I'm just about coming to the end of Deborah Moggach’s book, Heartbreak Hotel. I found it a very enjoyable read and very amusing. But what should I read next? Any recommendations? 

I also wondered if anyone would be interested in a Club Together book club? According to a member survey earlier last year, reading is the most recurring leisure activity whilst caravanning. I know I’m a book worm and I’m sure there’s a few of us out there who enjoy a good read. Anyone interested or any suggestions?

Nellie – Picked up a Kate Ellis book based around Dartmouth and 50 pages in am finding myself reading Dartmouth for Tradmouth, Torbay for Morbay  etc.  seems OK so far.

Also read another of Lin Anderson’s books.  This one mainly based on Isle of Skye with references to Afghanistan and finished the 4th  book by Toby Clements - Kingmaker Series which I enjoyed .  Still waiting for Corfe Castle Murder book but a Marbeck book I ordered is on its way to our library.

For those that like detective novels with dark undertones the first of writer John Connolly's  Charlie Parker series, Every Dead Thing, is available for 99p on Kindle at the moment. A very well written series but does get rather disturbing as one goes from book to book, and should be read in sequence.

Managed to get my hands on the last in series, to date anyway, of Caro Ramsay's series featuring Costello and Anderson, The Silent Conversation. 

Has anyone read "King Richard: Nixon and Watergate"? It's supposed to be one of the best new books about the scandal, focusing as it does on the last 100 days inside the White House. Sort of non fiction book I think I'd like as I enjoy seeing politicians and cohorts skewered on their own lies.

Now you are just trying to make me jealous, WN, but at nearly £13 I'll give it a miss at the moment. I haven't got the one before that either, but will in due course, hopefully.😄

Just finished the latest Jack Reacher tale, "Better Off Dead" but have to say that, like the last couple of episodes, I found it rather disappointing. I guess there's only so many ways a guy who must be in his 60's by now can single handedly take on and disarm 4 heavily armed bruisers at a time! Don't think I'll be rushing to get the next instalment, the series has definitely run out of steam. frown

Just finished Dead Man's Sins by Caimh McDonnell.

An hilarious laugh out read. The sort of book you delay reading too quickly in order to maximise the extraction of happiness.

Yes, it's really annoying when someone does that isn't it?😂😂😂

I remember I mentioned Belinda Bauer a while ago, and as one of her novels Rubbed Necker is at 99p at the moment I thought I'd give it a try. I think that Moulesy had said that he had read most of her books so I wonder if this might be one he has not read?

Yes, I read that one some time ago, Nellie - can't just remember if it's one of the three featuring a detective on Exmoor?

Currently reading a new (to me) author - "The Other You" by JS Monroe, features DI Silas Hart based at Gablecross in Swindon. Lots of local locations near the K&A canal - an easy enough read, slightly more complex than some detective stories.
