I have heard a lot about these Dexter books, so i have decided that i must read them! Are they a series that you must read in order? How many titles are there? And what is the title of the first book?

I was just wondering what everyone else thought of this series? I decided to start reading the series after seeing an article about the author in a magazine. The first book, Gallows View, made it seem like a promising start. I did quite enjoy the story, however, i did not like the character Inspector Banks due to his feelings towards another woman while being married, yet i felt the twists throughout kept me reading. There are so many people who could be the Peeping Tom, you just can't correctly predict the culprit till Robinson decides to reveal. The second book, A Dedicated Man, seemed to drag on a bit too much. It was set at a much slower pace, and i must admit, i was not reading as much as i usually do as the story was not gripping. It does not get exciting till the last third part of the story. I am now at the beginning of the third book, A Necessary End, and yet this again is not gripping enough. These books just dont seem to be the type where you feel you just can't put the book down when reading. Do the other titles in this series get any better? I like reading books that grip me from the beginning and make me want to carry on reading to find out what happens next, so far this series is just not doing that to me.

I decided to make my way through the Inspector Banks series by Peter Robinson. So far this month i have read Gallows View and A Dedicated Man. I am enjoying the series very much and just had the third book, A Necessary End delivered through the door ready to start next

Started reading Bare Bones by Kathy Reichs. A very good read so far!

Hi everyone, I actually bought a set of three of Kathy Reich's books a few weeks ago, I will be reading them next Thanks for the recommendations, I shall keep a look out for them. Yes, Bournemouth is a lovely place! And yes I am deffinitely a fan of a good murder mystery!

I thought I would introduce myself I decided to join so I could talk about books!!! I have enjoyed reading from a very young age and I now have too many books for my flat, this still doesn't stop me from buying more though :s I live in Bournemouth so love to sit on the beach reading in my spare time My favourite genre is Crime, I do read other genres as well. I am hoping to come across many recommendations within this forum so that I can try books from many different authors whom I may not have previously heard of I have many favourite authors: Karen Rose James Patterson Jo Nesbo Patricia Cornwell Karin Slaughter Stuart MacBride Tess Gerritsen Jeffery Deaver The list is endless ... Looking forward to talking to new people

As I can never leave the house without my book in my bag, I tend to opt for paperback when purchasing, purely for ease of transporting in my handbag

I will only ever lend books to my mum! Luckily I have never been asked by friends as none of them read books, I don't think I could trust them to return the book in good condition anyway, so them not asking makes it easier for me

I'm currently reading 'The Survivor' - Sean Slater. Had not heard of this author before, however my mum recommended this book and I am finding it to be very good, it is one of those that you just don't want to put down. Gruesome but a very good read! Would recommend if you are into horror
