    • FEVER
       Rosa Santiago, a healer who relies on the natural resources of her island, is helping yet another army deserter to escape, only this time things are different. She cares for the soldier, for a start, and he has news of a mysterious plague that is devastating the barracks from which has escaped. General Corales, leader […]
    • One Man's Opinion: THE UNPICKING by DONNA MOORE
      The Unpicking tells the story of three generations of women, each the victim of cruel injustices that reflect the institutionalised prejudices of society and the harsh impact of economic structures.   In the opening section, set in 1877, we meet Lilias. She’s a vulnerable teenager whose parents have just died and who has found a […]
    • One Man's Opinion: WITCHES COPSE by MATH BIRD
       You don't read a book about witches for a decade, then take on two at once. What's that about? Perhaps it was just my good fortune. This time, the book came in the form of an audio version over at Audible. Listening to novels isn't my usual style. Though I love spending time with my radio, […]
    • One Man's Opinion: PINE by FRANCINE TOON
      I remember the release of this one, how I loved the cover and the name. My curiosity deepened when it won the McIlvanney Prize for the Scottish crime book of the year back in 2020. I'm not sure where the time went. I finally lifted Pine  from the pile and began. As with so many of the […]
    • One Man's Opinion: JIGSAW by ED McBAIN
      This was an interesting one for me. It brought two of my favourite things, the 87th Precinct books and Lt. Columbo, together in a way that I wasn't expecting. The blurb hinted at the connection, but it took me until the first illustration of the piece of a photograph to confirm that they were going […]
    • One Man's Opinion: LITTLE CAESAR by W R BURNETT
       'Rico was a simple man. He loved but three things: homself, his hair and his gun. He took excellent care of all three.' Takes me back, this, to the days when Saturdays were black and white and to trips to the Scala cinema in Kings Cross where a double or triple bill of gangster movies ranked […]
    • One Man's Opinion: FULL DARK HOUSE by CHRISTOPHER FOWLER
       I've often been tempted by these books, partly because of the great covers, because of the recommendation of Keith Nixon and due to the names of the central characters. Now, I've finally dipped in my toe and I can pass on the verdict: come on in, the water's fine. It's been a while since my last […]
    • One Man's Opinion: LEMONS NEVER LIE by RICHARD STARK
      Lemons Never Lie is a book that just keeps on giving, unless you happen to be the protagonist (Alan Grofied), in which case it keeps on giving and taking and giving and taking and so on. Grofield is invited to LA to talk about a job. At the airport, while awaiting his bags, he plays the […]
    • One Man's Opinion: COP KILLER by SJOWALL & WAHLOO
       I suspect that Cop Killer isn’t typical of the Martin Beck series. Still, it’s the first I’ve read and there’s enough in the novel to make me want to visit again. A woman is murdered on the edge of a small Swedish town and her body is hidden by the killer. Martin Beck and Lennart […]
    • One Man's Opinion: MR PARADISE by ELMORE LEONARD
      Mr Paradise is a bit of an old pervert. To get his kicks, he watches recordings of games where Michigan win with live, scantily-clad cheerleaders strutting their stuff in front of the TV. When the game is over, the party starts. On one particular night, Mr Paradise’s paid companion, Chloe, persuades her model friend, Kelly, […]
