The new Karen Campbell!

I just finished the fourth novel from Glaswegian writer Karen Campbell. In my book she's one of the very best writers of police novels in the UK over the last twenty years. This fourth book about Anna Cameron is quite possibly my favourite; the writing is exquisite; the characterizations genuine and the inclusion of scots vernacular somehow this time reminded me of Deon Meyer and the use of afrikaan terms in the English versions of his novels. Also in a similar way Campbell explores and explains the societal nerve of modern Scottish life and it is completely intriguing.

Plugged

Just finished this first noir novel by acclaimed creator of the Artemis Fowl kid's books. This is about an Irish ex-military working as a bouncer at a strip-joint in New Jersey when things start to go abysmally wrong. I enjoyed it, it has lots of humour and violence and I'm looking forward to reading more by Mr Colfer.
