Following a very short conversation about the recent Jack Reacher/Lee Childs film, I glanced to see if blonde had a book thread..

It does now....fill free to share........

My son got the 1st Jack Reacher book, so that'll be my first book of the thread to feed back on!

1st recommendation would be for the series by Patricia Cornwell - no-one beats her for the subject.

Dr Kay Scarpetta books are a great page turner to coin a phrase.

1st book in the series "Postmortem" was around 1998, and is the start of Kay's introduction.

We did have an unofficial one, didn't do much. Would this be a fiction book thread? I only read non fiction, however probs makes sense to make this a fiction book thread.

Any reason why it can't be both?  Wasn't aware we had an unofficial thread - forgive my newbieness - what's the difference?

Nah no difference, yours just looks better.

Good thing about Lee Childs Reacher series of books is that it doesn't matter too much if you don't read them in order some series of books.

I used to like the Kathy Reich series of books (which bones is based on, though as usual books much better than the tv series)

This could be a great thread, well done Waz.

Personally, I am with Mr Shoelace, non- fiction only, but there is room for both.

Mr Waz. If you like Patricia Cornwell then you should check out the Lynda La Plante books about Detective Anna Travis they are extremely good. I don't seem to like many female authors but those are all excellent.

Mr Hector, I had heard of this previously, a nice timely reminder. Thankyou.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

Enjoyed it far more than the original.
