Good Afternoon, I always seem to update this journal on a Saturday afternoon maybe because Stu usually watches the sport and I am at a loose end for a couple of hours. This weeks book was ‘The Mermaids Singing’ by my favourite author (Thanks to Jan for pointing me in this direction) Val McDermid. This book is the first of the Tony Hill stories which lead to the TV series ‘Wire in the Blood’ which is very successful and I enjoy it too. This book told a very gruesome story and had me cringing at times it was so graphic. With this being the first book of the series it tell you a lot about Tony Hill that you do not get from the TV programs and for that alone is well worth reading. I found it difficult to put down and read it in just a few days which is the best way to read something like this. I would recommend this book to all thriller lovers but you do need a bit of a strong stomach for it. This deserves a 9/10
Till next time Love Joan. Happy reading.
