Belgravia by Julian Fellowes

I read this January 2017 it was the February read for the Regency Book Club.
I had a feeling I wouldn't like this, as I was right I didn't.  Laboriuos, too descriptive and boring.
Too Twee for me !


The Disappearance of Adele Badeauby Graeme McCrae Burnet

I read this January 2017 as the Regency Book Club read
A strange tale of the disappearance of a waitress.  The book really s about Max the main protagonist. His strange sad, lonely life , his past, his work and his involvement in a murder years ago, and his non involvement in the disappearnce of the waitress...
This book is written as if it's translated form French, but it isn't. the Author builds up a 'story' around himself as well as the book...
Strange, but enjoyable

The Girl in The Spiders Web by David Lagercrantz

I read this January 2016

I have read the Millennium Trilogy : The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo etc and really enjoyed them,. This was written by DL as the original author had died after the trilogy. I enjoyed this every much, almost the same style, but sufficiently different.
Lisbeth Salander is back, fighting cyber crime.  All the old characters are there, and some new ones.
Very readable..
