I just finished NINE DRAGONS, and liked it.  Altho' I was amazed that they could
find that hotel room on their first try out of all the buildings there. 
Connelly's SCARECROW was very good too.  Connelly's are the only series that I
read most all of them.

Have yet to read any DeMille books, altho' I've had CHARM SCHOOL on my shelves
for a long  time.

Marge

Another fan of the books here. The series is terrific. So happy this was played
straight and not winking at the audience.

has there ever been a good treatment of a James Lee Burke novel?

What I like about the Varg Veum series, Wallander, and many of the
others on International Mystery is that they do seem to grow on you over time -
although I liked all of these shows fairly well from the first viewing.

THE GOLD COAST is probably my favorite of the De Mille novels I have read. NIGHT
FALL would be a close second.

This was more of a suspense novel to me, however. I expected
more of a twist at the end also, even if the solution of the
so-called mystery seemed fairly apparent halfway through.

It was a great read tho!

Larsson seemed to be on a crusade. Political criticism by mystery or something.

A very good writer but in the end a soapbox lessens the impact of a story. I
will buy the next book if the reviews tell me that the mystery is more about
suspense that agendas. I don't care if I agree with the writer. I just don't go
for this sort of thing.

Happy Thanksgiving USA!

Happy Thanksgiving outside of the USA, for that matter.

Thanks to all of our members for continuing with NNH Group at Yahoo.

This was a decent movie.

However, I just don't see Alec Baldwin as Dave Robicheaux! Probably if the
protagonist had been called Dave Le Grand or something, I would have not been
caught up in expectations.

A novel by John Connelly and historical fiction by James Ellroy.

While I often like a free-form approach to fiction, Ellroy's book is built
around so many negatives that I'm not enjoying the book. Still, I find it very
difficult to put the book down.

The JC is very good. Bosch is at the helm in this one.

She has been dead over a year now. Hard to believe.

Finally read this.

Very good spy story with terrorism tie in.

If they're not making a 20 part tv series they might want to cut out a lot of
the speeches. LOL

you have a point.  Maybe ............... :-)

This is off topic, but I'd like to tell every one that the limey Doctor Who
series is quite good.
