A thriller which lacks credibility and falls short on depth. There a loads of better thrillers on the shelves.

A page turning novel to fall into and emerge with a happy glow. I don’t generally read this genre but made a lovely change. Nice one!

Not your run of the mill novel. I question what is going on and it’ll keep you guessing after the book is finished. Very well written. The obsessive mismatched newlywed couple. A dreamy novel. I like the wind swept setting and the cosy cottage.

Isn’t it lovely when you find a good book. And this certainly is a good book. His writing is a breath of fresh air, not formulaic or contrived. It is a comic novel, not a long book and wizzes along, laugh out loud. Our protagonist is a bit of a yuppy, he messes up and his life spirals out of control. The more he try’s to fix it the worse it gets. Great book, maybe more of a blokes book?
