Trying to work my way through this audiobook for #NordicNoir I‘m starting to think that maybe they aren‘t for me. I feel like there is so much back story and it can get daunting. Still going to power through though! It‘s Friday at least! 🤗

EadieB @eanderson Takes a lot of patience to get through this book as it is abnormally long and boring in parts. I like the basic story but too many minor plots are not good. (edited) 5y

Crazeedi I hear you! I'm trying to read book, but I'm looking for the audio too 5y

Butterfinger It was not a favorite. 5y

The Cult of Fog Island

gradcat @eanderson Good luck with it. Did you see that @Andrew65 had trouble with it as well? Sorry it‘s not so great... 😐 5y

Marina_h There are lots of other good #NordicNoir books. This one was disappointing to me as well and I normally like this genre. So don't give up 😊 5y

Andrew65 @gradcat Big trouble! I much prefer #TartanNoir (set in Scotland) to #NordicNoir so far. 5y

Andrew65 @Marina_h I hear you. 5y

Andrew65 @EadieB I told you #NordicBore for this book! 5y

eanderson @EadieB I agree with you. I like the basic story. @Tove_Reads I am going to have to check that one out! @gradcat I did and I‘m glad I‘m not the only one! Lol! @Andrew65 I‘ve read a couple of books that take place in or around Scotland like Peter May! I wouldn‘t mind more #TartaNoir! 5y

Andrew65 @eanderson There are some great series set in Scotland, some of my favourites. Love Peter May books. (edited) 5y

eanderson @Andrew65 I‘m reading Natural Causes by James Oswald right now. Do you have any other recommendations? 5y

Andrew65 @eanderson Love the James Oswald Series. Shetland Series by Ann Cleeves. Rebus Series by Ian Rankin. DCI Daley Series by Denzil Meyrick. Set in England but by a Scottish Author, Tony Hill / Carol Jordan Series by Val McDermid - a great favourite.

Raven Black: Book One of the Shetland Island Quartet

Whisky from Small Glasses: A DCI Daley Thriller

Marina_h @Andrew65 I have to look into some the #TartanNoir you mention. I love Scotland and I could see it as a great setting for a good crime novel! 5y

Andrew65 @Marina_h They are great Series. 5y

gradcat @Andrew65 I, too, am a huge fan of Tartan Noir...guess that comes as a shock to you? 😂 5y

gradcat @eanderson I read a trilogy by Peter May a while ago, and I really liked them. ♥️ 5y

Andrew65 @gradcat Most probably the Lewis Trilogy which is excellent. His standalones are good too. (edited) 5y

gradcat @Andrew65 Thanks for the tip, plus your other recommendations on this page! 👍♥️ I‘ve read all of the Tony Hill series, all of the Shetland series, & some Ian Rankin. But I hadn‘t heard of James Oswald or the DCI Daley series...going to check those out. (edited) 5y

Andrew65 @gradcat James Oswald Series is still in Edinburgh (a very loose supernatural element to it but works) and DCI Daley Series is set in a remote community on West coast of Scotland. 5y

eanderson @Andrew65 @gradcat I‘m loading my kindle with his recommendations! I liked the first 2 in the Lewis series. I need to finish it! 5y

Andrew65 @eanderson one moment in book 3 of the Lewis Series gave me the biggest shock of any book I can remember. Enjoy. @gradcat Hope you enjoy the other series. (edited) 5y

gradcat @Andrew65 This is so weird—last night I looked up the DCI Daley series on Amazon, and it told me they were unavailable in the US. Today, just now, they have miraculously become available here—I don‘t get that! But anyway, I think I‘ll give those a go...less interested in the James Oswald, but only because of the supernatural element, I don‘t really love those, you know...😂 (edited) 5y

gradcat @eanderson I think you‘ll be pretty happy with all of them... @Andrew65 & @EadieB are great ones for book recommendations! ♥️ 5y

Andrew65 @gradcat Both @Eadieb and I have incredibly similar tastes, can hardly remember an occasion when our opinion has differed on a book. @eanderson (edited) 5y

Andrew65 @gradcat That‘s strange but good news. Normally I don‘t let me the supernatural element but in this series so incidental that it works and makes for a good series. 5y

gradcat @Andrew65 I could give the Oswald books a shot, though...but my gosh, I have so many books to read at the moment. I‘m going to keep it in mind, because there may be a prompt that it would be a good fit for, so as always, I appreciate your comments & tips! ♥️ 5y
