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?

Wherenext - The Rachel Maclean book appears to be a good choice so hopefully I will not have to wait too long for it.

Nellie – Have made a note for future reading of your recommended authors after checking our library catalogue briefly and finding they have books by them except Ellis Griffiths but they do have some Elly Griffiths.

Takethedogalong - Have added the Red Prince to my list as John of Gaunt and his descendants have often featured in the historical novels I have read.

Thick finger syndrome or predictive text, sorry, you are of course correct.

Just started reading the latest DI Charlie George, and yes he is an Arsenal fan, written by Colin Falconer. Only the 4th. in the series but just out. Enjoyed the first three.

Thought that I'd have a change from the police/detective books that I've been reading recently so have just finished Emma Healey's Elizabeth is Missing, a novel who's main character is an elderly lady with dementia who believes her best friend is missing, as per the title. Moulesy, if Mrs M has not read it I think she would find it to her taste. The novel was adapted for TV with Glenda Jackson in the lead role of Maud, a worthwhile watch.

My current book is the second in C K (Caihm) McDonnell's Stranger Times humourous supernatural mystery The Charming Man. If anyone has read any of his 5 (+ prequel) Dublin Trilogy books you will appreciate the type of humour in this series too.

Finished the book (almost record time for me). Really enjoyed it. DI George has a sharp line in deprecating humour, mostly aimed at himself. A storyline where you can actually empathise with the "bad guys".

Bought a book from BookHub tonight. Luke McCallin Where God does not walk which is the fourth in a series. First three obviously kept me interested. £0.99 via the link to Amazon Kindle.

Nellie, I notice that Amazon have sent me an email stating that the "short story" featuring Poe&Bradshaw has landed in my library! Yahoo. Hope you remembered to order yours.

WN, and other who like Craig Robertson. He has a new book out, under the slightly different name of CS Robertson, The Undiscovered Deaths of Grace McGill, and it's at 99p at the moment on Kindle.🤓

Thanks Nellie but I've not long read it from the library. Bit different from his other books. Still undecided about it but did finish it.

Well I will give it a try. I do like something a little different at times, but I have a couple of JD Kirk to go at first.
