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?
So, has anyone read Crazy Rich Asians? I read it on the plane today, and ... I'm conflicted. It's funny and quick-witted but also kind of mean and full of stereotypes, just stereotypes I'm not familiar with. I dunno.
Yes. And the follow up. Then I felt likeI had eaten a box of donuts - the books left me oogey feeling after.

oooh, that's a good analogy, Kat.
As a palate-cleanser, I reread LeGuin's Annals of the Western Shore over the last few days. It doesn't get as much attention as the Earthsea books, but it's a really strong series, with a focus on the power of words, literacy, and storytelling to bring people together. Loved it.
JANE STEEL. is relevant to our interests. Let me turn to page three to show you why.
[ahem]
"Reader, I murdered him."
I just finished this. I LOVE it!
I really loved Jane Steele. Such fun.
I'm currently reading Spontaneous by Aaron Starmer and it's the first story in a Very Long Time that is giving me a deep Heathers feel. Anyone read it?
