"Cold Treachery" by Charles Todd. it's #7 in his Inspector Rutledge series, now reading #8. Usually reading more than one book at a time, so also reading Year of No sugar by Eve Shaub and Head First Design Patterns

I LOVE these (and the Bess Crawford ones, too). I have started reading the Donna Leon mysteries--I enjoyed the ones I have read of those so far.Originally Posted by akapulko2020

Although I must say I loved the Maisie Dobbs series more ( by Jacqueline Winspear). Hope there will be more books in that series ...I LOVE these (and the Bess Crawford ones, too).

Re: What Was the Last Book You Read?
So many of you are into mysteries! Do we have any Mary Monica Pulver fans?
Online arguments are a lot like the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
As soon as the audience begins to participate, any actual content is lost in the resulting chaos and cacophony.
At that point, all you can do is laugh and enjoy the descent into debasement.
Re: What Was the Last Book You Read?
love that book. reads like an action movie. Stephenson's stuff is awesome, action packed and erudite.

I just finished John Katzebahch's Just Cause. Katzenbach writes some great novels.
Re: What Was the Last Book You Read?
Stephenson is a FANTASTIC author. I re-read Cryptonomicom every couple years as its such a fascinating read. I need tonread it again soon. REAMDE was quite good and inshould probably reread Anathem soon as well. He is such a smart author, i frequently find myself keeping a dictionary close by when I am reading one of his books.love that book. reads like an action movie.

Re: What Was the Last Book You Read?
Cryptonomicon was the worst for the big words I think. The mere collegiate dictionary wouldn't do, I had to keep the 25lb encyclopedic tome on hand. I haven't read reamde or anathem but I believe I've hit just about everything else...Stephenson is a FANTASTIC author. I re-read Cryptonomicom every couple years as its such a fascinating read.

Re: What Was the Last Book You Read?
For you Sherlock Holmes fans (or devotees), you might like A Slight Trick of the Mind by Mitch Cullen. It was also one of my favorite books last year. It's a great meditation on fathers and sons, loss, etc. It's sort of a book that uses Sherlock Holmes as a character in order to explore aging and loss. They have made a film of it with Ian McKellen as Holmes, and it is due to be released sometime this year.

Re: What Was the Last Book You Read?
Not a genre I usually go for but when you read one, especially if it's part of a series, they just take hold. I've been reading the Matthew Sharldake series by C. J. Sansom over the holidays. Murder mysteries during Tudor times.
Dissolution
Dark Fire
Sovereign
Revelation
Taking a break from them before tackling the last two: Heartstone and then Lamentation.

Almost finished "Last days of the bus club" by Chris Stewart, Have to say as good as it is, it's no 'Driving over lemons"
We look forward to the time when the power of love will replace the love of power. Then will our world know the blessings of peace.
