Best reads - Club Together Book Club?

Patmau, have you tried S.G.Maclean? Set in Cromwells time. Haven't read the second one yet, The Black Friar, but on my to read list.

Onto my 3rd of the Lacey Flint detective series, written by Sharon Bolton. As with any such series the reader must start with the first of the series....Now You See Me. They are just that bit different. I might just continue with the 4th one provided we've got it in the van.

Having seem the two Jack Reacher films I read Night School while on holiday. An excellent gripping read, I couldn't put it down, almost a detective story as the hero and friends find the clues to find (and dispose of) the baddies. Lots of action as well.

Will certainly look out for those.  Seems like my cup of tea, or in my case coffee, as I don't like tea, lol.

Recently read Scoundrel by Bernard Cornwell.  A definite page turner that kept me guessing right to the end.  A very old but well written thriller.   Published 1992 I think.

Presently reading Ian Rankin's Saints of the Shadow Bible [Rebus-detective].  Didn't watch the TV series nor have I read other Rebus based books but am finding this a good read.

N, I found all the Rebus books good reads. You should read the whole series in sequence to appreciate them fully. Have you read any Stuart McBride's Logan McRae books based round Aberdeen, another series to be read sequentially, starting with Cold Granite..

nelliethehooker - will certainly take a look your suggestions thanks.

I have been reading the Clifton chronicles. By Jeffrey Archer. 

Looking forward to getting my hands on John Le Carre's "Legacy of Spies", just out.

Does anyone listen to radio 4 Book at Bedtime? I caught the tail end of Adrian Mole aged 13 3/4 last night, I had forgotten just how laugh out loud funny it is, all those characters, Bert and his dog, Mr Lucas (fighting with Adrian's father in the front garden) Pandora and Barry Kent....going to catch up on iplayer as it was a new reading and very good.

This was an antidote to another book I'm reading, Travelling to Infinity by Jane Hawking (The Theory of Everything film was based on her memoirs of life with Stephen Hawking) it is a rewrite of a previous book where she let rip about how difficult things were for her and reading this book I can see why.

So Adrian Mole won last night!
