    Nice set of reviews. I did not think so much of that Elizabeth George book, either. S. J. Bolton seems to be going from strength to strength, I must read some more of her books (have only read the first). The Sam Hayes book reviewed here sounds a lot better than the one I read! (I think it was called Tell Tale? Very melodramatic anyway.)

    I am so behind - still have Bolton's third book awaiting me on the TBR and now there's another...Want to read the Jungstedt too (glad to know I can start here with her series) and the McKinty sounds good as does the Hayes one although I DNF'd another one so not sure about that

    I only read one McK and though I could see it was good it was not my cup of tea so have not read more. it is very much of a certain genre that I don't read as I can't get "into" it.

    I appreciate these reviews, and have to look at my huge TBR list and figure out priorities.

    I looked at trailers for S.J. Bolton's two most recent books, and I'm already terrified, more of a scaredy cat than Foxy ever could be.

    Are these books as frightening as they appear to be? (Not my cup of tea)
