If you like birds this is quite a nice book. You also have to like Rory McGrath.
It trundles along and has a certain charm. I’m not recommending it.

Excellent detective novel. The beginning of the series featuring French detective Adamsberg. Quick and compelling, I’ll recommend this easily to others.
Set in Paris, great atmosphere and a good plot. Adamberg is not like other detectives, he’s better.
Read more by this author.

Gothic, humorous and gentile.
Two elderly women in Whitby turn sleuths. It transpires we have The Bride of Frankenstein and Dracula rolled into the story.
Nonsense but fun.

Kids book which has been around for some time.
Ok, but dated and a bit simplistic. Has something though.
