Linwood Barclay Fear the Worst Book Review
Another good book. This one doesn’t stuck in my head as being a really great read but it moved along at a respectable pace and quite easily allowed the reader to slot into the role of Tim Blake the lead character. There were a few too many fantastic coincidences for my liking but they created a finely woven plot and an entertaining story.
Tim Blake’s daughter is supposed to be working at a local hotel but goes missing and has never been heard of by her supposed employers.
6.5/10 Not brilliant but good fun and worth a read.
Andy McNab Exit Wound Book Review
I’m always a bit wary of McNab’s books. I like him on the whole and love the genre but haven’t read some of his in the past which I wasn’t overly impressed by. This was good fun though. Special forces nutcase Nick Stone gets roped into a robbery which turns out not to be the smoothest of jobs. Adventure ensues with loads of guns and daring mentalness along the way.
Andy McNab writes some of the easiest to read and engrossing action novels around. Kind of like a good Hollywood action adventure – minimal thought required and very entertaining.
8/10 – nothing new but great fun.
Stephen Leather Nightfall Book Review
I suppose I should have had an idea this book involved the supernatural when I bought it. It does, after all, say ‘A Jack Nightingale Supernatural Thriller’ right there on the cover. And to be honest, if I had read the cover better, I propobably wouldn’t have decided to buy it. Supernatural ‘aint my thing. Or so I thought.
This was a great read. Lots of suspense and plenty of action to keep you on edge. I’ve left it far too long to write a review so the details are a little hazy but suffice to say I’ll be buying more of Stephen Leather’s work. Thoroughly enjoyable even though it includes devils and witchcraft and other nonsense!
7.5/10 – I docked a bit because of the sheer ridiculousness of it but a bloody good read!
