The Cry by Helen Fitzgerald
An upsetting read so far, not sure that I'll stick with it. Let me know if you continue or not with it. |

I've finished The Cry now. Quite a difficult read in places but very well written and saved from being too grim by the perspective of the baby's father's ex-wife and some black humour. The plot twists and turns unexpectedly. I'm glad that I stuck with it.
I'm now reading something much lighter, The Big Over Easy by Jasper Fforde, the first in the Nursery Crymes series. |

'The Storyteller' Jodi Picoult. Loving it. Very different from her previous stuff.

Doctor Sleep, Stephen King's belated sequel to The Shining.
Just as creepy and nasty as you'd hope.

At points though I nearly gave up and it is quite disturbing in places but i am enjoying reading the ex wife's section the most and the daughter. Strange that they thought this would be a possible solution to the problems. Did you get shades of McCann from it? |

The Twelve by Justin Cronin- I must be weird because I'm really enjoying it so far. I think the general consensus was that it was rubbish.

Finished " Red Card Roy" .. the colourful tale of striker/centerhalf Roy McDonough .. mainly drinking and womanising + a few footy matches in between!. Much better than the sterile autobiogs you get from your Beckhams and Giggses

The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams, more of a snack than a meal compared to Hitchhiker's :-P

I think that the reasoning for their solution becomes clearer as the book progresses, but it's still strange. The plot did put me in mind of the McCanns and also the Lindy Chamberlain case. Let me know what you think of the ending.

Really glad i continued with it, but it is quite sad when you think of noah I am now reading Christopher Ransom - The Orphan |

Had a bit of a charity shop spree over the weekend and am going to give the Inspector Montalbano books a go, starting with The Shape of Water, then on to a couple of Bryant and May mysteries by Christopher Fowler |
