This Week's New Reviews

Here are this week's new reviews and details of this month's contests:

Latest Reviews:

Simon Beckett's Written in Bone continues to impress the Euro Crime team, this time it's Terry Halligan giving the praise with a teensy qualification; Maxine Clarke finds Paul Johnston's The Death List, a book of two halves, with the second half unfortunately scoring an own goal; I think the latest of Simon Kernick's Harlan Coben-esque thrillers, Severed, is undemanding entertainment; Geoff Jones prefers Henning Mankell's usual Wallander fare to his psychological thriller, Depths and Laura Root has a pleasant time in 1960s Lancashire with Chief Inspector Woodend and co in Sally Spencer's Sins of the Fathers (see below on how to win a copy).

Current Competitions (closing date 31 August):

Win one of five sets of three recent releases - GodSword by Emerson Cole, Sins of the Fathers by Sally Spencer and Fallen Idols by Neil White (open to everyone)
