The Keepsake (2008)

I really enjoyed this book and found myself interested in topics I never knew I was interested in. It was a happy medium of not being too factual that it spoilt the 'story' of the characters. Tess has blended just the right amount of knowledge to keep the reader interested but not to overdo it so...

The Complete Gillian Flynn: Gone Girl, Dark Places, Sharp Objects (2014)

Luckily I read "Gone Girl" first, and I did like it very much. It was so fresh and mind-boggling. After reading "Sharp Objects" and then starting and refusing to continue "Dark Places," my opinion is that Flynn was ramping up to the quality of "Gone Girl." The characters in "Sharp Objects" we...

Nei luoghi oscuri (Piemme linea rossa) (2009)

A friend recommended this because I liked "Gone Girl." Once again, the author has taken characters who seem unlikable and yet has created a compelling enough story that you want to find out what happens. This one is more of a mystery than "Gone Girl" -- in "Dark Places," a horrific crime occurr...

Eerie (2000)

A quick story that I finished in one sitting. This read more like alien-fiction than the haunted-house story that I expected. I enjoyed the writing (note: I read this in the Ultimate Supernatural Box Set and the story may have undergone editing). The narrative was very quick and to the point in t...

Book

In ballingschap (2013)

Probably more like 3.5; I waffled a lot between giving it 3 and 4.Palliser used the diary format really well. There were none of the usual things that annoy me when authors try this - all dialog was in italics because it was Richard's memory of conversations, not actual conversations; there was ...

El Corazon De Hielo (2011)

Este libro lo encontré más o menos el año pasado, paseando por una librería en el Centro Histórico del D.F, me llamó la atención la portada y después de leer la sinopsis, quise comprarlo pero no lo hice. Fue más o menos un par de meses después que conseguí adquirirlo pero no lo empecé enseguida.C...

Murder and Mendelssohn (2013)

The Hon. Phryne Fisher, even after 20 novels, remains true to herself in this latest mystery in which she even joins a chorus to sing Mendelssohn’s Elijah, exhibiting yet another talent to her apparently unlimited repertoire. The reason she undertakes the task is because not one but two conducto...

Book

Greedy Bones (2009)

The previous book was my least favorite in the series, and this one is my favorite to this point! The plot was more complicated than the others and there was more drama and suspense. This is the first book in the series where I haven't known the majority of the "whodunit" before the resolution. I...

Die Vier Ecken Des Himmels Roman (2010)

It was "ok" because it could have been better. I liked the large cast of characters with their background stories; the mystery plot with non-stop action kept me going. I needed to read the ending.The main reason I did not like this long book: it inched along, and took three steps backward filling...

La ragazza dei cocktail (2013)

I had a very mixed reaction to this book. I liked Cain's big three very much. This one seems very different. Perhaps it's because he was still working on it when he died. I was intrigued with the story from page one but, the main character and narrator was immensely annoying. She seemed ver...

Rasputinův stín (2014)

I have read all of Khoury’s novels and they are usually right up there with the high-energy thrillers of David Baldacci, Steven Berry and James Rollins.This one, for me, however, took a very disappointing nose-dive.Fundamentally it is about a Russian scientist who developed a fool-proof device ut...
