“Lincoln Rhyme novel.
The good thing about Deaver is the pages fly by. If you haven’t read one for a while it’s easy to forget there will be a twist in the tail.
An entertaining if a bit gruesome 6/10
Score 6/10

“Not his usual Nic Costa Rome series. A standalone.
Mostly this was really good but I felt it lost it’s way a bit towards the end. But do read it. Set in Florence there is lovely sense of place, his two main characters, one a retired/sick detective and the other a young and beautiful art student have a nicely worked dynamic.
Hewson is as good as Rankin and other crime thriller novelists about today in the UK. 6/10

“I know this won a CWA new dagger award but I felt it tried too hard, falling between stories and failing all around.
There is a serial killer on the loose in New Orleans 1919, is he real or what? We also have intertwined with the story a young Louis Armstrong, disgraced ex cop/ex con, unpopular chief detective…
I couldn’t be bothered to finish the book 3/10
