Chris Brookmyre is not one of my favourite authors. He is one of only three authors that my husband reads. So every now and again, if I don’t have any books to read, I resort to reading one of Chris’. My husband suggested this one as it is quite different to his other books. This book is set on a space station where hundreds of humans now reside building a colony ship – a ‘city in the sky’. This place is meant to be a […]
Don’t read this book unless you can commit to it.
This book is part of the Harry Hole series and follows on from The Snowman. For anyone interested in reading any of Jo’s books, it is not necessary to read them in order. I have been reading them as I find them – in no particular order, and have been able to follow the story with no issues. A vast majority of each book focuses on the current mystery/murder. Part of it relates to Harry’s personal life – but there is enough back story and […]
A little bit of Rear Window…
I love love love this book!! A number of twists that I did not see coming! I can’t talk too much about it, as I don’t want to give anything away, but as far as suspense thrillers go, this is one of my top 5! A. J. Finn certainly manages to create a gripping tale. The main character, Anna, is rather frustrating, as she is an alcoholic and you often just want to scream at her to not have a glass of wine. However it […]
Could a doll be the link to the missing sister?
Wowsers!! What a fabulous read. I picked this book up purely because it was facing me on the library bookshelf and I needed something new to read. I was not disappointed!! This book magically weaves family generational dynamics with a whole pot of mystery and intrigue. Also add a dash of creepy dolls into the mix and you have a recipe for a book you cannot stop reading!!!! This book follows three generations of a family. From the mother, who has spent her life making […]
My break up letter to Janet Evanovich
Ah Janet. Where to begin. Or should I start saying, “when should I stop?” I am an avid fan of the Stephanie Plum series. And as I mentioned in a previous review, despite being up to book 24 in the Stephanie Plum series, and despite every book following the same formula, each book is a quick easy read guaranteed to have me chuckling. Every now and again I venture out and try one of Janet’s other book endeavours. So I read Curious Minds. I […]
Ramblings of a Jo Nesbo fan.
Yes I still love Jo Nesbo, and yes, I will continue to read his books until he begins to disappoint. However that has not happened yet!! I have happened upon a Jo Nesbo series that does not involve Harry Hole. Gasp! I spent a long time in these books waiting for everything to go wrong and murders to be committed etc (just like the Harry Hole books), but this series is definitely not the same. Yes it has the same stylings of Jo’s writing, his […]
