If you like Patricia Cornwell, try Kathy Reichs - heroine is a forensic anthropologist - a very good read.

I enjoyed "The DaVinci Code" with it's mixture of prophetic revelations, factual information and "who done what and why?" mystery novel.

Awwww Thanks!

Can you give me a pull? l've had to much honey and am stuck in Rabbits Hole?

Re: Good Reads?
 

I've always been a fan of Micheal J Fox so I'll have a read of that book after I've read the mountain of books mez has lent to me, they'll keep me going for ages lol!!

Re: Good Reads?
 

Agree with the Michael J. Fox book. I read it and alternated between laughing and crying throughout the whole thing. Inspirational is a good word for it.

Also loved DaVinci code and all other Dan Brown books - but once you've read a couple they start to get a bit samey.

Try The No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith. I found it a little hard to get into at first because it's written to sound like it's being spoken by an African woman, so you've got to tune into the language phrasing first. When you get into it though it's a really good read. I'm on the second book in the series right now.
