The Lost Daughter - Diana Chamberlain.
Okay, I'm a bit behind others who have read this, but it was truly brilliant. And so out of the genre that I usually read.....i.e. thrillers, mystery and suspense. I got a new Kindle and she was in the top 5 reviews on Amazon, so I downloaded it for £1.00. It's the best pound that I've ever spent.

1974 - David Peace.
First part of the Red Riding quartet. Starts off brightly enough, but soon descends into a deeply risible 'hard men' potboiler with far too much thrown into the pot. Bent coppers, bent press, bent local authorities, serial killer with secret lair, Charles Bronson revenge flick ending. All set in Yorkshire with lots of the Bay City Rollers. I enjoyed The Damned United and GB84, but this twaddle I couldn't take seriously. And there's three more. |

Room by Emma Donoghue. I've only just started and am finding the narrative from a 5 year old a bit off putting but I'll stay with it, I've read some good reviews.

I'm reading Engleby by Sebastian Faulks at the moment. It's much better than the previous two Faulks I read. |

My Childhood by Maxim Gorky - The first book of Gorky's autobiographical trilogy. Just started it and so far it's very good indeed.

Working my way through Tanya Huff's Blood Ties series of books (on which the TV series appears to be very loosely based) as a guilty pleasure before starting Ken Follett's Pillars of the Earth and/or Iain M Bank's latest

Echo Burning - Lee Child. I'm finding the Jack Reacher books compelling and I don't really understand why. All the ones I've read so far have had ridiculous plot lines, and I've noticed some of the dialogue is repeated throughout all of them.

I've just finished Robin Hobb's "Royal Assassin", the second in the Farseer Trilogy. It is an excellent read! I'm really looking forward to reading the third in due course!
Just started Robert Goddard's "Dying to Tell" but too early to tell if it's one of his good ones. |
