  1. No she didn't had forgotten that one! Lullaby Clare Seeber This was a great thriller, had me gripped to the last page. 5/5
  2. 1-Who was your favourite character and why? I loved Hebe, her originality and spirit, and Mary Braithwaite different sorts of angels. 2- Was there a particular part you enjoyed/disliked more than the rest? Although it was set over quite a short period of time I did enjoy 3- Was this the first book you've read in this genre/by this author, has it encouraged you to read more? I think this is my genre, Claire Chambers, Maggie O'Farrell, Jane Gardem. Great 4- Were there any parts/ideas you struggled with? No 5- Overall, was reading the book an enjoyable experience? I really enjoyed this, felt its theme of finding angels everywhere was lovely.
  3. And great middle and end, will post on relevant thread. Artemis Fowl and The Time Paradox, great !
  4. Enjoyed Food of Love, sort of Cyrano de Bergerac for cooks and made me very hungry! Whitewash by Alex Kave, environmental theme, good thriller. Entertaining Angels, for book of the month. Promising start
  5. Why oh why did I read this thread? Now I'm desparate to read ANOTHER book:irked:
  6. Have now read three of this authors books about a coroner who lives and works in Laos. They are great, Dr. Siri Paiboun is a wonderful character and the books are becoming more and more sophisticated and ethereal as they go on. Basically its murder mystery with an ancient coroner in Laos he has two side kicks, an overweight nurse who is a better coroner than him, and a mortuary aide who has Downs. The two twists are the tales of converting a country from a Bhuddist (at least I think its Bhuddist!) monarchy to a communist state and also that Siri Paiboun is the reincarnation of an ancient spirit. The books are The Coroner's Lunch, Thirty Three Teeth and Disco for the Departed. The author's website is here
  7. This Charming Man was good, I like MK because she never lets you down, always a good read! Food of Love by Anthony Capella.
  8. Colin Cotterill - Disco for the Departed, great great I love this series about a coroner in Laos, very Precious McKenzie. Blind Faith - Ben Elton another fantastic book, dystopian world very clever and eerie Toby Alone - Timothy de Frombelle another great book, created a world that worked. It's number one in the series can't wait for the next. Now Marian Keyes - This Charming Man
