This Golden Flame - Emily Victoria

 Days of future past.

An age of technology, that we are yet to see, entwined with wooden ships and pirates. A language that controls almost everything, commands held in runes. Controlling the masses, through a mere bracelet which ties them to wherever they are.

I would like to say that had managed to get from cover to cover. However, I got just over half way through it, which took me as long as it did to read my two previous books combined.

It's not like its a bad story, it isn't. The storyline wasn't bad. With well formed characters. Reading it really should have been so much easier. I just lost the will to carry on to its conclusion.

Serpentie - Johnathan Kellerman

Well it must be a good 15 years since my last encounter with the dynamic duo of Delaware and Sturgis.

A woman in her early 40's, looking for answers to questions that reside in a cold case file. Her mother, dead? What happened around the time of her disappearance?

A head on charge through the decadence of the late 70's and early 80's being investigated in the here and now.

I went into this thinking thatit was going to be a let down and disappointment.

How wrong was I?

The Shadow Man - Helen Fields

 Engrossing.

Murder, diseases (that I had never even heard of), kidnap and a UK US collaboration.

Fast paced, thoroughly planned and more than a little unnerving. You really should try closing the curtains once in a while.

You've got to read this, if nothing else for quite some time.

Helen Fields is fast becoming one of those authors where I'd buy on name over anything else.
