What's the best book you're read lately?

For me it's 'Behind closed doors' by B A Paris. A psychological thriller better than any I've ever read.

OMG it made me shudder but I couldn't put it down!!


I'd love to know your reading preferences.

Anything that does not require too much brain power.

Don't like Agatha Christie for instance, too much thinking required!

Nice light Regency romance, or at the other end of the scale, anything with a dead Russian agent by the end of page 2.

I love Scott Mariani's Ben Hope novels. Utterly implausible and completely silly but great escapism.
I've also started reading some time travel novels by Pamela Hartshorne, Irina Shapiro, Barbara Erskine and others. Some are better than others but I enjoy the notion that it just might be possible!

I love Agatha Christie but must say I haven't read a book for quite some time. cheers Penny

Khaled Hosseini and, in particular, The Kite Runner.

Gosh! At least one, often two, a week for me!

I thoroughly enjoyed the All Soul's Trilogy by Deborah Harkness. I love Agatha Christie as well. I have all of her books in the attic, not having room here for a bookcase, but I've got a lot of them as ebooks.

I am a big fan of Elizabeth Peters and the series of books she has written about Amelia Peabody and her beloved husband, Radcliffe Emerson.

Heroes and villains abound in the late 1800s/early 1900s with Amelia solving many mysteries of ancient and modern Egypt in a very readable series of books.
