Carolyn | 9840 comments After really enjoying the first book in Simon McCleave's Snowdonia crime series I was disappointed with the second book The Harlech Beach Killings (DI Ruth Hunter #2) by Simon McCleave The Harlech Beach Killings.
I'm hoping that book #3 will be better!

Carolyn | 9840 comments Eight Detectives by Alex Pavesi Eight Detectives by Alex Pavesi was an unusual read in that I didn't totally enjoy or appreciate the cleverness of the book until I got to the end.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9975 comments The Liar's Dictionary by British author, Eley Williams is my second "dictionary" novel this year, and while it was an enjoyable read, it didn't reach the heights of The Dictionary of Lost Words, coincidentally by another Williams, Pip Williams.
