Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Outside (Outside #1) in Books

Jan 12, 2018

Everything has consequences. All actions are linked. That is the way [Shalini Boland] manages the novel [Outside]. This post-apocalyptic story takes place in England after a worldwide rash of terrorist attacks. The country has been divided into numerous walled cities of various stature and safety.

The twists and turns in this book will leave you wanting to find out more. I really enjoyed this story. I received it as a give away as part of the [Shattered World] books. I really recommend this book to anyone who likes dystopian novels.

RaeJ (5 KP) rated Love You Dead (Roy Grace book 12) in Books

The storyline in general is very good and it stays true to real life when the scene is described as it's set primarily in Brighton, England. Peter James has a very good descriptive style with his work and it definitely shows with this story. (1 more)

This book is very gripping and it definitely keeps you engaged and wanting to read more.

The one thing that I'd comment on is the ending. It felt like it ended very abruptly to me in the way the main character is caught. (0 more)

Mar 1, 2018

As the title suggest, the book is the true account of the activities of medical pathologist Dr. Simeon and his secretary Molly Lefebure (who is also the author of the book) ,during the Second World War . The book describes several murder investigations during this time and it is interesting to see who ordinary crime did not stop simply because there was a war on.

Overall the book gives the reader a fascinating insight into forensics during WWII in England and is a definitely a must read for these with a interest forensics from this period.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2460 KP) rated Peter and the Sword of Mercy (Peter and the Starcatchers, #4) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

The authors take their Peter Pan prequels to the era we know best as Peter must team up with Wendy to save Molly, George, and all of England from a new threat still after the star stuff. If you've enjoyed the others in the YA series, you'll certainly enjoy this one. The multiple plots actually seemed to compliment each other, and I always had a hard time putting the book down.
