I've read them all now - Shrine and Creed remain my favourites. Have just read Ash, which started off well, but faltered, which is a shame, as it was the last book he wrote.

I have just thought of my own challenge which is to "step out of my reading confort zone" I will try to read 1-2 thriller/crime books a month to try broaden my reading habits  x Okay I will confess I haven't quite stuck to this challenge but have read a few thrillers/crime this year so far (just not 1-2 a month  ) : 1. The Secrets of Crickley Hall - James Herbert (February) FANTASTIC!2. The Crow Trap - Ann Cleeves (April) 3. Telling Tales - Ann Cleeves (May) 4. Hidden Depths - Ann Cleeves (May)5. Silent Voices - Ann Cleeves (June)6. The Glass Room - Ann Cleeves (June)
7. Gone Girl - Gillian Flynn (July)8. Harbour Street - Ann Cleeves (September) Didn't manage to finish in time 
9. The Moth Catcher - Ann Cleeves (September) I have to say I did not enjoy this book series as much as I thought I would, but nevertheless I did enjoy reading them over the past few months.

I've always enjoyed them, crime with a hint of supernatural. Easy to read too. Fairly fast paced.

Hmm I think I might struggle with the supernatural side of it, but I'll give the first one a go and see

They're not silly supernatural, just something in the background. And not all the time, lol.
