Wild Fire

                            

Good Evening, I just finished Nelson Demille’s Wild Fire the other night. It is a good story post 9 /11 in the USA. It was a well worked out plot good characters it was 600 odd pages but it would have been better in my humble opinion if it had been a bit shorter. I felt there was far to much padding out of the book. The main character in the book John Corey has taken to joking far too mush he never used to be like this and I felt it was overdone a bit as it was a very serious story. It was one of those books when you were not sorry to see the end. I will not recommend this book and will only give it 6/10 Sorry Mr Demille.

    Till next time   Love     Joan.

Beneath the Bleeding.

                                 

Today I finished the latest Tony Hill /Carol Jordan by my favourite author at the moment Val McDermid. I feel it a sad as I will have to wait for quite some time before I get another so it's goodbye to Tony and Carol for the time being. It was a great story as all Val’s books are this one in particular was fabulous. There was not wasted words it just kept going all the way through. In the authors notes at the beginning of the book Miss McDermid tell of being in hospital having two knee surgeries and this she uses in the book to great effect. I think she must have had a hard time.

The good news is a stand alone novel comes out in next month call ‘A Darker Domain’ so will have to be on the look out for that. Can’t recommend this book enough or in fact any of her books they are all great reads if you like a good thriller.

Bought the latest Nelson De Mille today just to change authors for a bit as I have not read any of his for some time and he does write different stories this one sounds great but it is a big read so it may take me a bit longer. 10/10 for ‘Beneath the Bleeding‘. by Val McDermid.
