The Birth of Venus by Sarah Dunant. I LOVE this book.

Re: Book Recommendations
Sarah Caudwell's Thus Was Adonis Murdered takes place in Italy, but is set during modern day and is a funny murder mystery book.

Sarah Caudwell was the best.

What do you all think of Tana French's Cassie Maddox books?

Re: Book Recommendations
I loved In the Woods and didn't much care for The Likeness, which felt like a rehash of The Secret History (which I loathed) with a ridiculous coincidence driving the plot. As for the rest of her Dublin Murder Squad series, I really liked Faithful Place, liked Broken Harbor and hated The Secret Place.

Thanks, I think I'll give In The Woods a try.

Re: Book Recommendations
Some friends and I want to start a book club, and I need some recommendations for a first book. I'm looking for something not too long or dense (we're all mothers of toddlers), and something with wide appeal. I'm not too sure what types of books they normally read. Something with humor would probably be good. I was thinking of How to Build a Girl by Caitlin Moran but would like to offer a few options. Any suggestions?

Re: Book Recommendations
I think Eva Rice's The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets would probably be something engaging and short enough for a first book. I loved that novel when I read it years ago and am actually overdue for a re-read.

Re: Book Recommendations
I loved How To Build A Girl, and am also recommending Liane Moriarty's latest a lot - Big Little Lies. Both are fun, quick reads. The Moriarty is long-ish, but moves fast.

Re: Book Recommendations
I literally just finished How To Build A Girl last week and really enjoyed it. The main character is very funny and the story moves along at a good pace.
