Okay so I have finished it now - I thought it was pretty good actually, a bit dull in the middle - I got slightly bored by everything that was happening in Nepal but on the whole an enjoyable read.
ETA just started The Accident by the same author |

The Tudor Wife by Emily Purdy.
A story told through the eyes of Jane Parker, Lady Rochford (wife of George Boleyn). Some of the scenes are clearly fictional, and the way she recounts conversations between George and Anne or Henry and Anne verbatim she must have done a lot of eavesdropping ![]() But I find it an interesting book, first because she paints a picture of unrequited love, and George's indifference to her, and the fact the story goes from the reign of Catherine of Aragon to the reign of Catherine Howard. I'm up to the beheading of Anne Boleyn. ![]() I've finished the book, and enjoyed it, except for the ridiculous idea of Anne of Cleves and Catherine Howard having a fling - that's not based on fact surely ![]() In fact I think Anne only returned to court once, at Christmas time, and Henry, Anne and Catherine ate a meal together

I'm currently reading Gorky Park by Martin Cruz Smith. A crime novel about a detective investigating three gruesome murders and crossing paths with the KGB and a dodgy American businessman. |

Just finished The Death Collectors by J A Kerley and now onto The Broken Souls by the same author. I've never read any of the series before, quite enjoying them.

One by One - Chris Carter.
Anyone read this? I've read some explicit gruesome literature before but this is something else. It's the first book that's freaked me out, so much (because the images were so vivid in my mind) that I've had to take breaks. I have to finish it though. |

finished 'Just what kind of mother are you?' by Paula Daly. this is a great thriller although it only gets a 4/5 from me as I found the main character deeply anoying. everything seemed to be all about her despite what her best friends family were going through. I won't be more specific as don't want to spoil anything.
Now reading Imperium by Robert Harris. very enjoyable so far. |

The Prisoner of Heaven by the Barcelona author Carlos Ruiz Zafon - have read Shadow of the Wind and The Angel's Game too which I also enjoyed. They are kind of mesmerizing books especially reading them late at night with hot chocolate or wine

That's on my pile of books awaiting a read. I really liked his previous crime novel, The Murder Bag.

I'm starting on two new books.
Down Among the Dead Men by Peter Lovesey, audiobook narrated by Michael Tudor Barnes. The 15th book in the series featuring DS Peter Diamond of Bath CID. In this story Diamond accompanies his boss on an investigation into police corruption in Chichester. I'm very fond of Roy Grace, Simon Serailler, Harry Nelson et al, but nobody compares to Peter Diamond, even though he must be about 102 by now and should have retired years ago! Last Night in Montreal by Emily St. John Mandel. "Lilia has been leaving people behind her entire life. Haunted by her inability to remember her early childhood, and by a mysterious shadow that seems to dog her wherever she goes, Lilia moves restlessly from city to city, abandoning lovers and friends along the way. But then she meets Eli, and he's not ready to let her go, not without a fight." I chose this one because her most recent book, Station Eleven, was one of my favourite reads last year. Last Night is her first novel. After a good start I've found my interest dropping off a bit, hopefully it will improve. |
