Compulsion by Jonathan Kellerman

*****

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

The Ghost by Robert Harris

*****

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...

God Is Not Great

*****

I was expecting great things in this book from a thinker I deeply admire. Unfortunately it has nothing new to say and has no chance of convincing anyone on either side of the fence. I'm not a big reader, I rarely read anything approaching philosophy...

My Favourite Wife by Tony Parsons

*****
