“A grieving wife writes to Osama Bin Laden is not an easy concept to carry off, but he does it well.
Arsenal Football ground is the setting of a terrorist bombing and London is under curfew. I’d recommend this one.

Score 6.5/10

“Number two. We find out more about the wonderful Lisbeth Salander.
Super thriller, credible, fast paced page turning cracker.

“Crickey, probably another series/trilogy. I must stop doing this,
Billed as a vampire/shocker/thriller it does almost what it says on the tin,
It didn’t shock or thrill me or the book club members.
Some good visuals and atmosphere but all a bit clichéd and predictable.
Give me Dracula anytime.

Score 4.5/10
