I've been recommended The Kind Worth Killing by Peter Swanson...only just started it but think it has promise and it gets good reviews.

thanks :) I looked at Elizabeth is missing, it looks like a really good story but i don't think i could read it as my father had alzheimers so it would be too close to home for me.

Will have a look at the others.

Despite myself i downloaded the second cormoran strike book, despite wanting to jump on my kindle after reading the last one, its easy to read and at the moment thats what im looking for.

I hated Elizabeth is missing.

I just finished The Ice Twins which parts I enjoyed and parts a bit close to home as I have identical twins!

I was worried about the elizabeth is missing because my grandmother had alzheimers but a friend whose father currently has the disease said it wasn't a problem for her. I liked the book (I know many didn't). In fact the alzheimers is dealt with in a quite empowering way, if that makes sense, as it's down from the sufferers point of view.

Have now finished The Kind Worth Killing - it was great - really gripping with plenty of twists and turns. Definitely recommend that one.

Apple Tree Yard?

Perfect is a bit dull I thought. Shock of the Fall was good but not a thriller type book.

Apple Tree Yard was a page turner but some bits were very implausible.

I hated EIM too. I just found it bloody depressing. Had nightmares about having Alzheimers afterwards!

By the way, The Kind Worth Killing is cheap as chips in the Kindle store right now. Downloaded! Thank you!

Really, guilianna? I reserved it at the library yesterday. What didn't you like about it?

I think I had sky-high expectations! it was an OK read, but not the wow next hot thing it was hyped as. You might disagree! it seems to me the real wow books come out of nowhere and don't suffer from that weight of expectation!

I'm reading The Last Letter From Your Lover and am enjoying it. I haven't finished it yet though, so it has plenty of time to get crap!

I didn't like The Mystery of Mercy Close at all.
It just went on.
I feel bad saying that because Marian Keyes comes across so nice in interviews and in her column.

If your still about I think you'd like The Sleeper by Emily Barr. Another train related mystery!
