The Whisper Man - Alex North





The Whisper Man, an invigorating read. The plot is so tightly wound, with each turn uncovering something new or an event tied to something else further on. So you need your wits about you. There is very little space in this book that doesn't have something going on in it. Even the school playground isn't safe.

The little gold circle on the front, is deserved. It isn't just there for decoration. The book really is as good as it states.

An easy 5  / 5

Status: Completed.

Knife - Jo Nesbo




The twelfth installment of the Harry Hole series. This is up there with the best of Hole's investigations. Being flipped upside down, the detective, becoming the suspect.

The death of one of the main character's in other stories. And Harry's wife of recent outings. Leads to a relapsing Hole being prime suspect.

OK enough of that.

This reads well, very well. I liked the blue edging on the pages. A nice little touch. The pages turned very easily. I know I go on about being drawn in. But, this has it. Easy to lose a couple of hours in.
