[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would highly recommend "Station Eleven" by Emily St John Mandel.  It's one of my favorite books in recent years.  Beautifully written, and thoughtful but not plodding.

I would also recommend Tana French's Dublin Murder Squad books.  They are mysteries/police procedurals, and have gripping plots, but they are very character focused and are so well written.  I believe the Washington Post had the most recent book (there are now six) on its list of the best novels of 2017.  You can read them out of order, but I would recommend starting with the first novel (In the Woods).  [/quote]

PP I don't know if you previously mentioned Tana French, but I have read all of them based on a DCUM recommendation.  If you made the recommendation.  Thank you.  They are page turners.

I just read a Jane Gardam book called "Old FILTH" - "Failed In London Try Hongkong" -- it is another page turner and a little different.

Tana French PP here.  Glad you enjoyed them so much, PP!  I have recommended these books on DCUM before, as have other posters.  So, I'm not sure if the recommendation you saw came from me or someone else.  Either way, I'm pleased that it was a success.  This is why I love DCUM book threads so much - I always come away with a list of new books to try.  Speaking of which, I'll check out "Old FILTH."  Thanks for the tip![/quote]
