I very much enjoyed this novel which includes many elements that I will always enjoy: ruminations on lost films, the impermancy of life, the nature and relevance of art, the effect that the past has on the future but only if you choose that future. A ...more

I enjoyed this short story which contained enough threads for a novel yet was also just right in this format. There is a singular eerieness running through it, of something not quite connected, which greatly appealed.

I quite enjoyed this Maigret novel although the translation felt looser somehow, in an almost undefinable way, to the extent that on this occasion it could have been any detective solving the crime. Perhaps it was the odd nature of the plot which I f ...more

I quite enjoyed this short story although it's more of a collection of thoughts than a tale. Whilst it isn't much more than that, either, there is something hypnotic about it. It does demonstrate how single story chapbooks focus the reader, however, ...more

I enjoyed this unnerving short story which packs in quite a lot within a few brief pages, however I felt it could have ended before the final sentence which would have given it another star. This is Lockton's first published story. Looking forward to ...more

Maybe it's coincidence but whenever I go on my summer holiday I often end up reading 5 star books. Perhaps because I'm more choosey, or because I'm more likely to be indulgent, or I have more of my own time to put into a book. Whatever the reason, he ...more

I notice the Maigret novels are getting longer as I head towards the end of the series. This one isn't quite as tight as the others, it's a meandering tale which takes us back to the start towards the end, however I enjoyed the depth of characterisat ...more
