The Cyclist

The Cyclist- Tim Sullivan- Crime This is the second in the DS Cross books but happily stands alone. There has been a body found when demolishing some buildings, a body wrapped in plastic. It turns out to be that of a young man who was very keen on cycling and should have been going abroad for a race when a strange text was sent from his phone. It turns out his life was slightly more complex than first thought which leads the team through a few dead ends and the reader through twists and turns. A very interesting plot line, and one very cleverly thought out. For anyone not having come across George Cross before- he is a wonderful character with a tendency to intricate detail and not for social niceties. He is fortunate in having an understanding partner of DS Ottey who is doing her best not only with him to get another partner. The thing is although she finds him very trying, his success rate is second to none and how he goes about things she (and I) are fascinated with. He...

The Murder at Worlds End by Ross Montgomery

The Murder at Worlds End by Ross Montgomery - Crime Stephen Pike arrives at Tithe Hall to take up a new position which he desperately needs- he is destitute and has somewhat of a history. On arrival he finds no such position but fortuitously they need more staff, especially as they are shutting out the world for safety due to the passing of the comet. This is 1910 and the rich out power the scientists in what they believe and what they would have their household believe. However the woman who wrote the letter getting Stephen employment, Decima, has her own thoughts and plans. When there is a murder the night of the comet when everyone has been locked in their rooms, the two try to discover who the culprit is. This is my first foray into Mr Montgomery’s work and won't be the last- I loved it. It grabbed me from the outset. The characters are so well described that they come to life between the pages and the plot, a locked room (literally!) is a clever one and well thought ou...

Murder under the Sun by Faith Martin

Murder under the Sun by Faith Martin - Crime This is one in a series but happily stands alone (book #22 in the Hillary Greene series) Hillary works with a cold case unit. She is a retired DI but couldn't stay away and her clean up score was second to none so going back over old cases and finding new leads is natural to her. Fifteen years ago a woman, a former model, was found dead at her home by her daughter, then aged seventeen. It transpired she was having an affair but despite several leads at the time, the police couldn't pin the crime on anyone. Hilary's team is now tasked with solving the case. I adore this series. There’s always a stunning plot and the odd light-hearted moment. Puff the tragic wagon makes a few appearances which I smile at every time. Hillary is a very likeable, determined character who has the knack of seeing things in people others can’t. It's clever , twisty, intriguing and a wonderful ending. A brilliant read I more than thoroughly enjoy...
