dex Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 I've just finished,The ice princess - Camilla Lackberg. I enjoyed it ,but with the christmas break I just didn't feel like reading it. I liked the characters of Patrik and Erica. As usual in cop fiction there's a bumbling boss and quite a few other stereotypes. I look forward to trying the rest.

dex Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) Well, after a fun night of insomnia I've reached page 188/422 of Prime time by Liza Marklund. I'm enjoying it so far. I enjoyed reading this, it was like those Agatha Christie stories where there is a fixed group of people and a remote location and one of them is the killer.

Timstar Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Some great books Dex! Looking forward to seeing what you make of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 Thanks ,Timstar. I'm Suffering with too many annikas in my life at the moment. Liza Marklund has got a main character called it, There was an error in my version of Prime Time, Where a character called Anne gets called annika. Also in the Camilla Lackberg books there's a police officer called Annika. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vodkafan Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 This may be a sign you are going to marry someone called Annika. Or perhaps run an Annika over in your car or connect some other way. Maybe worth checking the bookies dex- is there a horse running called Annika? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dex Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) I saw that Jo Nesbo's , Phantom is out now in paperback. I stopped up last night to finish Prime Time which I enjoyed. I going to go straight out to buy Phantom and will start it immediately. I'm enjoying it so far, This time it's that someone wants Harry out of the way and for a change it's doesn't seem to be a serial killer. I enjoyed Phantom by Jo Nesbo, it's more in the style of The Redbreast than The Snowman or The leopard . He seems to have put away his need for a serial killer for now.

Ooshie Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I saw that Jo Nesbo's , Phantom is out now in paperback. I stopped up last night to finish Prime Time which I enjoyed. I going to go straight out to buy Phantom and will start it immediately. I have bought Phantom as well; I don't think it will be my next read, but it definitely won't be long before I start it!
