Last Reviews of July

Here are this week's new reviews and a final reminder of July's contests:

Latest Reviews:

In Mike Ripley's July round-up, he reviews 'Still Waters' by Nigel McCrery, 'Little Moscow' by Mick Scully, 'Not in the Flesh' by Ruth Rendell and 'Lost Light' by Alex Scarrow; Laura Root's debut review for Euro Crime is of Written in Bone by Simon Beckett which she calls entertaining and insightful; Fiona Walker provides a thoughtful analysis of Ake Edwardson's style in her review of Frozen Tracks; Maxine Clarke enjoys Kate Ellis' The Bone Garden where the 'historical mystery casts light on the motive for present-day Devon murders' and I review a novel which is interesting and evocative but borderline crime fiction - Troubling Love by Elena Ferrante

I've also updated the "News" page, except for this weekend's reviews and I've again refreshed the "New releases" page.
