One Man's Opinion: HERMIT by SR WHITE

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 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 […]

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 […]
