:-

The first four books in the bestselling Scottish mystery Munro and West series by Pete Brassett,  on sale on Kindle for 99p in total.

If you are looking for some nice nights in reading, I can thoroughly recommend this super value series.

Thanks for that Nellie. Not read any of the books before but at £0.25 a book it seems like a bargain not to be missed.

My trumpeting of Mark Bellingham's book was a tad premature as it got bogged down after about 8 chapters. Suggest you read those and the last 3 chapters and you won't have missed much.
