  • Round up the usual peakcocks

    By Donna Andrews
    3 stars

    Another nice read. Slightly formulaic but the pages keep turning and its nice to have a murder mystery where nobody dies (at least on screen)

  • The Twelve Jays of Christmas

    By Donna Andrews
    3 stars

    Enjoyable read, though follows a bit of a formulae.

  • Gone Gull

    By Donna Andrews
    3 stars

    Mystery at a mountainside craft workshop. Part of a series by the looks of it.

  • the Nam shadow

    By Carole Brungar
    4 stars

    Brought me back to reading "The Quiet American" at school...

  • Circle of Death

    By James Patterson & Brian Sitts
    3 stars

    Not a big fan of superhero books, but this was an enjoyable beach read.

  • The Russia House

    By John le Carre
    4 stars

    Post cold war spy-who-is-not. Keeps you guessing more or less to the end.

  • Secrets of the Tombs: The Phoenix Code

    By Helen Moss
    5 stars

    Helen Moss is always a great read. Teen-thriller but very well written without too many scary bits. You should also check out her "Adventure Island" series. Like the famous five... but with cell phones and parents who don't let them run totally wild.

  • The Three Investigators: The Mystery of the Smashing Glass

    By William Arden
    1 stars

    Touches all the bases of the original, but somehow lacks the punch of them.

  • Running Girl

    By Simon Masobn
    4 stars

    A hero... like SherlockHolmes... but lazier.

  • Under the mountain

    By Maurice Gee
    5 stars

    Great story st in Auckland in the 70s, and a quick read. Must go back and watch the TV series again now.

  • The Word is Murder

    By Anthony Horowitz
    3 stars

    Would have been better to read this before the fourth one (the Twist of a Knife). I think I prefer it, but having the author in their own book blending fiction and reality can still be a tad confusing.

  • The Sentence is Death

    By Anthony Horowitz
    0 stars

  • The Last Devil to Die

    By Richard Osman
    4 stars

    Murder series set in a retirement home... and this is the fourth. Who would have thought? Fun and sad, this story is perhaps not quite as good as the first ones, but still worth a read.

  • The Twist of a Knife

    By Anthony Horowitz
    3 stars

    Author appears in own story... not Alex Rider but a fine way to spend an afternoon.

  • The Martian

    By Andy Weir
    5 stars

    Great survival story with enough real science in it to keep things interesting. Every time you think he's actually going to survive... well... something else happens.

  • The Brothers Hawthorne

    By Jennifer Lynn Barnes
    4 stars

    A follow-up to the initial inheritance games series.
