book review

“Crossover” Cassadra Kresnov #1 by Joel Shepherd – Cyberpunkish thriller with strong female characters

“A Tale For The Time Being” by Ruth Ozeki – Startlingly original. Emotionally challenging.

“Trail of Dead” – Scarlett Bernard #2 by Melissa F. Olson – entertaining urban supernatural thriller

“Skin Game” – The Dresden Files #15 by Jim Butcher – maybe there’s hope for Harry Dresden yet

“Running Blind” Jack Reacher #4 by Lee Child – Clever, brutal plot. Reacher loses touch with reality

“The Last Policeman” by Ben H Winters – end of the world novel powered by a quiet desperation I can’t get out of my head

“Shakespeare’s Counsellor” by Charlaine Harris – a fine end to a good series

“Tripwire” Jack Reacher #3 by Lee Child – The humiliation scenes were too hard bitten for me

“Killing Floor” Jack Reacher #1 by Lee Child – Ingenious plot and calm but deadly hero”
