Ross (3284 KP) created a post

In case anyone missed me reviewing each and every album of Rolling Stone's 2012 Greatest 500 Albums of All Time and spamming your feeds ... how?!
Well, I did it, from April 2020 to early July 2020 and discovered some new favourites (Funkadelic, Modern Lovers) and rediscovered some old loves (Elvis Costello, Radiohead). I loved it, and it saw me through the final unpleasant stages of losing my job, before I instead wrote a book (as yet un-edited and getting dusty) and got another job.
Sadly, in September, RS released a completely new list. Not like the 2012 list, which was just a minor shuffling of the 2003 one. This is a complete re-think. Luckily, some kindred spirit out there has compiled a spreadsheet comparing the three lists and it is very different.
Anyway, I am starting again with the new list and might just discover some more new loves (maybe some albums released post-2006!).
So you have been warned! Un-follow now, or face a certain spamming.

Book Rating
I have no shame in saying that I am a huge fan of Simon Kernick's work so was absolutely chomping at the bit to read this latest outing and I wasn't disappointed.

What we have here is a gripping and twisty plot of secrets and lies which is full of twists and turns that keep you guessing to the very end. Written at a strong pace, this book will have you turning the pages and your head spinning trying to work out just what the heck is going on ... in the way good thrillers do!

The cast of characters aren't particularly likeable, to the point where you don't really care what happens to any of them and actually look forward to them getting their comeuppance, but they are interesting and well developed and perfect for the story line.

Highly recommended for Simon Kernick fans and lovers of action packed thrillers that make you use your brain.
Thanks must go to Headline and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest, unbiased and unedited review.
