Charm

Went to the chippy for dinner tonight. Boy am I sorry now Chippy food is always nice at the time but awful later

Oooh thanks for the link Raven! I didn't know about that!

Wow I just saw this thread! Great idea Ceinwenn ... a little homage to our deliriously dazzling, but totally demented Dexter . Isn't he just wonderful! I so can't wait to get the next two in the series!

Funny the synopsis to this book sounded great, I'm not surprised you chose it. Think I'll give it a miss though Thanks for the warning

Ahhh ... makes perfect sense now . I did consider gory to mean bloody, but now that I think about it that would make some of the Dexter books not gory at all, yet I would also say they were gory as in horrid! Does that make sense? I do hope so! (What are we like!! )

You're right there ... Dexter could certainly teach him thing or two! (Is it me or is Dexter popping up everywhere? ) Me too Heather and Patricia is usually good for it too.

Aw poor Frankie! It is funny! Perhaps it would sound better as No? Nice to hear your mind is so active when cleaning your teeth!

Well I know that You can slice things up in a tidy way you know ... hello? Dexter?

Oh? Gory? Its just moved up my list a good bit.

I heard the same, but I'd still like to hear her take on it. Besides as lexie says, nobody really knows who the ripper was so Cornwell could be right! Right?

I will indeed. As soon as I get to it ... its a rather long TBR list

I've read all her Scarpetta series apart from the latest 'Scarpetta' (although a good friend of mine has it and I'll probably borrow it ) and have loved them all. I have to agree that Kathy Reichs is very similar (I've read all hers too ) but I find I enjoyed them both. I've also got her 'Ripper' book on my TBR shelf!

I did indeed. Can't rate it highly enough! Oh do ... its great! You won't be sorry you made this one last add! Read it next! You'll love it!

Na na na na naaaa! Told ya!

Me neither. I don't think they'd live up to all the hype now . My 15 year old son even asked me was I gonna read them ... and he hardly reads at all!

The Blue Nowhere ~by~ Jeffrey Deaver was highly recommended to me and then sent to me from Ceinwenn for the World Book Day swap on the forum. I finished it a few days ago. Synopsis courtesy of Waterstones Someone is killing people in Sacramento Valley. Seemingly unrelated, the deaths are perpetrated by a murderer who knows everything there is to know about the victims - who can kill them because of the intimacy he seems to have with them. An intimacy which is created by his ability to track their every move through the virtual world, as soon as they switch on their computer. Streetwise cop Frank Bishop is detailed to the case, allied unwillingly to a young hacker, Wyatt Gillette, who is sprung from prison to pit his brilliance against the criminal's. But no one knows who to trust in an environment where everything is suspect, and pressing the wrong letter on your keyboard may mean death. This is the novel that will make you hesitate every time you click on the box that says 'Are you sure you want to send this over the Internet?'. This book is about a computer hacker who's machine world totally merges with the real world in his head. He is a strategy game fantatic, where killing orcs and others is a standard, in fact the more the better, but when he becomes addicted to a game called Access where the game characters are people and not fantasy characters like orcs, the line between computer life becomes deleted and he starts to kill real people. The police need help so they enlist a convicted computer genious to help. This book really surprised me. I have read The Broken Window by Jeffrey Deaver which is also about computer crime but this was different somehow. It was very fast paced and kept me really interested to see what was going to happen next. One minute I had an idea who the bad guy's partner was and the next I was totally flummuxed! In the end it was a complete surprise. A computer crime serial killer read may sound a bit uninteresting but this was far from dull. It was written with enough suprises, twists and turns to keep me turning the pages as fast as I could and it was educational to boot! If it wasn't for normal daily interruptions, I'd have finished it a lot quicker. I'm so glad this was the book I recieved and am really looking forward to reading the other books on my TBR shelves by the same author, he gives Tess Gerritsen and Richard Montanari a run for their money IMO. A well deserved 10/10 Thanks again Ceinwenn

I'd pay good money to see that!!

Oooh this is a good read Heather, hope you enjoy it!
