I’m reading one called Fourteen Days by fourteen different authors–theme quarantined during Covid…
I have just finished a book by Frieda McFadden called “The Housemaids Secret” It follows on from “The Housemaid”.
Its an easy read, crime thriller-ish with a twist. I haven’t been reading for quite a while, so these two books have got me back into the swing of it now.

Just finished *Fourteen Days a collaborative novel by fourteen different authors. Premise? During Covid, residents of a rundown building in New York meet nightly on the rooftop to share stories.
Really interesting trying to guess who wrote what…some came as a surprise.
On my trip I have finished All the Light We Cannot See and Where the Crawdads Sing am currently reading Dark Music by the bloke that carried on the Millennium Series - David Lagercrantz (sp?)
The first two mentioned were excellent Dark Music I am only halfway through so can’t comment but I think it is better than his Millennium books
Acquired another Inspector Morse book quite reasonably from a NT bookshop when on a short holiday recently in Norfolk. Three stories in one book and a hardback. So have just finished the second ‘The Wench is Dead’. Morse becomes interested in a nineteenth century case which turns out to be a miscarriage of justice whilst he is recovering in hospital.

The reluctant Caregiver by Devon Ervin
I like to try different authors - currently I am reading “Too Much Trouble” by Matthew Doggett (not an author I have read before). Can’t say it is really grabbing me - the “hero” finds himself in the middle of a cartel war - but is himself a drug addict. I will keep going but unless it improves a great deal I won’t be buying any more by this author.
I just bought a Harlan Corben book Think Twice.
Have enjoyed so much of his stuff on TV that I thought it was about time I read one of his books. Picked it off the “New Releases” shelf
I am in the middle of a Val Mcdermid book at the moment but has anybody else read any of Harlan Corben books? Are they a good read?

Yes, been reading Harlan Coben for about 5 years now. A lot of his books are being made into mini series on the tv
He is good.

A couple of blurbs;
Utterly compelling
You won’t put this book down until the final shattering pages
I am 78 pages in of a 341 page book. Nothing has grabbed my attention as yet. Though I will persevere.
