Here are this week's new reviews and details of the new competition (which is open to all):
Latest Reviews:
Euro Crime's Camilleri expert, Norman Price, strikes again as he reviews the latest Montalbano novel - The Paper Moon - which he says is "another little gem";
Geoff Jones reviews the new title from Peter Conway, Deadly Obsession - the latest of his books to contain the theme of "incest and corporal punishment";
Maxine Clarke reviews the paperback edition of The Blood Spilt by Asa Larsson calling it a "rich story" with a slightly unsatisfying ending;
Maxine reviews a short but not sweet offering from Quercus in the shape of Andrea Maria Schenkel's The Murder Farm, a fictionalised version of the real-life murder of a whole family;
I review Nicola Upson's An Expert in Murder where Josephine Tey enters the real world of murder in London's West End
and Amanda Gillies calls Fallen Idols by Neil White "a masterpiece".
Current Competition (closing date 30 June):

New Reviews on Euro Crime
Here are this week's new reviews and a final reminder of January's competition:
Latest Reviews:
Norman Price, Euro Crime's Italian expert recommends Massimo Carlotto's Death's Dark Abyss - another one of his short books that packs a punch;
Geoff Jones reviews the latest by the prolific author Peter Conway - Deserving Death recommending it to "anyone who likes an uncomplicated detective novel";
Maxine Clarke reviews the first of Martin Edwards' excellent Lake District series - The Coffin Trail calling it "an absorbing read";
Maxine found Hakan Nesser's The Return less compelling than the previous title, Borkmann's Point
and I review the Costa Award winning What Was Lost by Catherine O'Flynn - the word 'haunting' has been accurately used to describe this book and it is one that will linger in the mind well after the final page has been turned. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Current Competition (closing date 31 January):
Win a copy of Bad Traffic by Simon Lewis (UK & Europe only)
(geographical restrictions are in brackets)
