If you’re putting this off because it’s not Shetland or Vera, don’t! It’s a great new series, with a character that you may not warm to at the first, but whose amazing vulnerability and insecurity gives him a greater authenticity. The crime is creepy, the setting is magnificent and I only wish it were longer!
This is his American novel – so if you’re familiar with his writing and that genre you’ll know what I’m talking about – it’s brilliant, and unsettling, as you realise just what “good people” are capable of, when they feel they have no other choice.
It took me two tries to get into this one, and then … BOOM! Gripping, edge of seat, action packed, with some amazing twists! The comparisons people are making just aren’t doing it justice – an absolute must for any Fantasy reader!
Such a gorgeous tale, so beautifully told – a must for the Grott Monsters in your life!
Another great offering, though I didn’t know what to expect. Coastal Australia in the 1960’s, with all the music, standover men, laid back attitudes and mysteries to uncover. Not to mention a side of Beat Poetry and fish appreciation!
Philosophy, ethics, and sensitive matters that require delicate handling… A gentle read to immerse yourself into, but make sure you have the time to enjoy the thrill of beautifully written words.
Mind. Blown. Again. Fast, sassy, bending all conventions and twisting them into a story that surpasses expectation. This will become a YA classic that will speak to everyone. The Breakfast Club for a new generation.
A small village with a big secret, and that’s where any comparison ends. Depth, perceptiveness, complex characterisations delicately unfolded. A great read!
Another wonderful book in the Rowly series, where bohemian naivety is fabulously presented in a very palatable package. “Whodunnit” eat your heart out!
