Where did we leave off at the end of the first book in the series?
What are you hoping for from the book?
Any other thoughts?

just looking for a god read and more time with Joe Plantagenet...maybe a little less with Emily Thwait. :) Still haven't decided what I think of her but I like him a lot.

>2 bhabeck: She is rather a strange character, who showed some poor judgement in the first book. In comparison Joe is quite a deep character!

Seeking the Dead (Joe Plantagenet #1) by Kate Ellis
When Carmel Hennessy begins a new job in North Yorkshire, she finds the historic city of Eborby gripped by fear. A killer is on the prowl - a killer who binds and asphyxiates his victims before leaving their naked bodies in isolated country churchyards. The press are calling him the Resurrection Man.
Tragic events from the past link Carmel with new-kid-on-the-block DI Joe Plantagenet, who, with his new boss, DCI Emily Thwaite, faces the unenviable task of identifying the killer before he claims another victim. The victims appear to have nothing in common but the manner of their deaths, but as Joe's investigations lead him to a pub with a sinister history, he is forced to consider that the case may have occult connections. Then Carmel becomes aware of a malevolent presence in her new flat and, when she starts to receive mysterious threats, it is Joe she turns to first. And that is when Joe is forced to get into the mind of a cunning - and scarily ruthless - killer.
Comments and Ratings:
Eadie - I found her writing to be very enjoyable and I loved her research about the city of York. 4.5
Andrew - It is pleasing to see an author that gives you enough details to get you involved in the story and to give you a real chance of working out who is behind the serial killing in this book. 4.5
Brenda - The book was well-written with a fast pace and interesting characters. Our group identified the killer fairly early on but even that didn't spoil the read. 4.0
Carol - The characters seem to have more substance and the plots moves along at a quicker pace. The structure of the plot is interesting and we learn of events from a number of different characters, including the killer. 4.5
Lynda - The author adds a bit of paranormal to a straightforward mystery but not so much that it becomes a paranormal themed book. 4.0
Sergei - Nicely written story, original plot line, interesting characterisations. 4.0
Jen - The writing style, the plot, the characters, the clues...there were many things I loved about this that will make me continue with the series. 4.0
Sushi - I liked the resolution of both the current and the ghost story. All nicely tied up. 4.0
I'm looking for more of the same that we got in the first book - great writing, interesting characters, fast moving plot, little bit of a ghost story and clues that keep us involved!

>4 EadieB: Thanks Eadie. Nice summary. I kept looking for the page to be set up but then we had company that didn't leave until some ungodly time of night so I didn't get to the site until this morning.

Didn't mean to take your job. Just thought I'd help you out. Thought you were so involved with Stuart MacBride and Ash Henderson! Just yawn in their face and open the door and get rid of the company! Don't they know that you have book business to take care of?

>4 EadieB: Nice work, Eadie - I didn't realise Carol hadn't written it 'til she commented on it... :)
I have no preconceptions for the book - just hoping to be entertained.
