Just bought it on Amazon :love:

Yes, theres no violence in it though so might be a little tame for some.

My neighbour recommends books by Jo Nesbo if you enjoyed Stieg Larsson's books. He's a Swedish crime writer also. I think I'll give him a try.

Haven't read it myself but it's set sometime before it and fills in some of the history to the story I think

The Stand by Stephen King

make sure to get the uncut version, which is much better than the normal one(and 500 pages longer)

or the Dark Towers series by King.

Will definately buy this Kazanne, The Dad was totally forgotton in this horrific event. The CCTV footage of those older boys leading that little tot away is still etched in my memory, and the immediate thought that oh he is safe he is with some older boys, soon to be followed by the horrific reality, it is a crime I will never forget.

If you like gore, the Karin Slaughter books are good.

The Dark Towers. :worship:

The last book I read was Offspring by Jack Ketchum. I really enjoyed it. It's a horror one if you're into that, quite graphic though.

Ammi 18-02-2013 03:27 PM

:amazed:..I hope you enjoy it....it's quite a quick read as you'll see but the story is very powerful...

Niamh. 18-02-2013 03:28 PM

Yeah I could do with something short tbh, the last few books I've read have all been really long
