The Sergeant’s Cat and other Stories by Janwillem van de Wetering. Fiction 8/10
Books By bookworm on 10/31/2006 12:48 PM
The jacket blurbs on The Sergeant’s Cat and other Stories by Janwillem van de Wetering [ISBN 0 345 32873 6] say it all “Once you’re hooked, there is nothing quite like it” and my favourite “He is doing what Simenon might have done if Albert Camus has sublet his skull”. This is a surreal mixture of light crime fiction and wish fulfilment stories fuelled from his wide travel and life experience

E is for Evidence by Sue Grafton. Crime thriller 8/10
Books By bookworm on 10/30/2006 6:36 PM
Another one of my backlog of Sue Grafton’s Alphabet crime series featuring Kinsey Millhone, E is for Evidence [ISBN 0 330 44671-1] is as good as usual. This one has a quick start and a nicely paced narrative, with a lot of red-herring and clue-packed action interspersed.

The Weekenders: Travels in the Heart of Africa. Short fiction stories about Somalia. 5/10
Books By bookworm on 10/29/2006 7:27 PM
This book, The Weekenders [ISBN 0 9418 8180 –3] is a book containing a series of fiction short stories set in Africa, but mainly focussing on the various troubles in Sudan , written by a number of famous mixed-genre authors (Alex Garland, WF Deedes, Giles Foden, Victoria Glendinning etc). The stories come over as a mixture of political crime fiction and gritty travel writing, which is not always convincing and often boring

Q is for Quarry by Sue Grafton. Crime thriller 8/10
Books By bookworm on 10/28/2006 1:59 PM
Consistently good, Sue Grafton’s Q is for Quarry is one of the alphabet series of novels [ISBN 0 330 48833 3] featuring Private eye Kinsey Mulhone. The plot is typically convoluted and tight, with all kinds of twist and turns – but in this one suspense is elongated by having lots of action yet few findings in the first part of the book – what this does is to throw in the few clues and background information

Laura Lippman – The Last Place. Detective thriller 9/10
Books By bookworm on 10/27/2006 2:55 PM
The Last Place, the detective thriller by Laura Lippman [ISBN 0 75284 259 5] featuring her excellent PI Tess Monaghan is a really good read. The plot is quite tricky and keeps you guessing, the appropriacy of context and place giving a sense of a city community, and the romantic-novel feel to her relationships make this a high scoring book for me.

D is for Deadbeat by Sue Grafton. Crime thriller 8/10
Books By bookworm on 10/26/2006 3:08 PM
You, like me might have missed the early Sue Grafton books of this series but I’m now systematically reading through them and finding it a great pleasure. D is for Deadbeat [ISBN 13: 978-0-330-44671-6] featuring the PI Kinsey Mulhone has a great plot, superbly written and very fast-moving and addictive.

Faith by Peter James. Thriller 9/10
Books By bookworm on 10/25/2006 9:24 AM
Peter James’s novel Faith [ISBN 0 75283 711 7] is a book about obsession, and from the outset we know that there is going to be no good outcome from this – but we become drawn into the story. A terrific, believable, plot, and a narrative that cranks up chapter by chapter, interspersed with flashback accounts. The characterisations are excellent, and the portrait of obsessive love particularly well presented and drawn

Call after Midnight by Tess Gerritson. Spy thriller 7/10
Books By bookworm on 10/24/2006 9:18 AM
Tess Gerritson’s spy thriller Call After Midnight [ISBN 0 7783 007 9] is quite different from other books of hers that I’ve read which have focussed mainly on forensic issues, perhaps this early book was when she was finding her metier. It’s a spy story with a pretty good plot, and a pacy narrative with lots of suspense, and fairish characterisations

The Soldier’s Return by Melvyn Bragg. Literary Fiction 7/10
Books By bookworm on 10/23/2006 11:57 AM
Melvyn Bragg’s literary novel The Soldier’s Return [ISBN 0 340 75101 0] has a row of rather OTT jacket crits that I felt were a little more than this book deserved and could well have come from his friends in the media! Perhaps its because he is so well known, but one could not believe than an unknown would necessarily had this novel published. Is this unkind ?

Sunset Express by Robert Crais. Crime fiction 9/10
Books By bookworm on 10/22/2006 3:24 PM
I could have sworn that I’d read all Robert Crais’ novels, but I hadn’t read this one before. An early PI Elvis Cole novel, Sunset Express [ISBN 0 75282 753 7] has an excellent clear, strong plot with a readable and well-written narrative style that just pulls you along. Characterisations are very good too. Reminiscent of the toughy Robert B Parker though Crais has a style of his own, if you haven’t read this book, see if you can get it !

Union Jack by V.L. McDermid. Crime fiction 7/10
Books By bookworm on 10/21/2006 1:38 PM
Val McDermid’s quite early novel Union Jack[ISBN 0 00 775506 6] features her PI Lindsay Gordon. I’m ambivalent about this book – the context and plot – based on happenings at a union conference after merger of a print and journalists’ unions – come over as authentic and relevant – and its obvious that McDermid has been there and done that many times – she peoples the novel with the most bitchy and competitive folk (so like unions at the top we feel).

Alexander McCall Smith – Blue Shoes and Happiness. Light crime fiction 6/10
Books By bookworm on 10/18/2006 9:06 AM
Blues Shoes and Happiness [CN 145062] in the latest book in Alexander McCall Smith’s famous No1 Ladies Detective Agency Series, set in Botswana and featuring Mma Ramotswe. Much in the easy and sympathetic style of the others – its just like the latest chapter in this African story, dealing with a series of small issues that are the very stuff of life.

The Reluctant Investigator by Frank Lean. Detective fiction/serial murders 5/10
Books By bookworm on 10/15/2006 2:01 PM
Frank Lean’s crime fiction novel The Reluctant Investigator [ISBN 0 7493 2180 6] is the first book I’ve read of this writer, and I do welcome a new British author –especially one using the north as his canvas (not that Manchester is so very north in the scheme of things but action did cover quite a lot of northern territory). However, it is not a brilliant read: the plot is passable, and the context is good, and the narrative does keep the reader going forward with questions and queries, but

Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan. Science fiction 10/10
Books By bookworm on 10/12/2006 12:52 PM
Richard Morgan’s Altered Carbon [ISBN 0 57508 390 x) is the best science fiction book I have read in 20 years. For once I agree with every one of the jacket crits – an astonishing first novel – completely blown away – addictive and bone crunchingly in your face …etc (bone crunching ? perhaps not). The book is full of ideas and speculative science, the plot is brilliant, and the narrative starts off fast and then takes off. I found myself holding my breath for whole pages. This might be a first novel, but I will be reading whatever he writes. It’s a kind of amalgam of cyperpunk

Perfectly Pure and Good by Frances Fyfield. Crime fiction 8/10
Books By bookworm on 10/11/2006 11:06 AM
Frances Fyfield’s crime fiction novel, Perfectly Pure and Good [ISBN 0 7515 3431 5] is an excellently written book, about 12 years old now, but still a readable and together book. The plot is intricate and deceptively straightforward – several times we think we understand what is going on, only to find we don’t really – the narrative hooks the reader in as the initial catalyst sets of a chain of happenings.

My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Picoult. Literary Fiction 7/10
Books By bookworm on 10/10/2006 1:17 PM
Jodi Picoult’s novel My Sister’s Keeper [ISBN 0 340 83546 x] was a Ruchard and Judy choice, and you can see why. Typical Picoult the novel explores an emotional and moral dilemma. Sara and Brian had a third child created through genetic engineering of the embryo to be compatible with their second child, Kate who has genetically-based aggressive leukaemia and needed a compatible tissue match for bone marrow transplant

Sue Grafton – I is for Innocent. Murder mystery 7/10
Books By bookworm on 10/9/2006 1:14 PM
I is for Innocent is one of Sue Grafton’s famous alphabet series murder mystery novels featuring her private detective Kinsey Millhone. It has her usual excellent plot – with several clever twists before the end, and a really good scary climax. Grafton also manages to make her main characters interesting as well as likeable, and well rounded as well, without spending too much energy on building up the descriptive background to behaviours, but managing to deliver a great deal in choice of language and great dialogue

The Island by Victoria Hislop. Literary fiction 8/10
Books By bookworm on 10/7/2006 2:28 PM
Victoria Hislop’s novel The Island [ISBN 0 7553 0951 0] is a nicely readable story that rewards the reader with depths of emotional and historical information as well as a sensitive background to Crete at a moment in its history. The story engages the reader who becomes involved in finding out the mystery behind the central character’s family lives, and the shameful reason for the secrets

The Pure in Heart by Susan Hill. Murder mystery 5/10
Books By bookworm on 10/6/2006 1:18 PM
Susan Hill’s murder fiction [ISBN 978 0 099 46210 1] is a substantial book (though probably about 25% too long). It has a very loose plot which is without resolution, a quite fast-paced narrative – which leads the reader to expect more of the plot – and in-depth characterisations of a family with a strange set of interrelationships and personalities which make you less than concerned about hearing any more about their phobias and problems.

The Lighthouse by P.D. James. Murder mystery 8/10
Books By bookworm on 10/4/2006 11:43 AM
P.D. James’s The Lighthouse [ISBN 0 571 22918 2] is similar in style and feel to her other books – again a case for Adam Dalgliesh and his sidekicks. As most of P.D. James’s books, this has an intricate plot, with clues and red-herrings strung through it, it has a good descriptive feel and a steady narrative – not fast paced, but eked out dribble by dribble with lots of characterisation and typical police interviews giving little or no information.

Robert Ludlum’s The Moscow Vector. Post cold war spy/adventure story 8/10
Books By bookworm on 10/3/2006 1:18 PM
The Moscow Vector,[ISBN 0 7528 7689 9] is another of Robert Ludlum’s successful formula of boys own adventure comics meet Armageddon kind of story. Even though I really don’t like the genre, I must admit that he is a great story writer and can keep a reader pretty well stuck to the page EVEN when the plot is clearly OTT and much of the trappings of the story not necessarily believable even after an evening drink or two

The Oxford Murders by Guillermo Martinez Trans from Spanish/ Mystery murder 7/10
Books By bookworm on 10/2/2006 12:23 PM
Guillermo Martinez’s intellectual mathematical-puzzle serial murder mystery, The Oxford Murders, [ISBN 0 349 11723 3] apparently won a prize in the author’s native Argentina, and I can see why. The plot is well-structured and the narrative moves along quite quickly unravelling the mathematical puzzle, though it isn’t necessary to follow the mathematical logic to follow the plot, as the background is nicely woven in the story to give you the knowledge you need to understand the clues.

Sahara by Michael Palin. Travel book of TV programme 8/10
Books By bookworm on 10/1/2006 6:07 PM
Michael Palin’s travel book Sahara [ISBN 0 75381 739 X] is his diary of his trip filmed by the BBC across the Sahara in Africa. I did watch the programmes (though out of sequence on Sky) and I found both media – the book and film – to both be excellent but give a quite different ambience. The book even with its still photographs lacks the ability to present the grandiose scenery as argument or motivation for travel across Africa.

The Streetbird by Janwillem van de Wetering. Eurocrime 6/10
Books By bookworm on 9/29/2006 12:12 PM
Much as I like Janwillem van de Wetering, this book, The Streetbird [ISBN 1 56947 093 6] is not particularly satisfying. Though the ambience of Amsterdam and the psychological quirkiness is still in abundance, the plot and narrative of this particular novel are just hard work to plough through. Its been a day or two since I finished it, and already I’ve forgotten some key motives and action.

James Patterson – Cross. Serial murder/Crime fiction 6/10
Books By bookworm on 9/28/2006 2:05 PM
There’s been a lot of hype on TV ads about this new book of James Patterson – Cross [ISBN 0 7553 2315 – 7] which leads to great expectations which are not particularly realised. The Alex Cross novels have been going a long time, and the plots are looking tired round the edges, but this one is a back-in-time Alex Cross and is predictable (as it follows the formula of the previous novels) and not nearly as enjoyable or even scary as it could have been (possibly without the hype).

Killing the Shadows by Val McDermid. Serial murder/Crime thriller 10/10
Books By bookworm on 9/27/2006 2:23 PM
Val Mc Dermid’s Killing the Shadows [ISBN 0 00 776852 4] has been around a while (2000?) , but has been well worth a re-read . McDermid’s plots are always excellent, and she possesses such expertise in the narrative that you know you will be holding your breath during almost all the chapters wondering what on earth is going to happen next. I’m not over-fond of some of her characters – the males, especially in this book, do seem to be pretty passive, wimpy and truly supportive guys, which is good for role modelling, but not always authentic

The Memory Box by Margaret Forster Literary Fiction 5/10
Books By bookworm on 9/24/2006 11:45 AM
I found Margaret Forster’s book, the Memory Box [CN 9166] to have an interesting story idea (the Memory Box) strung out into a long book which so attenuates the spare ideas they become too thin to sustain real interest. It may have been much more interesting had the main characters been believable – sympathetic or complex enough to hook the reader into the seriously slow narrative.

Sam Bourne – The Righteous Men. Mystic Code breaking thriller 6/10
Books By bookworm on 9/23/2006 2:07 PM
The Righteous Men by Sam Bourne [ISBN 0 00 720330 –6] is one of the new genre of religious code-breaking end-of-the-world if it isn’t found out kind of mysteries, but this time is about a sinister serial murderer triggering on information in the Bible related to Jewish and Christian beliefs. It has a similar plot and pace to The Da Vinci Code, where the hero only becomes gradually aware of the mystery and uncovers parts of the story bit by bit as he travels and follows clues.

Empire State by Henry Porter. Spy thriller 9/10
Books By bookworm on 9/22/2006 2:24 PM
Henry Porter’s spy thriller Empire State [ISBN 0 75285 892 0] is an exciting, multi-faceted, well researched and authentic sounding novel with an excellent plot, and compulsive narrative that pulls you along. The book hits all the current buttons – al Qa’ida, internet espionage and hacking – but there are all kinds of bluffs and double bluffs and pages of red herrings – or are they? The reader is led by the nose backwards and forwards

The Constant Princess by Philippa Gregory. Historical Fiction 7/10
Books By bookworm on 9/21/2006 11:22 AM
Philippa Gregory’s historical fiction novel, The Constant Princess [ISBN 0 00 719031 X] is very much in the same style and period as her previous book The Other Boleyn Girl about Mary Boleyn, Anne’s sister – and this book is about Katherine of Aragon, and covers the same Tudor time period as the previous novel following the life of Henry VIII’s Spanish first wife.

Stephen Leather – Pay Off. Adventure thriller 7/10.
Books By bookworm on 9/20/2006 6:03 PM
Pay Off by Stephen Leather [ISBN 0 340 92216 8} is in this volume of two stories with The Tunnel Rats - but its no where near as good a read as the Tunnel Rats, though its still a good weekend read. The plot is based on a plan of revenge that doesn’t quite go as planned, and has some good twists which makes for quite scary suspense situations at times. Action moves quickly and Leather’s real narrative strength lies the way he can focus on moving the plot forward so that any incongruities (and there are a couple in this book) are barely noticed.

Melvyn Bragg – A Place in England . Literary Fiction 6/10
Books By bookworm on 9/18/2006 8:40 AM
A Place in England by Melvyn Bragg [ISBN 0 340 770092 9] is a relaxed, smoothly written account of a place (a village in Cumbria) at a certain time (before and during the second World War) seen through the life of an uneducated young man with ambition. There is little “plot” as such – it’s a lyrical story with few surprises though the characters are nicely drawn, I found it difficult to empathise but felt like an observer of the happenings,

Jack Higgins – Day of Judgment. Vintage adventure thriller 7/10
Books By bookworm on 9/17/2006 12:56 PM
Day of Judgment by Jack Higgins [ISBN 0 00 222148 9], and now quite vintage (1978) is a typically fluent macho adventure thriller set in post-war Berlin during the cold war period Kennedy was American President –and it does seem now a little dated if only to wonder at the anachronism of the stiff upper lip Major Vaughan the hero.

A is for Alibi by Sue Grafton. Crime fiction 8/10
Books By bookworm on 9/15/2006 1:10 PM
This, Sue Grafton’s first alphabet Kinsey Millhone thriller [ISBN 0 330 31582 x] is as skilfully written and plotted as the others. They are brilliantly conceived and entertaining and you know that you are in for a challenging detective read. Grafton manages not only to keep the action moving and engaging, but also clothes her characters in real feelings and the narrative and dialogue are cleverly used to focus and move the action

The Lady and the Unicorn by Tracy Chevalier. Historical Fiction 6/10
Books By bookworm on 9/14/2006 9:06 AM
Tracy Chevalier’s historical novel – The Lady and the Unicorn [ISBN 0 00 714091 6] is a nicely written story of the creation of a work of art – a tapestry. It has an authentic feel of place and activities, though perhaps not entirely of dialogue (though I don’t know how fifteenth century French is articulated in modern English – though I thought perhaps not entirely like this).

Ingrid Black – The Dark Eye. Crime fiction 9/10
Books By bookworm on 9/13/2006 3:02 PM
The Dark Eye by Ingrid Black [ISBN 0 7553 0704 5] is an original and complex mystery thriller with a chilling atmosphere and brilliant plot. The plot is absolutely full of twists and turns and you just think you know who must have done it when it turns out it couldn’t be. The narrative is well written and has enough detail to fully contextualise without burying the action. The characters are very nicely drawn and are well rounded enough not to make the reader trigger prejudices and cease to care what happens to them.

AKA Sheila Doyle by Pat Jordan. Crime fiction 8/10
Books By bookworm on 9/9/2006 3:24 PM
Pat Jordan’s AKA Sheila Doyle [ISBN 0 75285 603 0] is a titillating and crowded crime fiction story, which is never particularly convincing, and yet is easy and engaging reading. The plot centres on the fact that the meeting of the main characters acts as catalyst for major changes in both their lives, and the narrative speeds along with the renewed boost this has to their criminal activities

An English Murder by Cyril Hare. Vintage English Crime Fiction 7/10
Books By bookworm on 9/8/2006 3:15 PM
Cyril Hare’s vintage crime fiction book was published in 1951 in Greenback Penguin and is reminiscent of the vintage greenbacks, with rigid social class structure and a soft-focus picture of the parasitic upper class, with their view of superiority and importance. Many people nowadays look on the period portrayed in these books as some kind of ideal time in English society (as for Christie’s Poirot rather than the more mellow middle class Marple), whatever these views this book encapsulates most of these social contexts as background to the mystery

Barry N. Malzberg, The Men Inside. Vintage Science Fiction 2/10
Books By bookworm on 9/7/2006 1:26 PM
Barry N. Malzberg’s The Men Inside [ISBN 0 009 912820 9] may well be vintage in age (1973 I think) but it is not one of his best. It really is a one idea book, so the concept is interesting though the presentation of it is drawn out longer than any reader should be subjected to. You can see how Malzberg’s ideas have been used by others, and so this may well be an important book in terms of ideas, but I dunno.

Anthony Quogan, The Fine Art of Murder. Ageing Crime fiction 4/10
Books By bookworm on 9/6/2006 10:10 AM
The Fine Art of Murder by Anthony Quogan [ISBN 0 333 46324 2] belongs to a (hopefully) disappearing genre of lightweight plotting, flippant writing and seriously myopic amateur sleuthing, put forward for the Agatha Christie [FAILED] award. I did finish it but only because it was unchallenging reading with those thick library book pages and I didn’t want to get up for another book

The Surgeon by Tess Gerritson. Medical Thriller 8/10
Books By bookworm on 9/5/2006 1:13 PM
The Surgeon [ISBN 0 553 81706] was one of Tess Gerritson’s first thrillers and in my opinion, her best. Good plot and gripping action, this novel hooks you in at the outset and keeps you engaged right up until the hair raising ending. The narrative piles on the suspense as the serial killer hunts his next victim without the police having any real clue as to how this is being achieved.

Death from the Woods by Brigitte Aubert. Prizewinning Mystery/Thriller fiction 9/10
Books By bookworm on 9/2/2006 11:50 AM
Brigitte Aubert’s Death from the Woods [ISBN 0000000 188142] is translated from the French where it won a major prize. It’s a terrific, scary thriller, that keeps you guessing right up to the end. The plot has a very unusual slant, and it is so well planned that each layer keeps you interested and yet reveals only flashes of the full jigsaw. The story is told first person by a quadriplegic, who can only hear and speculate as to what is going on around her.

Judgment Calls by Alafair Burke. Crime/courtroom fiction 7/10
Books By bookworm on 9/1/2006 12:29 PM
Judgment Calls was Alafair Burke’s first book [ISBN 0 75285 935 8] daughter of James Lee Burke her work is nowhere near as good as his (yet that is). The plot is adequate though the narrative wavers in parts – stuff keeps popping out from nowhere and sometimes appears like an afterthought. Also some of the courtroom procedure, though obviously entirely authentic, is more than I wished to know when wanting the book to move a little quicker. Having said that, she present good characterisation, and overall has written a good first novel well worth a weekend’s reading.

The Tunnel Rats by Stephen Leather. Thriller 9/10
Books By bookworm on 8/31/2006 10:28 AM
Stephen Leather’s The Tunnel Rats [ISBN 0 340 92216 8] is one of the Jack Higgins/Frederick Forsyth genre of thriller writing that I usually avoid like the plague – and yet The Tunnel Rats was a really great, absorbing Bank Holiday read. The plot is just ingenious, intriguingly unravelled bit by bit as the narrative tension mounts – the suspense in truly exciting, and when you think you know what is happening, the ante is racked up again.

Where or When by Anita Shreve. Romantic/Literary Fiction 6/10
Books By bookworm on 8/30/2006 9:39 AM
Anita Shreve’s novel Where or When [ISBN 0 316 906409] is based on a Romeo and Juliet theme, but where Romeo and Juliet part, grow up and then meet again. The story is simple, and the work is in the characterisation and narrative, which is quite powerful – however, though the book works through some universally significant themes to do with the issue breaking a marriage with children for new loves, what is going to happen is never really in doubt to the reader, and is pretty downbeat (which some people love, though I try to avoid).

The Death Card by Walter Satterthwaite. Murder mystery 6/10
Books By bookworm on 8/28/2006 1:58 PM
Walter Satterthwaite’s The Death Card [ISBN 0 00 232497 0] is a light murder mystery with “laconic wit” set nicely in Santa Fe – so the context is interesting even when the book labours. The plot is quite slight but the narrative is quickly moving and when the detective’s endless questioning of the suspects gets tedious there is another happening to throw more spanners into the plot and give him even more work to

The Light of Day by Graham Swift. Booker prize winner 6/10
Books By bookworm on 8/27/2006 10:56 AM
Graham Swift’s The Light of Day [ISBN 0 141 01201 3] has the OTT cover crits of a Booker Prize winner “powerful and gripping exploration of ……..integrity and self discovery” “sensational and romantic” “the poetry and the tragedy lurking in ordinary life” etc etc so I was very disappointed in it. The story covers a day in the life of George who is in love with Sarah, and is kept apart from her due to a major crises that happened a year ago.

The Perfect Husband by Lisa Gardner. Crime fiction 8/10
Books By bookworm on 8/26/2006 10:27 AM
I’m ambivalent about Lisa Gardner’s The Perfect Husband [ISBN 0 75281 430 3] – it has an excellent plot, and the narrative is fast and scary and I must admit I was gripped from beginning to end. However, this is from the stable of the Tami Hoag school of writing, that is gratuitous scenes of high octane titillation between flawed little women who need protection plus large mute strong men with problems - style (funnily enough there is a quote from Tami Hoag on the book cover).

Malice Aforethought by Francis Iles. Vintage English crime fiction 6/10
Books By bookworm on 8/25/2006 3:17 PM
Francis Iles crime fiction novel Malice Aforethought [ISBN0 75286 478 5] was first published in 1931 and is a book of its time. With the genteel middle class context of Agatha Christie, but without the detective, Malice Aforethought is a nicely woven murder story, where the reader knows the murderer and who he wants to murder from the first page, and then the narrative details the background motivation, characters (and how it was that there weren’t more murders of folks like these appallingly patronising parasites I really don’t know ) and building bricks of acti
