Usual murder mystery fiction featuring psychologist Alex Delaware partnered with LAPD detective Milo Sturgis. Grand easy holiday read that raced along but the plot I shall probably have forgotten by vacation's end. #book #fiction

I really enjoyed this novel, a total page turner that raced along. It's narrated by the ghost writer of the former British prime minister, who's brought in on the project after the sudden death of the first writer. The ex PM Adam Lang and his wife Ruth...

So Wimbledon was in progress, I was in my local bookshop and this novel caught my eye. Its the story of Willy, a low ranking tennis professional on the way up when we first encounter her. She's been playing tennis since aged four and is now...

Easy to read, page turner of a novel whose main character is Peter, a bullied teenager, who heads into high school one morning armed and kills ten people. I found many of the characters to be cliched and a bit one dimensional. But despite that the...

My mother in law lent me this book a few weeks ago and it was a good read up to a point. My main gripe is its very disappointing ending which then tarred the whole novel as I wondered “why the hell did I bother reading that?” Its set in...

I always want Danny Boyle movies to be great but his record really is more misses than hits. This snoozefest is yet another miss. Kubrick has a lot to answer for. It's like everyone is trying to out-do him by making the most boring space walk of all...
