TOP READER (LEADER) 1
β¦
MILKMAN
βThis is a brilliant and important book set in the time of the βtroublesβ in Belfast. One of those books which you know are clever but you donβt actually enjoy. It is written in a strange style, which I found difficult but I stuck to it grimly and finished it.β

WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING
βI was lent this at Christmas with not much of a recommendation so I didn't know what to expect and I thought it was amazing. It is so descriptive of the unusual surroundings that the main character lives in, a curious marshland area.β
&
β¦
RACHELβS HOLIDAY
β β¦ about a young woman who agrees to go to a "Health Farm" to be helped with her drug addiction, paid for by her family.Β Β She agrees, expecting it to be very glamorous and full of media stars, but it is run down and scruffy. The book is quite readable and touching in places as inmates have to talk about their troubles and get sensible counselling.β
&
β¦
THE MIDWIFE MURDERS
β β¦ a thriller with lost babies and dodgy obstetricians as its main characters, readable but nothing special.β
&
β¦
THE GOLDFINCH
βAn amazing book. I won't describe it to you as it covers so many different subjects and emotions and I expect you've all read it. I got a bit bogged down with about the last quarter of the book when it concentrates on criminal gangs bargaining stolen paintings.β

BURNING ROSES
βI love these books, historically accurate and a great story woven round the facts.β

GROWN UPS
βAn enjoyable book but not one of her best.β
&
β¦
THE INK BLACK HEART
β β¦ again quite an enjoyable book but not one of her best.β
π
β¦
BLEEDING HEART YARD
β β¦ routine detective story. Easy read, I wanted to check out this author as our daughter in law asked for a forensic detective novel for Christmas. This one wasn't forensic but one of her other characters is a pathologist.β
&
β¦
THE BULLET THAT MISSED
β β¦ light hearted and tongue in cheek, mature detectives on the loose.β
&
β¦
THE TWIST OF A KNIFE
β β¦ set in a West End theatre where Horowitz plays himself as the playwight. A Christmas present and very enjoyable.β
MEANWHILE THE OTHER HALF
β¦
ACT OF OBLIVION
β β¦ which he is enjoying. Another Christmas present β¦ must have read something else!β
