British crime novellist Mo Hayder. As a former Page 3 model and actress, we know her better as Candy Davis, who appeared as Miss Belfridge in the BBC sitcom "Are You Being Served?" Her father an astrophysicist, and mom a schoolteacher, the lovely Miss Candy drifted to Tokyo, where she taught foreign language.

"Perfume: The Story Of A Murderer", Patrick Süskind

This book... scared me, to say the least. It is extremely well-written, and the descriptions are so vivid that they even caused strong physical symptoms in me sometimes.

In the beginning, I liked Grenouille's character. Even when he killed that first girl, strangely enough, I didn't feel too strongly about that.

But when he laid eyes on Laura Richis and started investigating how to capture her smell, and every atrocity that came with that search, it made me sick to my stomach.

Perhaps it was the fact that it was so carefully planned and anticipated by Grenouille, perhaps it was something else... I found his selfishness, his total lack of respect for human life and his disdain towards everyone else extremely revolting.

In conclusion, it's a good book, that yet again made me reflect on how far human cruelty and evil can go.

Oh my heart! A really amazing review of my new novel The Echo of Water which follows queer PI Alex James as she tracks her missing friend across Europe.

Hard Case Crime, February 2012

The year is 1977, and America is finally getting over the nightmares of Watergate and Vietnam and the national hangover that was the 1960s. But not everyone is ready to let it go. 

Not aging comedian Koo Davis, friend to generals and presidents and veteran of countless USO tours to buck up American troops in the field. And not the five remaining members of the self-proclaimed People's Revolutionary Army, who've decided that kidnapping Koo Davis would be the perfect way to bring their cause back to life...

FANS OF THE ALIENIST WILL LOVE THE RIPPER LIVES.

About The Ripper Lives: JACK THE RIPPER'S REIGN OF TERROR CONTINUES The world’s most elusive and terrifying serial killer returns in the 10-part serialized Victorian gothic murder mystery novel The Ripper Lives. Dripping with 19th-century atmosphere and intrigue, each thrilling, suspense-filled chapter ends with a shocking cliffhanger that compels the reader forward. The fear builds as the historical horror story unfolds, culminating in an explosive, mind-bending conclusion.

The Ripper Lives is a sequel to the true story that commences after the slayings of the Canonical Five. As a secretly appointed task force works to bring the butcher to justice under the radar of the newspapers, the unsuspecting public believes the threat has subsided. But while hiding in the shadows, the serial killer's compulsion to mutilate has grown exponentially stronger, and for Whitechapel, the harrowing nightmare of tension and terror has only just begun.
