What book are you reading?

Murder of Crows by Anne Bishop. This a re-read.

I've occasionally considered Coben but I read the covers and they don't really appeal...but I've seen a couple Netfix versions of his books that were compeling and fascinating. Maybe I should give him a shot?

I wasn't sure about Coben either at first, but I always wind up enjoying his stand-alone books. Oddly enough, I've never read one of his very popular Myron Bolitar books.

I don't have Netflix, but I saw the French version of "Tell No One" when it was released years ago. What a great film! It's free with Amazon Prime, so I'm planning a re-watch.

I really enjoy his Myron Bolitar series; they're a good mix of mystery, humor and likeable characters.
I'll have to check out the free prime video of Tell No One. I've read it but I've read so many of his books I get them kind of mixed up until I read their description.
Another author that has a similar style of writing is Linwood Barclay. I've only read a few of his books(He doesn't have nearly as many as Coben)but what I've read, I liked.
Another author I've really liked is Lia Gardner, haven't read a bad book yet, always ends with a twist.

I like twists but sometimes I find some writers go in with this thought that the HAVE TO HAVE a twist. And it's irritating. Some stories are straight forward and good...some writers undermine themselves. And writers who depend on it...meh. I didn't get the hype on The Woman on thr Train...it was just okay.

I'll have to try one of the Bolitar books. Definitely post if you watch "Tell No One." I think you'll like it. [I know this is a book thread, but I have to mention one more film that I loved: "I'm Not Scared" ( https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0326977/ ). I remember being on the edge of my seat, literally, in the movie theater.]

I'll have to check out Barclay and Gardner. I've heard of them but don't think I've read any of their works.

I would suggest reading Gardner books in order of publication. A lot of her books will give you the background from the previous book. There are also two main series with hers. Detective D.D. Warren or FBI profiler Quincy.

Mr Mercedes, Stephen King

I will check it out.

Just started “A Man Called Ode”

Is that A Man Called Ove? I read that one. I almost didn't read it...the first 10 pages or so were very difficult for me as I lost my sister to suicide 5 1/2 years ago. It was worth it though.

Yes sorry, typo.
I’m so sorry for your loss, I can’t begin to imagine.

I think I’m only 4 pages in so far, but I’ve heard wonderful things.
