Nelson Demille’s John Corey series
I’ll check it out, thank you!
I just read an article by Nelson DeMille. He said him & John needed a break so he wrote The Cuban Affair. But John Corey will be back. Yea !!
Can’t wait!!!?
Me too ! Too bad he didn’t say when…
@Bobbi I don’t mind as long as Corey comes back ??
Hangman by Jack Heath. Very good read. Couldn’t put the book down.
Thank you, I hope it to be really unexpected.
@Stuart honestly it keeps you guessing. I really couldn’t figure out who the killer was until the end. It actually surprised me

The Historian is not your typical detective book but it is riveting and mysterious just the smae
Same.

The fourth monkey.. by j d barker
@Shanu listened to the sequel on audio, my library sent me the ebook & I liked that better. Fifth to Die is great. Can’t wait for #3. Started his Dracul last night. No spoiler alerts!
@Bobbi bad thing fifth to die is yet not available in India. I am desperate to read it.
@Shanu do you have a library & a card ? You can get the ebook. My library has Overdrive, rbDigital & Hoopla . Suggest it to them.
Well I have kindle and e book is available there. I just want paperback, for every story that I want to treasure and show off on my little library.
@Shanu I understand. But it’s worth the read.
@Bobbi Wil wait. I m sure the paperbavk will soon hit the stores..
Thank you all guyz, really.
