Rose, I think Echoes is a cracking read:) All cosy and warm and a little bit bittersweet:)

I've just finished 'Heart and Soul' by Maeve Binchy. i do like her books... she is a very Irish writer somehow ( lol yes i know she IS Irish) something about the way the sentences flow I think ?

She is very very good at characterization, and making you care what happens to the characters ... and there always seems a 'rightness' to how things work out...wish I had her ability to just 'tell a good tale'. :))

I like Dean Koontz but I haven't read any by him in ages.

I can also recommend James Patterson and Tess Gerritson if you like the crime/thriller type of books.

Amanda Foreman? I love her in New Tricks, I didn't know she was a writer as well :-)

Just finished CJ Sansoms latest novel 'Sovereign' set in the reign of Henry VIII. Cracking read.

My powers of concentration aren't what they used to be so I'm into easy reads.

Working my way through Patricia Cornwell at the moment but got a bit bored and managed to pick up the latest Dean Koontz yesterday at my local library so will read that next :)

I'll keep an eye out for it then Uggers....it's a while since I've seen the film so it may be the right time to have a go xx

I've read a Mark Haddon.......something along the lines of Curious incident of a dog at night time.....it was really good.

I'll have a look on Amazon at the others you mention.....the Judges Daughter rings a bell for some reason........ xx

At the moment im trying to read Shadows of the work house by Jennifer Worth, but can't get into it. So will take it on holiday a give it another go. I really want to read Call the Midwife by the same author but cant get hold of it as yet.

Uggers

Worth a try, Muffy - the film is really faithful to the book and it's an easy read.

Hello Muffy, this is just my subject.
At the Moment I am reading The Judges Daughter by Ruth Hamilton and its really good.
My favorite books are Agatha Raisin Books by M.C Beeton, but its best to read them in order.
Two other books which I read recently and I would recommend to anyone are
A Spot of Bother by Mark Haddon, and the best book of all is
Edward Trencoms Nose by Giles Milton.
If you do read any of these then I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

It's called Secrets & Lies by Jaishree Misra. So far so good but I have only just started it and am still on the second chapter.
