The Brutal Telling (An Armand Gamache Novel) by Louise Penny

Noticed you liked Out by Natsuo Kirino, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here, as well as a few other book-related sites. Thought you might like my book since it's also gritty, a bit violent, and a bit dark :) I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like (I'm out of physical copies at the moment). Here's a link to a summary (and a sample chapter) in case you'd like to read more about the novel before you commit.

Thanks,

Maybe give the Highest Tide by Jum Lynch another go? I wasn't keen at first but it turned into something special.

Found your review of Five Smooth Stones interesting. I liked L'il Joe best, too, and found the first half most engaging. But like you, I am sticking it out to the end. It's a curious book. I came across it at the public library first. It was an old copy, well worn, but not weeded out despite that which made me pick it up. I read about twenty pages and reshelved it but kept thinking about it. Then a friend - my publisher actually - invited me to ransack his paperback collection prior to a house cleaning, and what did I find there but a copy of Five Smooth Stones! So I picked it up and now have nearly finished it. Couldn't find much on the web about it. I'm thinking it is something of a flawed masterpiece. One of those books that "stick" in the world despite a lack of fanfare. Curious.

Jane!

We have quite a few books in common, don't we? Great minds and all of that, right?

Glad you're here and so glad you've joined us at BCC; but I think I've said that before, haven't I?

Happy reading --

Karen
