I brought four books to the south coast of Cyprus and enjoyed them all:
 |
1. Harlan Coben - Caught. Another stand-alone thriller about the suburban soul. Perhaps not his finest, but quite thrilling and his characters are overall believable and engaging. |
 |
2. Don Winslow - Savages. Yeah! This is not actually published until June, but I was lucky and got a hold of a prepublication copy. This is great writing, political, smooth, SoCal/Mexico drug wars/philosophy. Great language, solid points made. Highly recommended. When you can find it... |
 |
3. Jonathan L Howard - Johannes Cabal the Necromancer. Good, original, English, somewhat gaimanesque, a bit quirky fantasy. Johannes sold his soul to the devil ten years ago and now he wants it back! A deal is struck, but who's fooling who? Read! |
 |
4. Karen Campbell - Shadowplay. The third novel about glaswegian police-woman Anna Cameron, this is not actually published until next month, but Karen was nice enough to present me with a sneak preview copy... These novels are so good. Anna Cameron is such an intriguing character and the writing here really shines. Great intrigue. Do not miss out on these books! |

In the aftermath of a shocking death, students and teachers at an elite English school grapple with their disorientation and grief. Yet the bell continues to ring, and amidst sorrow, normal life – lessons, arguments, flirtations – goes on. At the seeming centre of the clock’s sweeping hands is Tin, feared and adored in equal measure, and newly betrayed by Robin, her best friend. As the heat of the late spring day intensifies, allegiances strain, rivalries escalate, and old secrets begin to surface… // Discuss in the Fiction reading group //
