A good novel I can get stuck into!
33 Answers
I have lost my Carlos Ruiz Zafon 'Angel's Game' book that I was immensley enjoying but can't seem to find it! So I am on the search for a new book to get my teeth into...
Any recommendations for any amazing crime/mystery/romance (or all three combined) books people have read and enjoyed? I love murder mysteries with a bit of romance - but especially the mystery part. Just really in the mood to get myself stuck into something.
Thanks guys! :-)

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.How about some classic detectives? Raymond Chandler The Big Sleep or Hammett's The Thin Man that sort of thing. And get your book back! I loaned someone one of my books of short stories by Damon Runyon and never got it back! Oh I can I recommend those? Nice books for dipping in and out of, great stories of New York
Maizie I read loads and am a bit sensitive to formulaic writing, i.e. I know when I've reached page 17 because a stunning blonde enters the bar, her hips swaying under the smooth fabric of her dress etc,etc,etc.....
And before anyone suggests I shouldn't read such crap. I like to alternate between decent writing and popcorn for the brain. And in the search for the popcorn I have to go through a whole lot of rubbish to find poolside reading that requires just the right amount of mental effort.

Agatha Raisin books are a bit gentle imo. I've almost finished John Connelly's The Whisperers, and my bedside book is Robert Crais' Lullaby Town, an Elvis Cole detective story. If you like fantasy books and ever come across Thomas Covenant novels by Stewart Donaldson, try those. usually in a series of three books. I couldn't put them down.
