Just got done reading these 2 fantastic mysteries. You won't be able to put them down.

Remains of Innocence by J. A. JANCE

Sight Unseen by IRIS JOHANSEN

I'm always looking for good mysteries to read. These both sound really good! I love J.A. Jance but usually just the J.P. Beaumont series. I used to like Iris Johansen too but got tired of the Eve Duncan series. Thanks for the info- I'll probably get them both.

The J.A. Jance books, do they have to be read in order?

I have read all of J A Jance's in order, but believe me this book you will love it even if you have never read any of her books....it is fantastic. Iris Johansen's book is not about Eve Duncan....you will love it.

Hi, sallyann38, thanks for the recommendations. They both sound like something I would love to read. I checked them out on Amazon and was disappointed they cost about $13 each for my Kindle. Did you get them via Amazon and pay that much?

Love mysteries also - have just finished two from a new author - Killing Time and Dead Silent- by Amy Beth Arkawy - interesting characters - can't wait for the third in the series to come out. A true fun read.

I'm reading James Anderson mysteries ...

- The Affair of the Bloodstained Egg Cosy

- The Affair of the Mutilated Mink

- The Affair of the Thiry-Nine Cufflinks

These were written in the 1980's-90's, but they employ a 1930's English country manor house party setting. The plots are very clever, the characters are fun, and there's a lot of subtle humor along the way. Very entertaining and highly recommended.

Just discovered Jance - started "Guilty until proven innocent" yesterday. It's the first of the Beaumont series. So far, I like it. If you like mysteries - check out Linda Castillo. Just finished her Burkholder series. Great reads!

Well, I'm sure I'll be laughed at for asking -- but concerning J.A. Jance -- is there a lot of cursing in this author's books? I just personally don't enjoy it when an author uses excessive foul language. I don't find it necessary for a book to be a good one.

I am 133 on the library waitlist for the JA Jance one. I will need to remember, patience is a virtue. I have been reading all of her series since each began and really enjoy them. Thanks for suggesting these books!

I think I will start with the eve duncan series. I wanted to read the Jance novel, but read the synopsis of the book. Is there animal abuse in this novel.?

Thanks

Katherine

Also, does anyone have the order list for Eve Brady series? I am really condused as to the order. Amazon does not list the first 10 in order, only the last books. At least that is what has been popping up on my screen!

Whenever you need to find books in the order that they were published, type in the authors name in your computer and they will come up.

Love the mysteries by Tami Hoag: she seems to have gone back to writing mysteries. Also am reading the series by Daniel Silva about the Middle East intrigues.
