dex Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 (edited) So I've finished The Rosary girls, It was a good book as was The Echo man. I did find it got a bit slow in the middle , but I enjoyed it overall. I'm now reading The Skin gods. Edited November 3, 2012 by dex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dex Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 Having read Steig larsson and Jo nesbo and some wallender novels. There must be some other good european authors who have been translated into english. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 I've just bought The echo man by Montanari and. Blood brother by Kerley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poolmonkey Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 I`m reading Broken Angels by Montanari. My neighbour gave me a big black bin liner full of books - and this is one of them. I`d never heard of him before and I have to say I`m a bit bored and I`m nearly half way through. Have I picked the wrong book of his to start with ? I haven`t even looked at the other books. I just decided to pick one out at random and this was it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 (edited) It's reminding me of a Colin Bateman book I read and enjoyed, Although I'm only 100 pages in. Someone known to the main charachters has been murdered and now they really have some motivation. There probably is a bit too much concentration on the new guys Amish beliefs and handy coincedences, but I like it so far. Just about to start part 3. Still haven't finished it, got about 30 pages to go. I've really enjoyed this set, It's not Jo nesbo but it is good. Recommended.

dex Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 Having finished Red wolf by Liza Marklund and enjoyed it. I'm now reading Exposed which is set and written before it, but seems to be published over here, After it. Like the Harry hole series. Not sure if Bomber is out yet or not.

I've also just bought a Mary burton book called Before she dies and I finally have my own copy of Stuart macbrides, Birthdays for the dead. Red wolf was the better of the two I've read by Liza.

dex Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 I've just finished the Bomber by Liza Marklund, I enjoyed it more than Exposed. I think it's as good as Red Wolf. I'm going to read vanished next then Headhunters by Jo nesbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 Just bought The stranger by Camila Lackberg, Will start her after Headhunters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 The trouble with the Marklund series, is that I've read them in all sorts of. order. One moment she's married with kids and others she's single and has a grandmother. Other than that I have enjoyed the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 I've just finished Jo nesbo's - Headhunters. I enjoyed it despite it being a 1st person, because it only used one viewpoint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a murder mystery and really exciting, I enjoyed it a lot.You can read it in English obviously [it came out in 1992 but think you could still get hold of it.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
