Couldn't agree more. I was a great fan in the early days but later books are poor.

Troy by Stephen Fry.
This is the third installment of his retelling of the Greek myths and although I was most looking forward to this one, I didn't particularly like it from some reason.

Reluctant because of the hype, I caved and read Where The Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens. I have to say, the hype is deserved!
I just finished Richard Osmond's book The Thursday Murder Club. It is a really easy, enjoyable read, not earth shattering.
I see it being classified as a "cozy" mystery, that about sums it up. Its already being made into a film.

The Way Of All Flesh written under pseudonym Ambrose Parry. Crime/mystery set in 19th century Edinburgh with real historical places and people but obviously fictionalised. Writers are actually Christopher Brookmyre and Marisa Haetzman.
Just finished "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo". Absolutely enthralling read, haven't seen the film so I'll need to watch that.
Kane and Abel by Jeffrey Archer, never read one of his books before, always had them down as mass-market trash in my mind for some reason but I'm totally sucked in by this, read it until 3am last night, it won't last until the weekend.

Half way through a Man called Ove by Frederick Backman. I really wasn't prepared for how heartbreaking this book is in places.
The Stand - Stephen King.
The missus got me a Kindle for Christmas. Surprisingly enjoyable to read on.
I've read a few Stephen King novels, mostly enjoyed them, so thought I'd give this a go!

Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart. Good so far like Trainspotting set in Glasgow rough and tough on the sides!
