Author

Review

Nic Costa must be the unluckiest cop in Rome.  He seems always to end up with a bum partner, and it always seems to be a girl that they are trying to find out about or answers to a crime involving a female. 

The Villa of Mysteries is another in David Hewson books this time Nic has recovered from his injuries but has been partnered with a cop who has been busted down from the vice squad and doesn't seem to remember how ordinary street cops work.  Nic is having to re-educate him! Especialy about how the city of Rome works.

Review

Well here is a poetry book that has a poem for everyday of the year, chosen and put together by Gaby Morgan.  

There are so many famous and infamous authors in this book that who do I choose as being my favorites I just cannot decide but I will say it is great to have a poem for everyday. There are so many, but as I am typing this review on the last day of November I thought I would recommend the one for today written by James Reeve - 'Things to Remember'.

As the end of the war rolls on we meet three families, the Bennetts whose dad was found to be injured and also Clara O'Toole who has lost her dad, the third family will come in at a later point, that of the Bennett's inlaws.

Review

What a beautiful book, it took me back to when I read the Waterbabies.

This book written by Angela McAllister brings all that is wonderful and mysterious about the sea life.The wonders of the coral, the weeds and the animals that we meet within the pages of her book.  They are made so real and so believeable, we all know about the various fish and larger mammalts that swim in the sea, but this story opens up  whole new vistas of pictures and magic.

Wire in the Blood

Author
Genre
Review

This is a crime novel, but dealt with in a very different way, from the perspective of a psychological profiler.  The way that this story is put together is fantastic and how the mind of Val McDermid has worked to produce this book is really astonishing, especially the way she has been able to enter the very warped and criminally devient mind - which to me is very frightening.
