I finished Kala by Colin Walsh last night, i'm late to the party with it, a really, really good read!

I think I was roughly the same age as the characters in Kala, and for me it had a real sense of nostalgia and was spot on about being a teenager at that time

Wasnt it! Even the way the lads spoke to eachother brought me back. He really captured it beautifully

Can you believe it happened again! Went to the library to take back my books and to ONLY pick up my 3 reservations and some how I’ve now got 12 new library books to read does this happen to anyone else?

I am still knee-deep in my love affair with DCI Jack Logan. JD Kirk's detective novels are just brilliant. His lowest review score is 4.32, the majority are 4.5+. Over 21 books.

Is there a more prolific author who had mansion such high scores over than shown of books? I would like to read them if so. His are actually his own books, not ghost written or the same plot rehashed and republished. He keeps his own publishing house so as not to have to bend into other people's formulas as well.

I’m reading a book at the moment that reminds me of a Fredrik Backman and now I’m wondering where @Caffeine Fiend is!?

I absolutely LOVE JD Kirk books. How far in are you? There are some spin offs as well (but I won't mention which characters in case you haven't got there yet!)

I recently listened to his newest stand alone thriller, and whilst it was a decent, if not slightly predictable thriller, James McAvoy did the narration and he made it absolutely brilliant, like proper acted it out!

Don't think shes written as many in her Maeve Kerrigan series but Jane Casey has rated 4.3 stars minimum across the entire series. They are so good!

Ahhh. Thanks for telling me about another detective series I need to fall into. There are 8 DC Maeve books.

I'm gonna be honest and say I didn't love this one, but it DOES improve towards the end, there's a good amount of character development.

That’s a shame! I loved this one, but it’s pretty consistent in terms of plot and pacing so if you’re not into it now then it probably wont improve for you!
