Ron Chudley – Act of Evil – A Hal Bannatyne Mystery
The right elements are present in this mystery but a tighter focus would have made a more effective and entertaining story.
Kate White – Hush
the initial enthusiasm for Hush waned. The book is readable, but could use some depth and tightening up
Leonie Swann – Three Bags Full – A Sheep Detective Story
Very enjoyable and original
Zoe Ferraris – City of Veils
Sometimes terrifyingly brutal; sometimes tender, and always interesting, City of Veils is the book to read.
Lisa Lutz – The Spellman Files
Very light on mystery decent beach fodder
Raymond C. Perkins Jr. – The Mystery of the Silver Statue
An engaging, enjoyable read directed towards a youth audience
