    Happy New Year! So go and read a book you otherwise wouldn't have!

    I have found a book with the word 'Malaysia' in it. It's on page 347, second line from the bottom. I will read it in November.

    If you don't want to start from book 1 ( there are 19 in total) start with 'In a Dry Season', that's the first book Annie appears in.

    Banks and Thorne.

    Out goes Morse, Barnaby, Frost and Tennison and in comes Banks and Thorne. Peter Robinson's, DCI Banks 'Aftermath' was an excellent start to what should hopefully be a long run of a new crime series. And we get to view Thorne this coming Sunday.

    errors in Lee Child book

    I have read Harlan Coben's Tell No One a while ago but I have forgotten much of the story, although I do remember it being a page turner. But it did not make me want to rush out and buy another one of his books. I remember thinking that it would have been better as a film script than a book...

    errors in Lee Child book

    errors in Lee Child book

    He is British and I guess he needs to do more research than your average US Thriller writer writing US thrillers. A bit like Elizabeth George in reverse.

    Martina Cole: The Know

    I have read The Know and The Take but I am not in a rush to read any more. I think Martina Cole is a bit like Marmite, you love it or can't stand it. You hit the nail on the head when you say it's long-winded and, quite frankly, tedious; but you would like to know how it ends. A good start to...
