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?

I have just forced myself to finish reading (by skipping great chunks) "The Fear Index" by Robert Harris. I found it very disturbing and unsettling. I knew it would be difficult to get into - complicated stuff about financial markets, bur persevered as I usually like Robert Harris.

So, just a warning, it's a very disturbing (and in parts nasty) story.

What next for me? Something light a fluffy I think!

I read "Awakening" by Sharon Bolton a couple of years ago and have just noticed it's currently £0.99 on Amazon kindle. It was quite a good read from what I remember and I like Ms.Bolton as a writer.

I recently discovered Rhys Dylan's DCI Evan Warlow books. (Somebody here may have recommended them.) They are set around Carmarthenshire and I’m hooked.

Book 8 - A Body of Water is currently available on Amazon for 99p.

Thanks for the heads up, TW. I will keep my eyes open for the first in the series, as I much prefer to start with the opening book, rather than jump in part way through.

The first book, The Engine House, is currently £1.99. I’ve been lucky and caught them all at 99p, or free with Prime, so far. Once I know I like a series, I snap them up when they're on offer then try to read them in order.

I remember seeing it in order TW but wasn't too sure about getting it, as I already have probably more than I will ever get round to reading in the next couple of years, and by then all the other authors I follow will themselves have published more! It's a never ending cycle!!😆

I am not really into fiction but I appreciate these posts so I can pass them onto Margaret as I am sure she would be interested.

One of her best! I think. And much much better than the television adaptation. More depth
