Fast-paced, easy, oozing racial slurs, sexism, and violence, but with plenty of funny moments.
Not high literature, but ideal for a poolside (or long flight) read.

Book two in Cari Hunter’s books about DI Jo Shaw finished. As usual a great read by Hunter. Looking forward to a new installment in the series, the epilogue is quite clear there will be one. Evil cliffhanger 😅

Though the story does not make much sense, it is fast-paced and entertaining, with a few unusual characters and original ideas (and also too many racial stereotypes).

In my new interview with author Makana Yamamoto, they explain how their new novel "Hammajang Luck" pulls off the neat trick of being a noir sci-fi crime story / cyberpunk lesbian space heist novel.

W.R. Burnett's 1949 noir novel The Asphalt Jungle. The story of a heist but mostly the story of the men carrying out the heist. The psychological complexity and the sense of yearning for a largely imaginary past makes it a great crime novel.

Graham Greene’s novella The Third Man was written purely to use as the basis for his screenplay and was not intended for publication. He was later persuaded to publish it. He felt (correctly) that the film was better but the book is quite good.

Peter Marsh’s The Devil’s Daughter, published 1942. Unconventional noir with a femme fatale who doesn't fit the usual mould. A story of love and lust, of hate, of revenge and of suspicion and betrayal. Great stuff.

Yesterday was the release day of Catherine Ryan Howard's new crime thriller THE TRAP.

She is a local author from Cork and like clockwork every year at this time she has a new book out.

I read this in one single setting which these days is highly unusual for me. I always enjoy her novels but this could quite possibly be my favourite of hers.

It has such a clever structure that it would be unfair to say more though. (Also running out of space.)

Castle Skull is an early John Dickson Carr mystery with lots of gothic fiction overtones. Fast-paced and nicely plotted with a wonderful setting - a castle in the form of a human skull. Lots of fun.

August Derleth's Solar Pons stories are among the very few Sherlock Holmes pastiches actually worth reading. Well-crafted and very entertaining and they feel Sherlockian. Derleth doesn’t make the mistake of trying for a tongue-in-cheek flavour.

The Green Ribbon is a 1929 Edgar Wallace thriller involving an ingenious horse-racing racket with a large and varied collection of villains. And an elaborate system of caves and tunnel, a classic Wallace touch. Top-tier Wallace. Great stuff.
