Book Review – Page 17 – Scuffed Granny

The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway

My first encounter with Hemingway and surprisingly, a forgettable and, dare I say it, regrettable one: did not meet expectations

An interesting novel philosophically speaking which is thought-provoking but, at times, challenging to read

A thriller based around the disappearance of a baby from her home while her parents are partying next door – tense and twisty

Nemesis is the perfect holiday read for the thriller lover – action-filled, fast-paced and written with clear direction and awareness.

A couple craft a life for themselves in the wilds of Alaska but long for a child – and then miraculously, one appears. But who is she?

A novel centred around a family coming to terms with a diagnosis of ALS and what this will mean for them all, not just the person suffering

An underground thriller where society has been formed in a silo but for what purpose? Is it just about survival from the toxic upper world?

Hiking Haiku – no mystery here; a simple book of beautifully presented poems about the joys of being outdoors and hiking

Follow Eli Marks – magician, problem solver and amateur detective – in this lively book of well plotted and written short murder stories

A great thriller full of human darkness, lightened by chemistry between Robin and Cormoran
