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?

Big fan here too, especially of Vera.

(Not to spoil things but there's usually a murder)

I think the Vera books are far better than the TV series, 'Pet'.

The same goes for the Shetland and Two Rivers series.

For me, I liked the Vera TV series more, but I think I came across them before I'd read any of the Anne Cleeves books and enjoyed recognising places in the North East. I still do if I see repeats of Vera.

My sister has given me a crime book written by a friend of hers, I'll let you crime buffs know if it's any good! smile

Wherenext- Thanks for posting re Andrew Taylor books, have made a note to check at our library.  Still waiting for Fossil Beach Murders (Rachel McLean) Have read a couple of other books by her featuring Det Zoe Finch found them to have more gruesome crimes.

Having seen a post here about an Andrew Cotter book I picked up his Olive Mabel & Me book which I enjoyed as it featured the dogs & hill/mountain walking in Scotland which brought back memories.

DEBSC – I guess you’ve probably read Phillipa Gregory books – they came to mind as they made TV program.  Alison Weir books may be of interest – I’ve not read any but have seen them in Library.  I tend to fall back on Michael Jecks & Paul Doherty books if I don’t see anything else though I read modern spy/thriller/crime books.  You could check Fantastic Fiction site where you can filter by category.  Hope you find an author to suit you.

Some help would be really appreciated. I have read all the CJ Sansom books and loved them, I love history, especially tudor history. I like a crime but that’s not essential. I have read some of the Pariss books as well. Can anyone recommend anything? I need a new ( to me) author to read.

Depends what you also like in a book. Try JD Kirk, or Stuart McBride, or Carl Ramsey, or for a bit of humour Caihm McDonald, or for something darker, and American, John Connolly, or if you want cosy English mysteries Rebecca Tope or Kate Ellis. For something different have you tried the Merrily series by Phil Rickman? Lots more suggestions available!😁
