A friend of mine just recommended this book. Sounds like it's an easy read and good fun. Not well known on this side of the pond, I think, but I'll look for it.

The last book I read was one of Camilla Lackberg's.. crime stories. She is Swedish and writes well. Check her out!

Hmmmm... I would like to bump up this old thread. A friend's book club read this book and she loaned it to me when I was sick a couple of weeks ago. "Mrs. Grant and Madame Jule" by Jennifer Chiaverini. It's based on the true life of first lady Julia Dent Grant, but it's been fictionalized with lots of dialogue. Next up is a book for work on health literacy, which is one of our organizational focus areas for 2019. I read a book over the summer called "Spring Fever" by Mary Kay Andrews ... perfect summer read, not too short, not too heavy, and a happy ending.

Right now I'm taking turns between Michener's "Hawaii" and "The Change" by Germaine Greer. I've never read anything by Greer before - I had no idea she was Australian! Although I expected a dry book she writes so very well that I find the book engaging.

I'm enjoying a book a dear friend sent me, it's called "The Postcard Killers" by James Patterson & Liza Marklund. I read before I sleep; it has short chapters, so I simply have to read one more! Have to check out more of his/their books.

Liza Marklund is a Swedish writer of crime novels. I think she is quite well-known and popular there, and elsewhere. She has written several other books, some of which are in the Ann Arbor library system. I plan to check some out to read!
James Patterson is an American writer of crime novels. He is very well-known and popular and has written dozens of other books. I've read a number of his books, some of which feature "The Women's Murder Club": a police detective, a pathologist, a lawyer, and a reporter, all of whom are involved and work together in solving the novels' mysteries.
"The Postcard Killers" is the first book they've written together. I don't know if they've written any others. I hope they do!

I've never had three books on the go at once until recently!
Germaine Greer - The Change
James Michener - Hawaii (that was a long one, but a satisfying read)
Can't recall the third one...
I am a fan of anything written by Jeffrey Deaver.
