Book recommendations

I have still got a backlog of Kathy Reichs to read, luckily, but will add her new one - thanks Eileen!

I shall definitely be reading the new Dan Brown - I really like the pace of his books - a bit like 24 on the TV.

I have also got Margaret Atwood's newey The Year of the Flood on my must read list .............. busy, busy - one good thing about the winter months.

Oh, thanks for the info on Atwood; didn't know there was one out. I enjoy her, will check the library and put on hold if they have it.

I am reading books by Jeffrey Deaver at the moment - I just love his books!! and also Peter James - another of my favs.

I enjoy Deaver also; not familiar with Peter James but will look him out, thanks! Don't suppose he's P.D. James

, whom I love.

Hi Eileen, no not P D James, but if you like Deaver I am sure you will like Peter James

Just finished Karin Slaughter - fractured - really enjoyed. Murder who dunnit type book but kept me reading for a good while before I guessed who it might be.

Halfway through Kathy Reichs - Devil Bones, must look out for the nextone.

Library doesn't have the new Atwood yet; have put in a request for order. Got a Peter James on hold now. "Fractured" was good, IMO.

Thanks for the Peter James recommendation! Just finished his "Host"; excellent; have two more of his on hold now, "Possession" and "Twilight". I really do enjoy finding a previously unknown author that I like. Also the new Atwood is finally in the library system, I'm 12th on the hold list, so will be a while for that one. But not as long as for Dan Brown...I was 102nd on the waiting list, but have moved up to 44th now!

Two new authors I've recently found and enjoy:Peter James and Ariana Franklin. The latter has a very good series about a female physician (very rare in those days) in England at the time of Henry II; she's sort of a medieval detective/forensic specialist. If you like the Brother Cadfael books think you'll like these. The Serpent's Tale is the one I'm currently reading. Well written and a lot of fascinating detail about life in those days.

I am reading a Karen Rose book at the moment, last one I read was very good.
