No I haven't. I didn't know she wrote any others. I will try to get it as I'm nearly finished Call The Midwife. I have got a Ben Elton book to read next. I love his books. They all seem to be good and very funny. Last one I read was Past Mortem, which was grim and romantic. Next one is Blind Faith

I read fiction when I was young and then nothing but factual books until J R Rowling wrote about Harry Potter. I read all of them.

Then I went through a Terry Pratchett faze. I love his witches, Susan (grandaughter of Death) and Sam Vimes (policeman in Anck Morpork).

Also like the works of Phillip Pullman, I have read all of his Dark Material.

I do love Wire in the blood so I won't read the book I'll wait til it comes on the television but I bet it is a good read.

I read "Above Suspicion" by Lynda La Plante and loved it but when they brought it out as a TV drama it was no where near as good.

Just read 'Die for Me' - Karen Rose, it was brilliant

Napoleons Marshalls edited by David Chandler...have spent years reading forensic detective type stuff and got fed up...so back to my roots in history.
Fascinating and very accurate study of the 26 officers who formed the Napoleonic Marshalate...

Great selection!

I have just finished Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol...I am a Brown fan, but this was great!! I love all the history and intrigue!

Now re-reading Forget You Had a Daughter...amazing autobiography of a woman who got in to drug trafficing in Thailand, amazing and thought provoking and heart renching, you should read it.

Next on the list ... To Kill a Mockingbird, anyone read it? x

I love that book, had to read it for my English exam, but enjoyed it so much I read it again and again and again. The film with Gregory Peck is also good, but I prefer the book

I read that book at school. It's a great book and based upon Harper Lee's childhood I believe.
The film was good but the book is better, so much more detail and so much more explained
