What Fiction are you reading this week, August 5, 2018? [View all]

Oops, I was so busy out in my garden I almost forgot about my books.

Getting lots of tomatoes, basil and sugar snap peas this year.

But, I've also got When the Music's Over by Peter Robinson. Good story about an investigation into a TV celeb who may have raped some young girls 40 years ago. Meanwhile, the body of a naked teenage girl is found dumped on a deserted country road.

Finished listening to The Wrong Side of Goodbye by Michael Connelly and I gotta tell you, the ending was one of the best I've come across in a long time. Had me in tears. Quite moving.

Now I'm listening to Dan Brown's Origin. Good audible story, really holds your interest even though it's quite long. This is my first Brown. Could never bring myself to read the others. But a couple of people here really liked this one so I thought I'd give it a go.

And what books are you getting this week?
