Aussie Lovers of Crime/Mystery/Thriller/Suspense discussion

With our first challenge, there will be some new authors that we are all reading. Plus our quarterly reads for those who haven't read them yet...

I hope to read Cooper Bartholomew is Dead by Rebecca James
Deadly Obsession by Karen M. Davis
A Fatal Tide by Steve Sailah
Amnesia by Peter Carey
Death on Dangar Island by GP Field
Bones Never Lie by Kathy Reichs
and I'm sure there will be more!

I am currently reading The Saturday Big Tent Wedding Party by Alexander McCall Smith and I have R is for Ricochet by Sue Grafton to follow. These are both library books so take priority.

Then I plan to read Elvis and the Dearly Departed by Peggy Webb and Aunt Dimity's Death by Nancy Atherton for our mystery challenge.

That's a lot of mystery for this month :)

I've started reading Bones Never Lie by Kathy Reichs and am enjoying it!

I'm currently reading 'Blind Eye' by Stuart MacBride. I love his novels.

I haven't read any of his. Could you recommend a good one to start on Marian?

I recommend, 'Portrait Of A Killer' (Jack The Ripper Case Closed) by Patricia Cornwell.She helped establish the Virginia Institute of Forensic Science/Medicine.
Compelling and authentic-it is the account of how she solved one of the worlds most famous murder mysteries.

Am now reading Of Merlot & Murder by Joni Folger. Is the second in a cosy mystery series set in a winery (match made in heaven) it is due out this week.

Good day Brenda. I started with 'Flesh House' his MC's are repeated throughout his books, so you get touches of humorous one liners along with the gore. 'Cold Granite' and 'Shatter The Bones' and riveting reads. You can order them on Amazon, and even 'download,' some of his books. Happy Reading.

Sounds good. Wine improves with age, and I improve with wine. :-)

LOL! True - well that's what I keep telling people anyway :)

My doctor said I should have balanced meals. So I have a glass of wine in each hand. (only kidding). :)

I'm about to start Death on Dangar Island by GP Field

I started to read R is for Ricochet by Sue Grafton but just couldn't get into it so gave up just before page 50.

Needed a mystery title that starts with R for my Yahoo mystery group so located one by an Aussie author: Resorting to Murder by K.J. Emrick.

Is part of a series - not the first - but reading in order is not a must do for me so will not be a problem. If I like it there are around 12 others so will be able to work my way through them.

Bad luck about the Sue Grafton one Sally!
