One Man's Opinion: CHARLIE 316 by COLIN CONWAY and FRANK ZAFIRO
My previous encounters with Spokane have been limited, as far as I can remember, to episodes of Frasier where it is used as the butt of many a joke.This time, I arrived at a very different kind of place. Charlie 316 opens with a car chase that escalates into an ambush and a shootout where the […]
DOWN & OUT BOOKS PRICE SLASH
It's almost February, which means it's also almost Valentine's Day and that my latest novel is in season. Down & Out books are marking the occasion by slashing the price to a mere 77p in the UK or 99c in the US. And that's not all. The price of Let It Snow, the opening book in the […]
One Man's Opinion: HERMIT by SR WHITE
Dana Russo, an Australian detective working out in the wilds, is having a bad day. In fact, it's the same bad day she has every year as the events of a personal anniversary surface to challenge her will to live. When a local shopkeeper is murdered early that morning, it proves to be a distraction […]
One Man's Opinion: ROGUE MALE by GEOFFREY HOUSEHOLD
My copy of Rogue Male is published as one of Orion's Crime Masterworks. I guess that should make the author a household name, though I very much doubt that is the case. Rogue Male wasn't the story I expected. It tells the story of a hunter on the run after attempting to assassinate a European leader […]
One Woman's Opinion: MY FUNNY VALENTINE by NIGEL BIRD
IgniteTOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE VOICE5.0 out of 5 stars Complex and grippingReviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 December 2020This is an excellent and gripping story that revolves around a serial killer who strikes just before, and on, St Valentine’s Day. This central core is interwoven with some of the police officers’ back-stories, including one whose cousin is in thrall […]
One Man's Opinion: LIKE LOVE by ED McBAIN
It's 173 pages long and it catches the interest from the off, so it's a mystery to me that it took me almost four months to read this, my latest in the line of 87th Precinct novels. Truth is, it's not likely to be the book's fault at all- I put it down to losing […]

Only the police can prevent him from hitting his target before Valentine’s Day comes to a close.It’s almost twenty years since the last Double Dutch killing and he’s back with a vengeance.

ELVIS LIVES, BUT WE'RE ALL DEAD by CHRIS CRAVEN
A Salford lad sets out to hitchhike his way to Munich. A helter-skelter road trip ensues. Destinies collide, lives are changed forever. This darkly comic tale asks the less than comical question - Who are the real psychopaths amongst us?"A gripping rollercoaster ride" John Robb. Louder than WarHere's something new, in more ways than one: […]
Lockdown Literature
September 29th. That was the last blog post here. It's been an age and reflects the impact of Coronavirus and the lockdown on my state of being. That last post, Clearing Out The Family Home, was about a great piece of radio and if you didn't give it a listen, I think it's well worth […]
Packing Up The Family Home
It may be one of the least discussed rites of passage, but is nonetheless loaded with emotional weight - clearing out the family home. With our dad having recently moved into a care home and our mum long-since passed, my brother Geoff put together a piece on sorting, sifting and cleaning half-a-century's worth of stuff at […]
