Book 21
Faceless Killers by Henning Mankell
⭐⭐⭐⭐
First book in the Kurt Wallander series. Great story, prose felt a bit flat, maybe something lost in translation?

Jamie can see dead people. He's doing ok(ish) until grownups, and a demon from beyond the grave get involved. Just below top drawer King.

Book 18
The Alienist by Caleb Carr
⭐⭐
Lots of love for this book, but it just didn't work for me. Has some moments of interest , but mostly a bit boring, and a little bit pleased with itself.

Book 16
A Time Of Torment by John Connolly
(Charlie Parker #14)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Waco vibes, but how far and how low will that isolated community go? Hand down the best Charlie Parker novel yet. Bar is high and keeps getting higher.

Book 15
Middle Of The Night by Riley Sager
⭐⭐⭐
Slightly above average thriller, but o many twists. So many that even though there is no mention of her anywhere in this book, I thought Dolly Parton was the big bad.

Book 12
The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Arrogant preacher Nathan Price takes on more than he bargained for when he uproots his family and moves them to the Congo.

Cover jacket for the book The Lie by Helen Dunmore. A soldier stood on the edge of a WW1 battlefield. Another solider looking down at his helmet.

Book 11
The Lie by Helen Dunmore
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Behind him the horror of the trenches of WW1, ahead of him the terrible unforeseen consequences of a lie. Would have been 5⭐if not for the time shifting prose which made reading difficult at times.

Book 8
Engleby by Sebastian Faulks
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Student, Petty Criminal, Stalker, Journalist, Psychopath.
Sometimes funny but mostly dark and extremely unsettling. Will admit, some of the philosophising went over my head.

Book 7
The Plot Against America by Philip Roth
⭐⭐⭐
Alternative history, 1940 the USA elect a fascist president. Chilling similarities to what's happening over the pond at the moment, but it's hard work due to Roth's rambling prose.

Book 5
The Magus by John Fowles
⭐⭐⭐⭐
A complex jigsaw of sex, psychology, identity, nature, lies, truth, class, misogyny, mythology, and an 18” phallus. A bit like the film SAW but without the torture or the thing on the bike.
