I very rarely review books that I give three stars, but I believe this hard-boiled spy thriller deserves a mention. I wanted to read The Fist of God, because I’ve heard a lot about Forsyth as a classic of the espionage genre. Plus, the book is set be ...more

I wanted to read and review this book, because I love sci-fi, and Andrew Hall’s debut sounded a bit different to every sci-fi story I’ve read. It turned out it is very different indeed. Don’t expect a grand space opera in the style of Dune, the comple ...more

Valeriya Salt and 2 other people liked KDS's review of Green Laughing: "Well, that wasn’t quite what I expected, but it was certainly enjoyable. The blurb gives the feel of a disaster SF story and whilst it does initially play out that way, anyone expecting The Martian or similar problem solving sci-fi will need to check" Read more of this review »

3,5* stars Blood on the Tongue is the third book in the series, set in Edendale, a tiny town in rural Derbyshire. Although I didn’t read the first two books, the novel reads well as a standalone. I was excited to read it as I live on the border with D ...more

Valeriya Salt and 16 other people liked Brenda's review of Blood On The Tongue (Ben Cooper & Diane Fry, #3): "A major player in this book is the setting. The moors, a mountain, narrow roads, cobblestones, cottages, quaint shops give a cozy feel, but the cold, snowy landscape, slushy sidewalks, hills too steep and icy to drive up, homes too drafty and cold to" Read more of this review »
