Louiseog Posted October 13, 2008 Author Posted October 13, 2008 Happiness TM - Will Ferguson: What happens when a self help book works, really black humour but ultimately humanity wins. 7/10 The Spellman Files - Linda Lutz: Funny and light. Sweetheart - Chelsea Cain: very gruesome second in a series, really thrilling thriller. 8/10 Book of the Dead - Patricia Cornwell: still OK but not great in comparison to the Cain one. Quote
Louiseog Posted October 17, 2008 Author Posted October 17, 2008 Book of the Dead - Patricia Cornwell: still OK but not great in comparison to the Cain one.

Murder With Peacocks - Donna Andrew 3/5 Agatha Raisin in the US easy and light. In Cold Daylight Pauline Rowson 3/5 not a great thriller Vows of Silence - Susan Hill 4/5 third (or fourth!)in Seraillier thriller series, I cried, love the way that the characters develop. Play Dead - Richard Monanari 4/5 another great thriller Exit Music - Ian Rankin 3.5/5 Rebus bows out in style The Woman on the Bus - Pauline McLynn 3.5/5 a lovely imaginative story about a community and the effects of a newcomer on it.
