I have just finished Loretta Hill's The Girl in the Steel Capped Boots. It was light but had a bit of a good twist in it. I have almost finished a novella by her too that DD's blog was sent to review. Again extremely light but it filled in a bit of time. ( not that I need to do that).
I'm not sure what to read next. I am spoiled for choice.

Finished "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn the other day.
An excellent mystery with more twists in it than you will believe possible.  Well written, well plotted & great characters - it has it all.
Loved it.

I got that book for Christmas Cookie. I enjoyed it but I am finding Patricia Cornwell's books are getting a bit predictable.

I need a new book to read. Any sugestions?

I can heartily recommend Past Imperfect by Julian Fellowes. Just a brilliant,entertaining, beautifully written novel.

I did enjoy it because it was very different, and Jean is of a very different mindset but had moments of lucidity. Quite an unusual belief that she was doing her best friends a huge favour. Because of the unusual storyline, I was thinking that there may be a different ending, and it seemed to end quickly and a bit flat.
