You could probably read this one on its own, but as a person who likes to read series in order if I can, I wouldn't. While they both can stand alone, there's continuing characters that you might want to have the background of going from one to the other.<BR/><BR/>Rhinoa - I so often solve the mystery long before the author discloses the truth and so it's a real treat when I end up being surprised. :-)Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-46668852939257607242008-01-29T10:19:00.000-08:002008-01-29T10:19:00.000-08:00I don't read many crime novels, but I know what yo...I don't read many crime novels, but I know what you mean about solving the crime in your head. It's always lovely when a book completely surprises you and takes you in a different direction to what you were expecting.

So I have to make sure I start off with the right one. Yes, I get a bit picky about that :)Ilianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026669671843769219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-90052071653943941652008-01-28T18:08:00.000-08:002008-01-28T18:08:00.000-08:00JMC, Amy, CJ, Jaimie, Nicola & Melody - I just fin...JMC, Amy, CJ, Jaimie, Nicola & Melody - I just finished my third book by him and will be posting that review eventually. If you can, I recommend reading The Rosary Girls before you try The Skin Gods for background purposes. I hope you enjoy the books if you do decide to try them!<BR/><BR/>Oneyeka - Thank you so much! And thank you for visiting.<BR/><BR/>April - I hope you will enjoy the book--both War and Peace and The Skin Gods. :-) <BR/><BR/>I have the latest translation of War and Peace, translated by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky. I read their translation of Anna Karenina and was really impressed.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-34096914323492572582008-01-28T16:45:00.000-08:002008-01-28T16:45:00.000-08:00This definitely sounds like one great suspense sto...This definitely sounds like one great suspense story I want to read!

I am definitely going to add it to my wish list!<BR/>I have to tell you - after hearing that you are reading War and Peace and that you were liking it, I ended up grabbing a copy at B&N yesterday! LOL! The version that I picked up is a translation by Constance Garnett. After browsing through that one, I thought I would enjoy its language and writing better. Which version are you reading? I had no idea there were so many different translations!Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02026539637409766437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-59155752718891005432008-01-28T10:49:00.000-08:002008-01-28T10:49:00.000-08:00Sounds good!
