Give these a try! Part II
Push Not the RiverPush Not the River by James Conroyd Martin
Buy used from: £8.13
Set during the Poland invasion by the Russian troops in 1790s , it´s a fast paced though superficial plot. I was expecting more from this one I must say. Nonetheless , it´s entertaining.
Kafka on the ShoreKafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami
Buy new: £5.57 / Used from: £1.50
I liked this one ( original and intriguing plot ) but at the end I felt that i lacks something to be great. Besides , I felt too much concern from the author with Kafka´s genitals hygiene. :-)
The Blue Rose (Lawrence Kingston Mystery)The Blue Rose (Lawrence Kingston Mystery) by Anthony Eglin
Buy used from: £0.01
A gardener´s wildest dream soon becomes his worst nightmare. Fairly amusing. It will appeal more to roses lovers .
The Mind GameThe Mind Game by Hector MacDonald
Buy used from: £0.01
Not that gripping but as a beach book is perfect.
Sleep, Pale SisterSleep, Pale Sister by Joanne Harris
Buy new: £5.97 / Used from: £0.01
One of Joanne Harris´s first novels and very different from the others ! A weird and no chocolate flavoured Victorian pastiche about revenge.
The Last ResortThe Last Resort by Carmen Posadas
Buy new: £7.19 / Used from: £0.01
A very entertaining and funny murder mistery set in a resort
The Mermaid's PurseThe Mermaid's Purse by Katy Gardner
Buy used from: £0.01
An ideal holiday light read though not very suspenseful I must say.
Hallucinating FoucaultHallucinating Foucault by Patricia Duncker
Buy used from: £0.47
Ms. Duncker knows how to use her words but I think that the relationship between the main characters should have been more developed.
A LikenessA Likeness by Sonia Overall
Although the plot wasn´t that original , I will keep an eye in Overall´s future works since I liked her writing style.
