Hey, mystery fans....looking for something good to read?
At the March Just Desserts meeting, after discussing our monthly “assigned” book, we did a round robin at the table, asking attendees to share what mysteries they’d been reading lately that they felt they could recommend. Here’s a list of the novels that were hot this month with this mystery-savvy crowd:
-
Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn
-
The Case of the Substitute Face by Erle Stanley Gardner
-
The Silent Spirit by Margaret Coel
-
The Doomsday Key by James Rollins
-
The Cat, the Quilt and the Corpse by Leann Sweeney
-
The Ian Rutledge series by Charles Todd
-
The Scotland Yard series by Deborah Crombie (who will be Author Guest of Honor at the upcoming Mayhem in the Midlands mystery conference in Omaha, May 27-29, 2010)
So…what mysteries have you been reading lately that you’d recommend?
One other series that Just Desserts members were reading in March was another Alaska-set series, this time by Stan Jones, featuring State Trooper Nathan Active. The libraries own the first and fourth in this series, but not the 2nd and 3rd.
