Terry Halligan reviews Live Fire by Stephen Leather and thinks it's his best yet;

Amanda Gillies reviews the paperback edition of The Lost Prophecies by The Medieval Murderers;

Norman Price reviews The Collaborator by Gerald Seymour - which tells what happens when you go against the Camorra;

Michelle Peckham reviews the latest in one of my favourite series: Dead in the Water by Aline Templeton;

and Maxine Clarke reviews Dutch author, Esther Verhoef's English translation debut - Close-Up concluding with "if you like your crime fiction suspenseful, erotically romantic, tense and pacy, this is definitely a book for you".

Norman Price reviews honorary European, Donna Leon's The Girl of His Dreams and finds it a return to form;

Terry Halligan reviews the latest from The Medieval Murderers (who have expanded to include C J Sansom) - The Lost Prophecies - finding it the best of the three he's read so far;

I review the first in the Van Veeteren series by Hakan Nesser - The Mind's Eye - which is a fun, quick and slightly bizarre read

and Geoff Jones reviews The Amnesiac by Sam Taylor which he finds lacking in the crime department.
