Just finished yesterday afternoon. The Goodreads discussion comments indicate that the book has been optioned. There’s also a discussion of casting which is pretty interesting.

Almost finished with TLKW. I’ll be stunned if Hollywood doesn’t option this one.

I love the opening to The Last Kind Words and I’m intrigued, cool tweets or not!

I enjoyed Nesser’s book. The ending let me down a bit though. I should say the resolution of the crimes let me down a bit; what happens to the main character at the end, that I liked. I don’t usually rate books but I’d give it 4 out of 5 stars. Maybe just a fraction less because of that ending.

Ok, Benoit’s comment is the final straw. Naomi and E, think we can find a time to read this together? Maybe hook Rhonda in, too? What say you?

The Piccirilli book is my favorite read this year, so far. A kick in my ass indeed. Not at all a wrongly-put-to-death story

It’s interesting the way the author deals with the religious sect in the book. I’m about 2/3 of the way through and so far there isn’t a lot of preaching from the sect; in fact they say almost nothing which is very frustrating for the cops. The main character is so disgusted with religiosity as a whole that the reader is almost pushed to sympathize (just a tiny bit) with the sect. I am VERY curious to learn whodunnem. I don’t know that I’ve fallen in love with the main character, but he’s different enough to keep me reading this book. I can’t put my finger on exactly what it is, but something about the book (not necessarily the character) reminds me of the Maigret series.

Went to my local indie yesterday to get some birthday cards and The Inspector and the Silence was right on the front table of new paperbacks. Pretty cool! ALMOST bought it, but want your final thoughts. I’m guessing if it’s not to religiousy for you, it won’t be for me but awaiting confirmation. Ha! No pun intended.
