Howard Linskey - No name lane
Got this on the kindle daily deal, enjoying it so far. Love when they reduce a book you probably wouldn't give a shot at full price and it's good, will be looking at the others in the series |

Ah. I love that Clint Eastwood movie, didn't know it was based on a book. Gene Hackman is great as the nasty President.

I'm reading The Girl with Glass Feet by Ali Shaw.
It's been described as a fairytale for adults. Ida MacLaird is slowly turning to glass and returns to the island where she believes that she was enchanted in search of a cure. I'm finding it difficult to get into this one. I'm listening to Different Class by Joanne Harris, narrated by Steven Pacey and Ewan Goddard. It follows on from a previous book, Gentlemen & Players, which I loved. Roy Straitley teaches Latin at a private school in North Yorkshire and is fast approaching retirement. When a new head teacher is appointed to turn around the now failing school, Straitley is disconcerted to recognise him as a troublesome former pupil. Set in 1981 and 2005. So far, very good. |

It's only just been published, so is rather expensive at the moment. This is where Audible comes in handy as everything costs 1 credit, even the new stuff!

I read The Hot Rock years ago, probably in the late 80's, and absolutely loved it.

The Wrong Side of Goodbye is scheduled for release in October 2016 and it says on Michael Connelly's website that it's a Bosch novel 😊

Currently reading The Bourne Supremacy. Thoroughly enjoying it. The first book was great and nothing like the film.
I am a big fan of Scott Mariani's Ben Hope series of books and I am awaiting delivery of his new one Star of Africa. I am really surprised this series has been picked up for a movie or two. It's all action and has great characterisation. |

Just finished Diana Gabaldon's Outlander books. Well I re-read from book 3 onwards and read the last 3 for the first time. Glad to be finished, I do find they get very long winded and convoluted as the books go on.
Now reading Rumour Has It by Jill Mansell |
