Every time you talk about Lynley, it makes me want to pick them up again!

So glad you enjoyed Salt Houses. I did love that book, too.

[alldbooks]

Appreciated your thoughts especially about Salt Houses.

Elizabeth George is the only author in that stack that I have read.

Hi Britta I have Minor feelings by Cathy Park Hong on my shelf but have only read 15 pages so far. So I can’t recommend it yet…
Have you read the Frida Klein series by Nikki French? I just started Tuesday’s gone and I’m really engrossed. Yes lieutenant Linley, by Elizabeth George. I have to continue that series. Aloha.

Have you read/are you planning to read any books by Susan Abulhawa? If not, then I can really recommend her work if you want to read books set in Palestine. I "enjoyed" her book Mornings in Jenin much more than I enjoyed Salt Houses. I found it really powerful.

I'm glad you are enjoying the Lynley series so much! It is one of my favorite series. Have you watched the television adaptation? It's good.
