Recommend me a book
 

Anyone got any recommendations? Just finished You Like it Darker By Stephen King which was pretty good, I was going to read The Shining but I don't think I want to read another Stephen King book straight after

I know it's a controversial opinion but I didn't love the film version of that ^

:oh:

A landscape of frozen darkness punctuated by grim, gray days.
The feeling like a buzz in your teeth.
The scrape of bone on bone. . .
Paul Gallo saw the report on the news: a mass murderer leading police to his victims' graves, in remote Dread's Hand, Alaska.

It's not even a town; more like the bad memory of a town. The same bit of wilderness where his twin brother went missing a year ago. As the bodies are exhumed, Paul travels to Alaska to get closure and put his grief to rest.

But the mystery is only beginning. What Paul finds are superstitious locals who talk of the devil stealing souls, and a line of wooden crosses to keep what's in the woods from coming out. He finds no closure because no one can explain exactly what happened to Danny.

And the more he searches for answers, the more he finds himself becoming part of the mystery. . .

Oh I like the sound of that one, have you read it?

…I like Jodi Picoult stories, personally …but it’s a completely different genre…I tend to like ‘people’ stories…:laugh:…I also recently read the Rachel Joyce trilogy of ‘Harold Fry’ stories which I liked a lot…

Yes when I was on my golf holiday, iv read 3 other of his books he is very well thought of and has around 15 books

Ill look into those, thanks Ammi

Just checked and they don't have that on Audible, they have a good shot of his other books though, any other stand out one by him?

Have you read any Jack Reacher as they are great (and the tv series too)

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/...mL._SX342_.jpg

Killing Floor is the first book in the phenomenal best-selling Jack Reacher series by Lee Child. It introduces Reacher for the first time, as the tough ex-military cop of no fixed abode. Trained to think fast and act faster, he is the perfect action hero for when times get tough.

Margrave is a no-account little town in Georgia. Jack Reacher steps off a bus and walks 14 miles in the rain to reach it, in search of a dead guitar player.

But Margrave has just had its first homicide in 30 years. And Reacher is the only stranger in town. He seems the obvious fall guy. As the body count mounts, only one thing is for sure: they picked the wrong guy to frame for murder.

Now a major Prime TV series starring Alan Ritchson.

I watched a few episodes of the series and I did quite like it but it was one of those I just forgot to get back to

Metamorphosis by Kafka about a guy waking up one day transformed into a giant cockroach type insect

Sophie Hannah books are very gripping Niamh.

Shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction, Burial Rites is a dark yet thrilling work of
historical fiction. When a young woman is sentenced to death for murder in the remote
wilds of Northern Iceland in 1829, a priest is given the task of proving her innocence
and saving her life. With time running out, and the harsh Icelandic winter drawing ever
near, will Agne’s secrets be uncovered and her life be spared? Based on a true story,
with its sparse, atmospheric setting, and characters you feel like you can reach out and
touch, Hannah Kent’s Burial Rites is an unputdownable must-read.

Ohhhhh that sounds very interesting and it's on Audible as well. I think you must have similar reading tastes to me LT

Is it all Poirot stuff she writes?



:laugh2: Nah

Just finished Confession by John Grisham, never a bad story told by him, this one centres around the death penalty in Texas

Just bought the last book LT recommended but I might come back to that one, I like John Grisham

I would have sent it to you but my bro in law took it with him when he visited last week :laugh:

aw thanks, I download most books on audible these days though, I'm in the car a lot so I listen to them when I'm driving. It's a revelation for me, this audio-booking. I get through so many books and pod casts

Nope, she's done a lot more previous to the 3 Poirot ones.

Thanks, I'll look her up

Oh my, you and your new fangled ways, we were having this discussion as my bro in law has a Kindle and before that they used to holiday in Malta quite a bit so they would post books in advance to the hotel to save carrying them :laugh: I love the smell and feel of a book , might try audio just to see if I get on with it, what platform do you use?
