I only heard about the show (which I like a lot) fairly recently and had no idea there were books available but not surprised).
New Kindle read: [I]The Hunted Woman[/I] (1916) by James Oliver Curwood.

Starting tomorrow, my latest non-Kindle book will be [I]Lord Peter: The Complete Lord Peter Wimsey Stories[/I]* (1972) by Dorothy L. Sayers.
* All of the short stories, not the novels.

Ye, it's a great show so long as you don't take it too seriously. It's so different to the likes of Morse (also a great show as are Lewis and Endeavour, and even better books) or A Touch of Frost, but it's so good. The books actually came first and there are only five (or six maybe, I forget and CBA checking), but they make up the first corresponding episodes of series 1, which now that I think about it only has five episodes so there must be five books. I remember a few years ago I read this article where somebody had calculated the murder rate in Midsomer, it wasn't good :p

The thing about the show is, after you get through three eps you realise that every single episode is exactly the same. Also, it kind of sucks that Barnaby never manages to actually catch the culprit before they end up dead themself, he would be out of the job after a couple of cases I'd think...

Yeah, sometimes I think I'd rather live in Gotham City than there. :)

Yeah, while the show is formulaic, I always enjoy the ride.
To be fair, the show is supposed to be formulaic :p
I'm currently reading [B]Mistborn Book 3: The Hero Of Ages[/B].

I finished an advance copy of the new Michael Connelly novel [I]The Night Fire[/I].
Finally getting around to the Wheel of Time books. I've heard so much about them, lets see if they live up to the hype. There are like 14 books in the series but don't think I'm gonna try and knock them all out just yet

[QUOTE=Hiromi;4593001]Word of warning we've been waiting on the next book since 2013, the first two make for pretty good standalones but the third was meant to kick off a more overarching story. And then the author had personal stuff happen and we've been waiting ever since[/QUOTE]
[I]The Doors of Stone[/I], [I]Winds of Winter[/I], and now [I]The Thorn of Emberlain[/I] Why is that fantasy writers take a decade off before they finish?
