“Great book!
In a similar style of Haruki Murakami but without the translation and for me better.
A Japanese young man leaves a remote coastal island and heads to the big city to find the father he never knew.
Very funny in places and gruesome in others, clever all the way through. READ IT NOW

“Thriller or Chiller: Both!
One of my favorite authors who always delivers something good and something different.
This novel has an excellent voice in the character Hesketh Lock, a global trouble shooter who has a form of Asperger’s syndrome. This provides some great stuff and I’d like it if he reappeared in another novel. Colin Mace who narrates this audiobook edition does a perfect job, one of my favorite narrators too.
Plot summary is kids start a mysterious and cataclysmic world state, sounds unlikely but she pulls it off

“Rather hard work this one and not as rewarding as others by the author.
The story is of a woman who has lost her lover and struggles to deal with the grief. She is a horologist and her boss gives her a plum job to construct a mechanical bird. This bird was a labour of love for a father to create for his son 200 years previously. Good and memorable in parts.

“I’m not much of a fan of writing teams, and I’m not convince to change my opinion with this husband and wife writing duo’s effort.
Irish serial killing murderer on the loose and a race against time to stop the macabre deaths.
Nothing wrong with it, just another average thriller but it did keep my attention.
