Kissing the Beehive by Jonathan Carroll is an excellent, well written thriller. An author suffers writer’s block but rediscovers his enthusiasm when he revisits a murder from his childhood. A very readable story.
I nearly gave up on The Italian Quarter by Domenica de Rosa but I’m glad I didn’t! It’s an easy and enjoyable slice of Italian family life set against a background of Italian prisoners of war held in detention in England during the Second World War.
Trans Am by Rob Ryan is a terrific read. American pulp fiction from a Liverpool author! I read it over two days. Recommended.
House of Meetings by Martin Amis looked as if it would be another failed attempt at reading a Martin Amis novel (ie London Fields, twice, and Money) but I perserved and was rewarded with a gripping but harrowing tale set in the Soviet Union’s Gulag.
