'Heart Of Gold'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
The Likeness was may favourite of them all.
They are allegedly working on a TV series based on the first five Dublin Murder Squad novels, and I am both impatient to see them and dubious they can do them justice. I 'm assuming they do a book a series.
I know Megan Abbott! Well, I know her ex husband and met her once. Maybe that isn't so exciting.
sj, have you read Laura Lippman? They aren't necessarily that dark, but there are a lot of them!
Close enough, Gris!

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat??
Whaaaaaaaaaaaat??
There hasn't been a lot of news. I keep my eye opened for anything and every once in a while I google to see if anything has been announced. There was an article almost two years ago saying they were optioned, and then nothing. Then Tana Franch said in an interview this fall it was in active development. And fairly recently I found it mentioned in a company bio at the bottom of a press release:
The company has a robust slate of projects in various stages of development and pre-production which include the upcoming television adaptation of Tana French's best selling novels about the "Dublin Murder Squad" written by Sarah Phelps and being co-produced in conjunction with Fremantle UK for both TNT and the BBC.
But no formal announcements since the first.
Thanks for sharing the news, Sue
sj, also S.J. (Sharon) Bolton. I found the first of her books this summer, and disappeared into the rest of them immediately.
And if you've never tried Elizabeth George's Inspector Lynley mysteries, the first seven or eight are so, so good.
sj, you might also try Lisa Gardner - hers can get quite dark - they have a continuing cast of characters in the Boston PD. And, as a side note, she runs a ... contest? ... in which people who contribute to her favorite animal charity can have the name of a friend or relative used in a book. They're always noted in an afterword.
Thanks, Amy and Toddson. I'll add those to my list. I'm going to head over to the library bookstore later today. Hardcover mysteries are currently 50 cents. It's ridiculous how many books I have and can't settle down with something to read. I finished In the Woods last night, and I thought parts of it were great and other parts dragged. I was really annoyed that the book never told us what happened to the original 2 kids. Anyone here have any theories?
