Forensic physician Dr Anya Crichton is on the trail of a violent serial rapist. When two of the women are later found stabbed to death in apparently frenzied attacks, police suspicion immedialtely falls upon Geoffrey Willard, recently released from twenty years in prison for the brutal rape and murder of a fourteen year old girl. Unravelling the forensic evidence, however, Anya's just not sure... That sounds like a great book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madcow Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 Finished Without Consent last night and really enjoyed it, definately up there with Karin Slaughter and Kathy Reichs. For those of you who like 'crime' novels I would recommend Kathryn Fox. My next read will be Novembers reading circle book Atonement by Ian McEwan.

madcow Posted December 28, 2007 Author Share Posted December 28, 2007 Well this last few weeks my reading mojo has been, to put it mildly, PANTS! Only read a few pages of Atonement then got the 'can't be bothered to read any more' feeling, managed to read And Another Thing by Jeremy Clarkson which was hilarious. Got a James Patterson audio book from the library and tried to listen to it but gave up after 6 attempts (I never got past the first cd!) it kept sending me to sleep. Popped into the library yesterday and came home with Mia Dolan's first book The Gift, half way through it and enjoying it a lot. Also another Clarkson book Born To Be Riled and Lauren Weisbergers' The Devil Wears Prada. Hopefully they will kick start my reading mojo back into shape. I was hoping to have read 50+ books this year but alas it is not to be. I will aim to do this in 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angerball Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Madcow, your reading mojo sounds exactly like mine has been for the last few weeks. I blame the silly season. I'm also hoping that the new year will bring on a 'fresh start' for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weave Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Happy reading Madcow x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcow Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 Finished The Gift this afternoon, an enjoyable easy read to help ease me back into the swing of things. I love anything psychic. Not sure what to read next will have to go away and think about it..... That brings my total for 2007 up to 44. Not a bad effort but I will try to beat it in 2008.
