Best Kept Secret - Jeffrey Archer - book 3 of the Clifton Chronicles - I love getting stuck in to these family sagas and I'm really enjoying this series.

The Forgotten Legion by Ben Kane
Have gotten really into Roman stuff lately, Douglas Jackson and Anthony Riches. Hopefully this will be just as good! |

Royal Escape - Georgette Heyer
Splendid account of King Charles ll fleeing from the Battle of Worcester, and seeking safe houses in order to reach the Channel to sail to safety in France. Wonderful characters litter the story, Charles sparkling wit, is a joy to read, and as this book was published in 1938, held up remarkably well. Must read more of Heyer in the future. |

The Rest is Noise: Listening to the Twentieth Century. Alex Ross Quote:
The landscape of twentieth-century classical music is a wild one: this was a period in which music fragmented into apparently divergent strands, each influenced by its own composers, performers and musical innovations. In this comprehensive tour, Alex Ross, music critic for the ‘New Yorker’, explores the people and places that shaped musical development: Adams to Zweig, Brahms to Björk, pre-First World War Vienna to ‘Nixon in China’.
Above all, this unique portrait of an exceptional era weaves together art, politics and cultural history to show how twentieth-century classical music was both a symptom and a source of immense social change |

Normal - Graeme Cameron. Told from the first person point of view of a serial killer. Bit disappointed, finding is curiously uninvolving and flat, but the majority on Amazon loved it, so it may just be me.

I've been re-reading Diana Gabaldon books as I've been watching Outlander. So far I've read Outlander, Dragonfly in Amber, Voyager and Drums of Autumn. Having a break from those now though.
About to start The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins. |

Breaking the Silence - Diane Chamberlain.
Slow build up, but unusual and intriguing story. Well written, but a bit too slow in parts for my taste. That said, the subject matter really interested me. |

Just finished book 3 of the Clifton Chronicles series by Jeffrey Archer and I'm going to read a few other books before I move onto book 4 so I've started The Ice Twins by SK Tremayne.
