Crow Lake

by Mary Lawson

 

 

In this compelling novel the narrator ‘Kate’ recounts the tragedy in her childhood which affects her character as an adult.

This is a poignant and clear portrayal of family bonds and living up to others expectations and ultimately the importance of forgiveness.

 

In my opinion this is a wonderful novel, the style and prose draw the reader in to the unfolding drama of one family and the repercussions of there actions in the face of adversity.

 

The Loner

by Quentin Jardine

 

 

Quentin Jardine’s new novel, The Loner is a book that surprised me, I must admit.  It is somewhat unlike his other novels and only mentions Bob Skinner as  a minor character, but it was just as impossible to put down.  

 

Xavi Aisaldo’s is detailed throughout the novel and it is just as interesting as you would expect.  The small hints throughout the novel keep your attention and even though the first half is more detail than actual crime, I was hooked.  

 

I would most definitely recommend this book to any crime or perhaps fiction fans as well. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
