Looking for something to read? Want to find a book to give as a present? Here are my latest assortment of recommended reads. Some from the library, some read on my Kindle, others advance copies I’ve had from publishers (thank you). Most are recently published, a couple older and one is still to hit the shops. They include disturbing psychological thrillers, classic science fiction, brutal Manc noir and a breathtaking collage of family history. They all tell a great story which kept me hooked, turning the pages. And all the writers have a skill, an assurance with their prose which makes the read seamless. Enjoy.
