Ambitious and atmospheric. We discussed this long into the night and collectively a 6/10 me a little less at 5/10. Organised crime of the 1720’s meets Bonnie and Clyde. Clever use of words and a made up language which takes some effort. I’ll recommend this
Score 5/10

My regular fix of Bryant and May the octogenarian detectives at the London Peculiar Crime Unit and all their sidekicks. If you haven’t tried one of these then treat your self 6/10

What would your score for this book be?
Not really a book that carried me to my warm and cosy book reading place. 3.5/10 and 5/10 for the group. Sigurjón Birgir Sigurðsson, known as Sjón, is an Icelandic poet, novelist, and lyricist. a young gay boy living in Iceland around the time of the Spanish Flu epidemic…. I don’t usually look at other reviews but on this occasion I peeked at GoodReads and so many people thought this a great book. So don’t take my word for it, decide for your self.

I read this knowing I’d meet up and introduce the author at an event. A well constructed and page turning thriller. I liked its broodiness and it captures Dublin nicely. I’d read more by him 5/10
