Summer is here and its time some more reading in the
sun. Here are links to nine more of my book review to give you some reading
ideas.
A Demon in My View by Ruth Rendell
In 1970s North London, in a rundown guest house, two
men accidentally share the same surname. This coincidence leads to dark secrets
being uncovered in Ruth Rendell’s classic crime novel.
Sorting Out Billy by Jo Brand
Women
friends rallying around together to support a friend in trouble is almost a
staple of so much Chic-Lit, but Jo Brand takes this premise and turns it into a
darkly comic novel.
The Impact of Inequality – How to make sick societies healthier
Is
our society still divided by class, is who you are born to still important or
are we divided into haves and have-nots, especially in health and social care?
84 Charing Cross Road & The Duchess of Bloomsbury Street by Helene Hanff
This
double volume of her books are the perfect gateway into the world of Helene Hanff’s
wonderful writing.
The Laying on of Hands by Alan Bennett
It is the memorial service of Clive Dunlop, masseur
to the great and good. But Clive has died, aged only 34, from a sudden illness,
and many of the mourners there are worried about what exactly he died from.
Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Santiago Nasar is to die. The whole town knows
this will happen and why, but no one steps forward to prevent it.
Dying to Be Men by Will Courtenay
“Women
have more illness but men die younger,” this simplistic old saying does
have a grain of truth in it. The book takes an in-depth look at the different
social and environmental factors in men’s lives and their effects on health.
From the Windrush to Wapping by Jeff Jones
Jeff
Jones has lived enough to fill six ordinary lives.
Miss Marple's Final Cases by Agatha Christie
Miss
Marple is probably the most famous female detective in English literature
Happy
reading
