Remorseless... a British Crime thriller by Will Patching... A deadly story... but a terrific read...

" Killers of The Flower Moon "

Good choice!

I read that about a month ago, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Dan Brown,s new book. Good so far.

I just started a book by another Dan,

"The Templars, The Rise and Spectacular Fall of God's Holy Warriors"

He takes a look at this mysterious group from their start up to the wiping out of the order. Just got past the introduction, but it should be very interesting as there's still so much not known about the Templars.

Dragonsworn by Sherrilyn Kenyon

The beginning was terrible. Too many characters introduced too fast so I could not remember who they all were during the dialogue. By chapter 3 I finally got a sense of who was who, which made it possible to follow what was going on.

I've given up on it. No plot. And no point.

I've written it down. Next trip to the library I'll see if they have it.

1969 by Rob Kirkpatrick. Since I was on an all expense paid vacation to a far off land, courtesy of Uncle Sam, for most of 1969, I thought it would be interesting to read about things that had happened while I was away. It was pretty interesting until I got to the part on how the Chicago Cubs melted in September and was upstaged by the Miracle Mets.

Dan Browns new book "Origin" good so far.

Lois · **Reply #450 on:** November 01, 2017, 06:24:00 AM

I've finished "Killers of the Flower Moon", and then watched "FBI Story" for good measure. The book was excellent, and it was interesting to see the inaccuracies in the 1959 film.

I've also just finished reading "Parasite" by Mira Grant. Good read! I can't wait to read the rest of the series.

The Peloponnesian Wars by Thucydides

"The Accidental President," by A.J. Baime, subtitled "Harry S. Truman and the Four Months that Changed the World."

When running for his fourth term, FDR selected Truman, a long-serving senator from Missouri, as his running-mate. FDR was inaugurated on January 20, 1945, and died suddenly less than three months later. When Truman succeeded to the presidency, the war in Europe was grinding to its close, but the war in the Pacific was still raging, and the Cold War was in its infancy stages. And FDR left Truman woefully uninformed and unprepared for the presidency -- including failing to tell him about a certain top secret project underway.

It's fascinating to read about how Truman, thrown into the maelstrom, was able to rise to meet the many challenges.

Dodge City by Tom Clavin. The author relates both the myths and facts of Wyatt Earp and his brothers, Bat Masterson and his brothers, and Doc Holliday. I did learn that after Bat Masterson left the West and came to New York City at the request of Teddy Roosevelt, he did go into the newspaper business and became a celebrated sports reporter for one of the NYC papers. He took a fledgling reporter by the name of Damon Runyon under his wings and years later, when Runyon wrote Guys and Dolls, he named his main character, Sky Masterson, after Bat Masterson.

Coyote Blue by Christopher Moore.

I read a few of Christopher Moore's novels. I enjoy the quirky humor he imbibes his stories with.

I just started re-reading Raymond Chandler's Farewell, My Lovely, but am considering switching over to Time's Arrow, by Martin Amis. The Chandler is Phillip Marlowe - hardboiled detective fiction, and the Amis is allegorical scifi, sort of, for anyone unfamiliar with these.

Then she ran... by Charlie Gallagher. Just started it, the first chapters flow nicely and have the makings of a good read...

https://www.amazon.co.uk/My-Sister-Milly-Gemma-Dowler/product-reviews/1405927577 (UK)

Quick snyopsis: A predator snatches a teenage girl of the street in broad daylight. He kills his victim, Amanda 'Milly' Dowler and moves on. This is the harrowing tale of her family - their struggle to make their voices heard in the aftermath of her murder. This story is of a normal family -- how they were betrayed by the police and the English court system. Their struggle for answers goes from day to day to month to month to year to year in the search for the truth, and more importantly, answers.

The book was written in collaboration by the Dowler family, but mainly Gemma, the long suffering sister of the victim Milly. I have no idea how the Dowlers got the strength to continue after what happened, but what I do know is that Milly should be known by everyone, no matter where they are in the world.

I couldn't put it down - it, to me, was and is a must read, but I can't help but wonder what Milly could have been had that monster not met her that fateful day.

What book are you reading right now?
