Very clever twists from Peter James. Reserving for Daffodil-2.

Given to me today by Emscott10 when we met for a catch-up. Thanks-it looks like a good quick read.

My husband read this book in one sitting and said it was quite an enjoyable read.
It will now go on my shelf until I can fit it into one of Plum-Crazy's monthly "what to read" themes.

REVIEW:-This was a rather crude and very gory tale but it rushed along making me want to know what happened next. I think the Police investigation was a little lacking in some departments but it kept me entertained for the few hours that it took to read it.".

This book will be sent as a surprise RABCK to another bookcrosser.

To the finder:-
Welcome to bookcrossing -you have found a travelling book. Please make a journal entry now to say where you found the book in case it has been moved. Then, when you have read it, please come back and make a further entry saying whether or not you enjoyed the book and why. It is now yours to do as you like with it, pass it to a friend or just leave it somewhere different for someone else to find and help it with its' journey. Of course if you can't bear to part with it at the moment then keep it, but please let me know that you have found it. If you join bookcrossing, which is free and spam-free, you can follow the book on its' travels as you will get an email each time it changes hands, but if you prefer to remain anonymous, that's fine too. Please also say what you intend to do with the book next. Thanks for coming onto the site to let me know you have found the book.

I already have books travelling in many countries around the world-a list can be found on my bookcrossing profile.

When re-releasing this book please be aware that airports are not a good place to leave books unless they have a specific book exchange shelf or area, due to security problems, so they may well just be disposed of. Also charity shops may well discard books that have been labelled in any way and they mostly chose only the books in the very best condition
to place on their shelves and discard the rest-so another bad release option.

Returned from a weekend in Cornwall to find this lovely surprise waiting for me. Thanks for sharing I look forward to reading it.

This book, little more than a novella, is set in Brighton and centres around Victor and Joan Smiley, a married couple in their forties. Victor and Joan have been married nearly twenty years but their marriage has reached breaking point.

Due to the brevity characterisation is sketchily but generally effectively done, similarly there is little in the way of a back story but what there is are a number twists and turns, some I them I expected some of them of I didn't.

This book is part of the Quick Reads series, which puts a real onus on the writer's use of vocabulary and ability. Some of these books seem to work whilst others don't. This I fear falls into the latter group. That's not to say that it is a not totally without its merits. I read this in one sitting so if you are looking for an introductory book for the author or want something not too demanding for your commute to and fro work, then this would be fine but if you are looking for something a little more demanding then I would suggest that look elsewhere.

Going out as a BookMooch. Enjoy!

Just received from Peter, another UK member of bookmooch.com.
It will go in my extensive TBR pile but if you want it, let me know.

Finally read it because I need to send it out again. It was a fun 30 minutes. I liked the brevity and the fact I didn't need to remember who was who for a change. Perfect for a lunchtime at work.

Posted from London, UK to Chelmsford, UK to booktwitcher, as a Bookcrossing birthday present. Hope it arrives safely.

A birthday rabck from Russbaum - thank you.

A quick and easy read but very enjoyable - and I agree with another journaller reminiscent of Roadl Dahl

For the snap challenge 🫰
