DI John Rebus Featured in: Ian Rankin’s series taking place in and around Edinburgh. What I love about him: his quirky style, his taste in music, his reckless behaviour. His name! His accent 🙂 What I hate about him: his attitude to his ex-wife, Rhona, although he loves her, his stubbornness. DI Harry Hole Featured in:…
I saw a very moving film last night An aged, retired Sherlock Holmes looks back on his life, and grapples with an unsolved case involving a beautiful woman. It made me bring out my favorite Detective Holmes books and it reminded me that Sherlock was not that cynical cold hearted robot the TV series depicted….

I’ve read 3 Lars Kepler novels and I have to say The Fire Witness is by far my favorite! Take it on a plane with you and you will not lift your head once (OK maybe for refreshments)! Take it on the beach and I guarantee you will be Brown Sugar Babe by afternoon (remember…
A book I loved this weekend full of news, referendum updates and politics. Silent Voices by Ann Cleeves.
