Blood Relation by Andrew Taylor
Oh, I do like William Dougal. These books deserve to be better known, lots of fun. And this one features a breastfed nine-ish month old which was nice to read while breastfeeding my nine-ish month old too.
Purchased on 14th January 2005.
The Boys from Brazil by Ira Levin
Darren picked this one off his bookshelves for me; and he picked pretty well. I asked for something light and rather thought that it was going to get all too heavy when I got tangled up with Nazis hiding out in South America and planning the deaths of ninety four civil servants for no apparent reason. It's a really good read though and I'd recommend it myself now. Also, without giving the plot away, it's interesting to read it now as some of the things that are speculated about in the book have actually happened or become a lot more real in the thirtyish years since it was written.
Borrowed.
Hallowe’en Party by Agatha Christie
Bit of seasonal Poirot. Quite intriguing but a little long winded at times which is unusual for Christie. Interesting because you're never quite sure whose murder is really being investigated.
Borrowed.
A copy of this book is available on BookMooch.
