I love the author's attention to detail. <br /><br />It's been too long since I last read a Grafton book too. I need to get caught up with the series. I last read T, so I'm not terribly behind.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-9760269204885831532014-11-04T21:27:18.767-08:002014-11-04T21:27:18.767-08:00Jenclair - If you read the first Grafton book, you...Jenclair - If you read the first Grafton book, you really should give it another try. The first wasn't the strongest. <br /><br />I haven't read any of the Monk books by Perry. The biography you mention sounds interesting. I know something of her checkered past, and know she refuses to talk about it. Someone brought up the murder during an author panel I attended one year and the temperature in the room went up exponentially from the tension. Perry was clearly uncomfortable with it.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-91490591243491137272014-11-04T21:24:34.527-08:002014-11-04T21:24:34.527-08:00Samantha - I really like Grafton's series too....Samantha - I really like Grafton's series too. It's one of my favorite mystery series. I last read U. I feel like I have neglected quite a few of my favorites over the past few years. :-( <br /><br />I really enjoyed what I read of the Anne Perry series. The series became too political for me after awhile and my reading of them slowed down. It's been awhile since I last opened one of her books. I really want to give her World War I series a try. I hear its good.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-72422136273937982522014-11-04T05:52:11.006-08:002014-11-04T05:52:11.006-08:00I was never a huge Perry fan but I like the sounds...I was never a huge Perry fan but I like the sounds of this one. I have read several of the Sue Grafton books but haven't picked any up for years. I don't really know why I stopped reading her as I always enjoyed them. Thanks for reminding me to pick the series back up!Katherine Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12126062556416434416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-49547220698468685482014-11-03T05:18:04.386-08:002014-11-03T05:18:04.386-08:00I never got into the Grafton books.

I have read many of Anne Perry's books both the Pitt and the Monk series. Sam of Book Chase recently read a biography of Perry that sounds good.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-31640746247285941222014-11-02T06:55:24.234-08:002014-11-02T06:55:24.234-08:00I just finished H is for Homicide the other week a...I just finished H is for Homicide the other week and how I adore this mystery series! This actually wasn't my favorite one even though it had me laughing out loud at a couple different points. I hope to catch up with this series sooner rather than later although I will be VERY sad to see it end. I also have the first Anne Perry book on my shelves and this is yet another mystery series I would like to read. Thanks for sharing :)samantha.1020https://www.blogger.com/profile/04124614710493747821noreply@blogger.com
