She gets better and better with each new publication! Now to find the time. I'm in the middle of two chunksters -- The Thorn Birds (buddy read with Bellezza) and The Passage (on audio). It may be October before I get to this one! On second thought, maybe I'll wait and read it on my flight to TX in November. It's sure to be one that keeps me distracted. ;)Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-12527058733519927432012-09-09T19:41:59.990-04:002012-09-09T19:41:59.990-04:00I adored the first book, but have yet to read the ...I adored the first book, but have yet to read the others.

And you don't really need to read in order but she does introduce the next main character in her books in the previous books. It is an interesting way to write and she does amazing. All four of her books have been as good (or better than) Broken Harbor. She is definitely one of my favorites.Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-12446139304926693382012-09-06T15:17:25.171-04:002012-09-06T15:17:25.171-04:00Glad to hear Broken Harbor stands alone!

I read IN THE WOODS several years ago and then read THE FAITHFUL PLACE last year with my book group. Still need to get to THE LIKENSS (which I've heard such good things about from other friends). This is a series, but only loosely. Tana French takes a character from her previous book, sometimes a fairly minor character, and makes them the lead protagonist in the next book. It's an interesting way to tie things together and I usually spend the book wondering who will head up the next one. I had guessed that Scorcher's partner Richie would be the lead, but it was Scorcher himself. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-51743397699787962552012-09-06T06:38:06.475-04:002012-09-06T06:38:06.475-04:00Me too, it sure kept me curious along the way.Me too, it sure kept me curious along the way.(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-55622889051427935192012-09-06T06:37:08.629-04:002012-09-06T06:37:08.629-04:00YAY Natalie, thank you.
