What We're Reading

LUCY BURDETTE: I don’t usually read hard boiled mysteries and detective fiction, but I have read all of Michael Connolly‘s Harry Bosch books and most of his others. I just finished DARK SACRED NIGHT, which alternates points of view between Harry Bosch and Connolly’s newer character, Renee Ballard. Harry Bosch may be growing gray and gimpy, but he hasn’t lost his powerful drive to avenge the underdogs who need him most. Ballard is a perfect foil – damaged, misunderstood, and loaded with heart. Connolly also does a stellar job of exploring the tensions women face when they call a man on his behavior in a man’s world. I enjoyed the book very much. The only thing that really bothered me was that the characters work the night shift and never sleep!

I absolutely LOVED the novel from Laura Lee Smith called THE ICE HOUSE, which won the Florida Book Award for fiction last year. Though the book is on the long side, my interest never flagged--I only dreaded the moment where I'd turn the last page. The author has a gift for breathing life into her characters, both the main narrators (a middle-aged married couple) and the less central quirky but endearing characters. She also did a marvelous job of bringing two very different settings to life--Jacksonville FL and Glasgow, Scotland. The plot was rich with twists--an estranged son, a brain tumor, a failing family business, middle-aged regrets--that never felt forced. Though the writing was lovely, it never drew attention to itself. Loved it!

And two other quick notes so I don’t hog the stage: I wait eagerly for each new release from Elinor Lipman. GOOD RIDDANCE was a fine addition, charming, funny, and heart-warming. Ditto for Barbara Ross’s Maine Clambake mysteries. I love visiting the Maine town she’s created and her cast of quirky characters, all present in her latest installment, STEAMED OPEN. 

JULIA SPENCER-FLEMING: Right now I have three categories of recent reads: upcoming, already out, and beloved rereads. For the first, I recently finished Joseph Souza's PRAY FOR THE GIRL, coming out this May, which was the sort of dark and dirty small town with secrets mystery I love. Joe's written a genuinely unique and cool heroine; I've asked him to come to JRW when the book is out and talk about it.

Current reads: I'm working my way through the CRAZY RICH ASIANS trilogy. If you have fond memories of the sex and shopping soap operas of the seventies and eighties - novels like SCANDAL (Judith Krantz), LACE (Shirley Conran) and DECEPTIONS (Judith Michael) you will love Kevin Kwan's books. There's humor, there's emotion, there are eye-popping luxuries lovingly detailed. Great escapism,

Beloved re-reads: I'm enjoying Lois McMaster Bujold's World of Chalion series for the umpteenth time. As in her science fiction, Bujold centers women (often older, fully mature women!) and unconventional, not-traditionally-masculine men in her stories. Chalion, an alternate version of 15th century Spain where demons and gods interfere with human lives, is a refreshing change from the eighteen hundred fantasies based on the British Isles and Scandinavia. 

JENN McKINLAY: I can't tell you. No, seriously, I can't. I'm finishing up my reading for the RITA (romance writer's award) and I can't disclose the titles. Bummer, I know. Not gonna lie, some were a slog, some were meh, and a few were delightful so a mixed bag, for sure. In addition to those titles that shall not be named, I've been listening to Jen Sincero's audio book You Are a Bad Ass. Highly recommend! It's fast, funny, and super motivating! 

RHYS BOWEN: Very little reading going on at the moment as I focus on finishing the first draft of my Queen Victoria novel. Maybe 30 pages to go! I've tread a couple of Agatha Christie comfort reads: Funerals Are Fatal and Peril At End House. I did read Jenn's next book,Word to the Wise, which I loved. And I am about to read Kate Quinn's The Huntress because it sounded so fabulous when I was on a panel with her.  Once that first draft is done there will be binge and catch up reading!

HANK PHILLIPPI RYAN: Yes--I just read for the Edgar best first, and that took a lot of time! SO pleased with the choices, though. And frustrating that I can't discuss! But books I can happily and delightedly recommend The brilliant Sophie Hannah's brilliant :-) THE NEXT TO DIE--complex and beautifully structured and surprising and so quirkily funny. And actually even inspirational. She's a whiz at incredible dialogue--I mean, astonishing. I know I am being inarticulate, but it's wonderful.  I'm also reading her new Poirot, which is going to be great.  And the incredibly fabulous Carol Goodman, I am now in a total binge, reading THE OTHER MOTHER  and THE WIDOWS HOUSE (one book upstairs and one book down)  and then I am going to read every single word she's ever written or will write.  

And in non-fiction, the riveting RED NOTICE by Bill Browder about the rise of the Russian oligarchs. Amazing. Terrifying.  And oh, Katy Tur's UNBELIEVABLE, about when she covered the 2016 presidential campaign. MUST READ, reds! (Also amazing and terrifying...)

DEBORAH CROMBIE: I just finished our Jenn McKinlay's upcoming WORD TO THE WISE which was such a treat! Great setting, wonderful characters! After that, the new Elly Griffiths' Ruth Galloway novel, THE STONE CIRCLE. I'm such a fan that I ordered it from the UK--couldn't wait until it comes out in the US in May--and it was as good as expected. I love these characters so much, they are so human and real. Now I'm reading the new Peter Robinson Alan Banks novel, CARELESS LOVE, so enjoying Banks and Annie and the team and the Yorkshire moors. Up next on the nightstand, THAT CHURCHILL WOMAN by Stephanie Barron. And on my Kindle, Michelle Obama's book and THE ALICE NETWORK. I could go on and on but instead I'm going to look up THE ICE HOUSE:-)

HALLIE EPHRON: I've been reading books by two Icelandic noir authors -- Yrsa SigurdardÓttir and Ragnar Jonasson, boning up for meeting them and interviewing them about their writing for an event at the Scandinavian Cultural Center in Newton next week. We were in Iceland last year so there's something wonderfully familiar, reading their books. Familiar setting, fantastic prose and storytelling, and sooooo dark. Must be something in the water up there. I also just finished WORD TO THE WISE and my word to wise readers is you're in for a treat! My TBR pile is teetering.

LUCY: I really wish I could be at that panel, Hallie! Even though I say I don't prefer dark books, for some reason I love the Icelandic writers. Okay Reds, what are you reading? What should we not miss?

  1. Don't miss Michelle Obama's book, Becoming, if you are at all a fan of our former first lady. It's not nearly as political as I thought it might be, except in the sense that an intelligent woman who finds her voice is inherently political. I loved it.

    A Friend Who Shall Remain Nameless has loaned me a pile of ARCs she had on hand, so I have happily gulped down Jenn's new Library Lovers mystery, A Word to the Wise; Rhys's The Victory Garden; and am now into Charles Todd's Black Ascot. All wonderful! On deck is Elly Griffiths' The Stranger Diaries.

  2. I enjoyed “Dark Sacred Night” too, Lucy.
    My recently-read books have all been wonderful: Gary Sinise’s “Grateful American,” Rhys’s “The Victory Garden,” and ARCs of Carol Baxter’s “The Fabulous Flying Mrs. Miller” and Megan Goldin’s “The Escape Room.” Right now, I am reading Amy Rivers’s “All the Broken People” . . . .

    2. “The Fabulous Flying Mrs Miller” recounts the exploits of Australian aviation pioneer Jessie “Chubbie” Miller who, although perhaps less well-known than Amelia Earhart, was nevertheless a contemporary of the accomplished aviatrix and who was one of the most successful women competing in air-racing circles. Along with many of the women pilots of the time, Jessie was one of the founding members of The Ninety-Nines, the non-profit international organization of women pilots. Among Jessie’s many accomplishments, she was the first women to first to fly across the equator, the first woman to fly more than eight thousand miles, and the first woman to become a test pilot.

  3. I love getting all these suggestions from Reds and Readers!

    I'm reading Sara Henry's A Cold and Lonely Place and really enjoying it, as well as Rhys' The Victory Garden, which is great so far. Up next is Charles Todd's new book, and Rhys' post from the other day made me want to go back and reread an Agatha Christie. Maybe Murder at the Vicarage. I haven't read that one in a while.

  4. I got to read Michael Connelly's Dark Sacred Night early since I got to review it for Mystery Scene. And I just loved it: https://www.mysteryscenemag.com/blog-article/6308-dark-sacred-night

    As for what I'm reading, I'm in the midst of the Aimee Hix novel "Dark Streets, Cold Suburbs". I liked the first book so I've been looking forward to this follow up. I'm not sure what's up next for me after that.

  6. I am now reading Jack Finney's FROM TIME TO TIME which I thought I had previously read but maybe not since it is not at all familiar. Of course I read his first time travel book many years ago.

  8. I've been on a fortunate run of awfully good books lately. I loved The 7 1/2 DEATHS OF EVELYN HARDCASTLE by Stuart Turton, which is kind of Groundhog Day meets Agatha Christie. You see the same day unfold through the eyes of eight different characters.

    I have also ventured out of my mystery comfort zone and enjoyed some other types of books lately: FLAT BROKE WITH TWO GOATS is a memoir by Jennifer McGaha about how she and her husband lost everything and found happiness living in a ramshackle cabin in Appalachia. THE ROSIE PROJECT by Graeme Simsion is the sweetest romantic comedy -- it stars a 39-year-old professor with Aspergers Syndrome who launches The Wife Project to try to systematically find an appropriate partner. Hilarity ensues. I also thoroughly enjoyed Neil Gaiman's THE OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE, which I don't know whether to call science fantasy or magical realism, but it was definitely engaging.

    I am now reading Kate Quinn's THE ALICE NETWORK and am about to start ROBIN, by Dave Itzkoff. I always admired and enjoyed Robin Williams, and I have read the most glowing reviews of this biography.

    3. The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle ended up being one of my favorite books last year. Like Liz, I was a bit lost at first, but what a reward for staying with it. I love unique books and it was indeed one!

  9. Julia, The Girl loved CRAZY, RICH ASIANS.

    I've got two things going on. Bruce Robert Coffin's BENEATH THE DEPTHS on my iPad. When the iPad needs to be charged (or I'm taking a bubble bath), I'm re-reading David Eddings's The Mallorean series and I'm on the last one, THE SEERESS OF KELL. I read these way back in college and I still enjoy them. However, I've discovered that Eddings (and his wife, Leigh, who helped write all his books but didn't get cover credit until much later) is in love with the word "peculiar" and all it's forms. In almost every case, you could delete "peculiar" and the sentence is absolutely the same. Talk about a crutch word!

  10. Feeling under the weather here, so last night reached for some comfort 'food'--Agatha Christie's The Moving Finger, thanks to Rhys's earlier post. Looking forward to getting quite a few of the books mentioned here this morning--The Ice House sounds especially interesting. Thanks, JRW!

  11. I love getting all these reading suggestions! And our mystery group discussed THE ALICE NETWORK in January. Such a good book! I've got THE HUNTRESS to read soon. Also will discuss KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON with another book group next week. What a book! And I'm very quickly listening to a short collection of stories by P.D. James called SLEEP NO MORE for yet another book group discussion tomorrow. Just finished one story about a girl who loves graveyards. Loved it. I've got THE STRANGER DIARES by Elly Griffiths (who I love, love, love) to read as well. Oh, and I just finished THE SILENT PATIENT by Alex Michaelides yesterday. I liked that one pretty well too. Love it when I'm in a good reading patch.

  12. I appreciate the suggestions of What we're reading and I' m looking forward to reading Michael Connelly's Dark Sacred Night.
    I loved Rhys's The Victory Garden.
    Recently, I read Donna Leon's The Waters of Eternal Youth, a commissario Brunetti's series. It was my first and it was not enough. The setting , the police work, the way of life are intriguing and different from what I'm used to. So I'm reading more of those.

  13. I am so glad that you are exploring Carol Goodman, Hank. I've been advocating for her for a while now. Her debut, THE LAKE OF DEAD LANGUAGES, is phenomenal - as were the next few books. Then somehow, I lost track of her until THE WIDOW'S HOUSE was nominated for the Mary Higgins Clark Award. Then I quickly caught up on every book I missed and now I won't let that happen again. In fact, I have a review of her newest THE NIGHT VISITORS coming up on BOLO Books soon.

    And Julia, it was so nice to be reminded of Judith Michael. Along with those Jackie Collins, Barbara Taylor Bradford, Judith Krantz classics, I loved DECEPTION (such a clever idea back in the day). I had no idea Judith was a husband and wife writing team. Oh, and I also agree about the CRAZY RICH ASIANS series - just delightful.

    1. I completely agree about Carol Goodman's THE LAKE OF DEAD LANGUAGES. I discovered her a couple of years ago and have not completely read her backlist. I'm working on it though. Can't wait to read THE NIGHT VISITORS.

      I also agree about being reminded of Judith Michael and Barabara Taylor Bradford, etc. I loved their books - especially the Emma Harte books. Have not read the CRAZY RICH ASIANS books yet, but one day.

  14. I just finished up the second book in the Auntie Poldi series by Mario Giordano, AUNTIE POLDI AND THE VINEYARDS OF ETNA. This is a terrific series, set in Sicily, with a sixty-something sleuth who loves to drink and finds as much romance as she does crime. It'll make you want to move to Italy.

  15. I was on a jury too - best unpublished - and was buried under a mound of submissions, lots of quite bad books but a few real standouts. Now I have lots of catching up to do. I started with PF Chisholm's most recent in the Sir Robert Carey series, Suspicion of Silver.Excellent addition to this outstanding historical series. And I have a stack of books waiting that aren't even new anymore.

  17. I'm reading LITTLE COMFORT by Edwin Hill. It's up for the Agatha for best first and is really good. Hard to put down. But it has more on-page violence than I'd expect in an Agatha nominee.

  18. I just finished I.M., Isaac Mizrahi's memoir. You don't have to be a fan of fashion design to enjoy this one--Isaac writes beautifully and has been a talk show host, singer, writer and performer in a one-man show (he graduated from NYC's Performing Arts High School), as well as a familiar face these days on QVC. I love the fact that more than half of the book is about his childhood and school days. He built a puppet theater in his basement as a child, making the puppets and all their clothes (self-taught) as well as writing the scripts.

    I just started THE BURNING ISLAND by Hester Young, which I'm sure I'll love if it's as good as the two previous offerings in this series.

  19. Margie, that sounds fascinating. I've heard Mizrahi interviewed and he seemed smart and funny.

  20. I am so far behind on Michael Connelly. Slowly catching up, but it will take me years yet. Well worth it.

    I just finished a middle grade fantasy novel. THE REVENGE OF MAGIC by James Riley is a lot of fun. No surprise since I’ve enjoyed his other series. Now I’m reading DROWNED UNDER by Wendell Thomas. So far I’m enjoying it.

  22. I have a stack of library books I had requested that all came in at once. And two NetGalley ARCs to read. And some books I bought. Hyperventilating here. I just finished Mary Balogh's Someone to Trust. I enjoy her books; there is a lot of thinking and considering going on in her stories, as opposed to action. This book involves a friendship that develops between an older woman and a younger man. I read Lucy's A Deadly Feast. I wanted to sing Etta James "At Last" when I was done.
    Loved Victory Garden, Rhys! I did read Forget You Know Me after Jessica Strawser visited the Reds. Yikes! Coming up courtesy of the library: Jenn's The Good Ones; Sulari Gentill's Gentlemen Formerly Dressed; Arsenic With Austen by Katerine Bolger Hyde; Abir Mukherjee's A Necessary Evil; Ausmet Zehanat Khan's A Deadly Divide. I owe so much to the Reds, to Dru Ann, and others for finding so many fabulous new-to-me authors! Must be why I'm hyperventilating. So many books, not enough time.

  25. Can't believe I forgot to check in this morning! I blame the time change. I just finished Paula Munier's A Borrowing of Bones and am in the middle of Luz Mugavero's Murder She Meowed. Next up is reading JD Robb's Naked in Death - since I've never read any of her! And A Literal Mess, another Kensington cozy set in Brown County, Indiana. Plus, Rhys reminded me about rereading Christie, so I'm going to dig into the collection and read one.

    ReplyDelete
  26. First, I want to comment on some of the Reds' reading, which happens to coincide with some of mine. Hank, I've just started reading Carol Goodman, too, and she has sent me The Night Visitor so I can read and review it before it comes out. I've only yet read River Road, but, like you, Hank, I plan on reading all her books. Rhys, I just bought Kate Quinn's The Huntress the other day, and I'm going to try to fit it in my reading schedule soon. Debs, I'm sure you know what a fan I am of Elly Griffiths/Domenica De Rosa, and I have run my review of The Stone Circle on my Reading Room blog already to coincide with its UK publication date. I'll run it again in May for the U.S. date. Like you, Debs, I am so emotionally invested in the Ruth Galloway characters that I have to remind myself they aren't real.

    My current and immediate future reading is partly driven by reviewing, but I'm making a concerted effort this year to fit in other reads, too. Right now, I am finishing up the amazing Daughter of Moloka'i by Alan Brennert (Hank, did you meet him in Florida?). Brennert's novel Moloka'i is one of my favorite books ever (out in 2004), and this new book continues the story to a new generation. Moloka'i was the island that people diagnosed with leprosy or Hansen's disease in Hawaii, particularly Oahu, were sent to, or banished to, beginning in the 1860s and continuing for a century. Over that time, at least 8,000 men, women, and children were sent there, most who lived out their lives or died in the Kalaupapa settlement. My dream of visiting the island came true a few years ago, and it was wonderful. You can only go with a tour company and go where they take you. If you see residents (some still live there, though no longer with Hansen's), you aren't allowed to take pictures. All of this is to respect the privacy of those who live there, including those who work there. The book Moloka'i is the story of an eight-year-old girl who gets sent to Moloka'i. Daughter of Moloka'i is the story of her daughter, who was, as was the practice, taken from the mother as soon as born and sent to an orphanage on Oahu.

    My reading after Daughter of Moloka'i will pretty much revolve around my reviewing schedule, but that is lots of great reading, so it's all good. So, my books will include Drowned Under by Wendall Thomas, Border Line (Gia Santella #8) by Kristi Belcamino, The Night Visitor by Carol Goodman, and Scotch Soda by Catriona McPherson. Ones I'm hoping to fit in sooner rather than later include The Man with No Face by Peter May, Gallows Court by Martin Edwards, No Exit by Taylor Adams, The Next to Die by Sophie Hannah, and The Psychology of Time Travel by Kate Mascarenhas.

  27. Rhys's The Victory Garden, of course, which was lovely. Also, Joshilyn Jackson's The Opposite of Everyone. I don't know where her writing comes from, but she always surprises.

    Other recent reads:

    Reread SnowFlower and the Secret Fan, by Lisa See. My pick for a recent book club meeting. (I'm almost the only one who enjoys mysteries, but I was sick of A) science fiction/dystopian fantasies, and B) male authors.

    Hemlock Needle, by Keenan Powell, which was great.
    The Art of Inheriting Secrets, by Barbara O'Neal
    Eine Kleine Murder, by Kaye George (reread this, because I'm now reading the next one, Requiem in Red)
    The Grave's a Fine and Private Place, and The Golden Tresses of the Dead, the last two books in Alan Bradley's Flavia de Luce series.
    Little Comfort, by Edwin Hill
    The Weight of Ink, by Rachel Kadish--a really good read.

    After Requiem in Red I'll either read the Crazy Rich Asians trilogy, or Naked in Death, by JD Robb.

    Have you all read How to Start a Fire, by Lisa Lutz?

  28. Oh, I love the what people are reading topic--and I end up with yet more books to seek out! My current reading is The Widows of Malabar Hill (Sujata Massey), Death in the Air (Kate Winkler Dawson) about the great smog in London in 1952. I believe this was a suggestion here on one of the last what are people reading topics. And The Bar Harbor Retirement Home for Famous Writers (And Their Muses) (Terri-Lynne DeFino), which is very, very funny! I'm also listening to Elly Griffith's Stranger Diaries at home and in the car, Aaron Elkin's The Dark Place. I do like his Dr. Gideon Oliver, but the character's sexism can be a bit tiresome. Ah well. I guess the 1980's were not quite as enlightened as I might have thought.
