New Reviews, Website Updates and Contests reminder

Here are this week's new reviews, updates and competitions reminder:

Latest Reviews:

Maxine Clarke recommends that everyone read The Coroner's Lunch by Colin Cotterill, now available in the UK thanks to Quercus; Norman Price joins the Jo Nesbo fanclub with his review of The Devil's Star; I like a good whodunit where I can't guess the villain, which is mostly why I preferred Hakan Nesser's The Return to last year's Borkmann's Point; Sunnie Gill found The Library Paradox by Catherine Shaw a little slow to get going but an enjoyable read nonetheless and though Time to Pay by Lyndon Stacey wasn't quite Declan Burke's cup of tea he indicates who might like the book instead.
