For me,ross macdonald completes the great classic thriller trilogy by Dashiel hammet and raymond chandler. Archer, the detective, is ironic, lonely,he loves whiskey and complicated women. Their stories are often twisted and dark where the solution is not always the best solution and evil and doing good are mixed very difficult to know which is which. A basic, a classic.

And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie probably the best mystery novel ever.
In the novel, ten people are enticed into coming to an island under different pretexts, i.e. offers of employment or to enjoy a late summer holiday, or to meet with old friends. All have been complicit in the death(s) of other human beings but either escaped justice or committed an act that was not subject to legal sanction. The guests are charged with their respective "crimes" by a gramophone recording after dinner the first night and informed that they have been brought to the island to pay for their actions.

Yes,it's a well written novel.A disturbing story,but the truth is that all the bad things that happen in the book,have happened before and will happen again and again.It's a bad,bad world. |

Hi Modest i heard of the Jack Ketchum's novel, i wanted to read it but i'm a bit afraid it could be a non easy reading and you're confirming this. I have no problems too with violence and i love thriller/horrors but when they are too much sick i feel uncomfortable, however from what i look around The Girl Next Door is a good book, you just must have the guts to read it

Knows one of you Jack Ketchum's 'The Girl Next Door'?
My brother told me that I have to read this novel.I read it I'm not a 'Softie',but even for me were some scenes in the book almost unbearable. [Verstecktes Bild - Registrierung notwendig] This is one of those novels you read only once,but you will never forget. |

A great book i just finished to read, Child 44 a thriller novel by British writer Tom Rob Smith, and featuring disgraced MGB Agent Leo Demidov, who investigates a series of gruesome child murders in Joseph Stalin's Soviet Union.
The novel is based on the crimes of Andrei Chikatilo, also known as the Rostov Ripper, who was convicted of and executed for 52 murders in the Soviet Union. In addition to highlighting the problem of Soviet-era criminality in a state where "there is no crime", the novel also explores the paranoia of the age, the education system, the secret police apparatus, orphanages, homosexuality in the USSR, and mental hospitals.

Hi maurois no problem my dear friend , i know what you mean, his novels and short stories are very surreal and probably not for everyone but he writes divinely and i can tell you that i love him the most for these kind of novels, when i read a more normal book like Norwegian Wood i didn't like it so much.

I remember that being very young, I was reading very much.
Now, my professional obligations, also they force me to read, but now they are scores of music. Anyway, I will always remember some books that impressed me. For example, The Iliad and The Odyssey of Homero, and, of course, The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha, of Miguel de Cervantes.

Another great author Haruki Murakami (born January 12, 1949)
Murakami's fiction is frequently surrealistic and nihilistic, marked by a Kafkaesque rendition of themes of loneliness and alienation.
