"This thriller is among the most exciting novels I have read recently. I read it in two days. It really gets you thinking about the idea that there are other versions of ourselves who took a different path. Blake also wrote the original novellas of my TNT show, “Good Behavior.”"

Could not put this book down, just as the review from the Daily Mail says 'Forces you to turn each page'

The mystery of the killer keeps you captivated all the way through.

Definetly worth a read to any lover of crime novels.

"She accomplishes in this novel what I’m always trying to do in film: make the mundane extraordinary not by adorning it but by telling it as it is. It combines deadpan humor with romantic yearning and makes you want to read more novels and maybe also try to learn Russian."

This novel immediately reminded me of Louise Penny’s Inspector Gamache series. The bucolic setting is similar as well as the structure and characters. I found this story a bit slow and drawn out. Although it is a good book and up to par with Penny’s novels, it is not for me.

Great holiday read!
This book is perfect if you're trying to get into crime novels, but aren't ready to have your head completely stir fried! It's simply written and an overall great read! I did predict the ending, however i still enjoyed the ending as all loose ends were fully tied!

Excellent fantasy crime noir
I love this game - a great investigative story, with brilliant characters, and great gameplay. Probably my favourite one of Telltale's games, and highly recommended.

Final entry in CS Forester's Hornblower series, set after the Napoleonic wars and in which a now retired Hornblower in his 70s meets and aids what he initially thinks is a madman, who is claiming to be Napoleon.

Interesting enough, but really only whets the appetite for the full-length novels!

The second - and, following his untimely death in 2015, last - of the late, great Sir Terry Pratchett's Moist von Lipwig sub-series of Discworld novels (after 'Going Postal'), that see's Moist himself put in charge of the ailing Ankh-Morpork central bank, and introducing - shock! gasp! - a new form of paper currency.

To my recollection, this also is one of the few Discworld novels (41 in total, of which this was number 36) in which the Patrician plays a central role - he's in more than a few, yes, but not always to this extent - and in which he is fleshed out as a character. I would loved to have seen where his plans for Moist would have taken him ...
