A Death in Sweden by Kevin Wignall

I read this winter 2018.
Great book Well written.  Nordic noire, James Bond style , spies intrigue , gun fights love interest.  This book has it all

Fat Chance by Nick Spalding

I read this January 2019.  I somehow managed to find it on Kindle. This is about contestants in a weight loss competition being run by a local Radio station.
It follows the diaries of an overweight couple. A simple construction with makes for  an enjoyable idea.  The only things I would say was that £50,000 is an extraordinary amount for a local radio to out up as a prize and that they wouldn't just leave the contestants to 'get on with it' and try to loose weight on their own.  Still a good bedtime read.


Skin Privildge by Karin Slaughter

I read this winter 2018.
Another 'Bones' book.

The Business by Iain Banks

I read this winter 2018.
Another Iain Banks! This one revolves round Kate Telman, whose job is to keep abreast of Technological developments. The company's interests spread as far as the Himalayas. Kate has many challenges along the way.  An interesting read.

Canal Dreams by Iain Banks

I read this Winter 2018.  I enjoy reading Iain Banks.
This book is about Hisako Onoda a world famous cellist, who refuses to fly hence she is traveling aboard ship to Europe via the Panama Canal 'by the end of her journey she has ignited one soldier with an oxy-acetylene torch, stabbed another with the spike of her cello, clobbered a guard with the butt of a rifle and raked terrorists with machine-gun fire ' all in all quiet a lot for such a small book....

Saint David Patron Saint of Wales by Rhiannon Ifans

I read this winter 2018.  I picked it up in a charity shop, it's a children's book about St David. As we live in Pembrokeshire now, I thought it was appropriate. An interesting little book that I'm sure our visitors will enjoy reading.
