I was so saddened by Vince Flynn's death...a new writer is trying to copy his style but the first issue did not do it for me. Then I discovered Lee Child! Oh boy, he has written a lot of books (the Jack Reacher series) and I am going from one to the next. I love his mysteries. Our son has tried the Vince Flynn books and become a huge fan. We are keeping him stocked from our shelves. I suspect he will become a fan of Jack Reacher also.

They also made a documentary by the same name.
The latest books I have read is the "Outlander" series by Diana Gabaldon. I am eagerly awaiting the next book. She is a great writer. Her books keep you turning pages to see what happens next.

I listen to audio books , but it's still reading.
Right now i am listening to : The Cat Who... is a series of twenty-nine mystery novels
and three related collections by Lilian Jackson Braun.
I am also a Sandra Dallas fan and also Jennifer Chiaverini and Sue Grafton.

Because I enjoy Great Brit history, my daughter put me onto the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. These are fictional and about Scotland, but I am totally immersed in her writing style,, the locations, the characters -WOW - and the dramatic story line. Diana truly has a gift for writing; now her books are being turned into movie series for the Starz channel to enormous acclaim. Costumes are to die for!
Each book of the 8, so far, are about 800 pages, making them wonderfully captivating and detailed. I am starting through them for the second time, finding so much I missed or didn't understand the first reading. These characters become part of your circle, which has fans of the series in "droughtlander" until the next is published, hopefully next year! Lovin' me some Outlander!!
