I`ve just finished the splendid, enviable and rip roaring `Good As Dead` by our very own Guv and now I`m about to start `Tip Of The Iceberg` by our own Roger `Nubs` Newbury. Looking forward to it, hard act to follow, no pressure, Nubs!

I've started THE CUT by George Pelecanos.
With his new Greek-ish investigator.
GP gives you great urban tales.
But why so many transport tips for car drivers?

Random by Craig Robertson. I am only on the third chapter and am already convinced we have an excellent new contributor to Tartan Noir.
Finished The Ghost by Robert Harris last night. A highly entertaining, plausible novel.

I have read Random, by Craig Robertson, I really enjoyed it but I think I remember it having bad reviews. As I say I enjoyed it tho, I liked the journey the character went on!!
I am about to start Neil White series, got them all cheap!! Has anyone read them?

Headhunters by Jo Nesbo
Finished Craig Robertson's Random a little earlier. It started out full of promise, but Robertson's writing style feels as if the narrator is talking without pause for breath. Enjoyable all the same.

Recently finished The Twelve, by Stuart Neville, best debut I have ever read.
I completely agree! This book just kept me at it until I was done! Have his other 2 in line as well! |

You have to let it all go. Fear, doubt, and disbelief. Free your mind.

A Fifth of Bruen by Ken Bruen.
I must confess to not being a fan of short stories as they have a tendency to bait the hook of interest with me but then be too brief to follow through on my interest.
Bearing that in mind, I picked up this book mainly because Ken Bruen is a very good writer and I was hoping that he would do well.
The book is made up of a number of short stories and two short novels, apparently Bruen sold these stories in his early days at the local pub before he made a big name for himself internationally.
To be honest, the book turned out to be what I expected. The two short novels were sensational, very gripping and worthy of attention, the short stories on the other hand were too brief and unfulfilling for me.
The stories have a number of things in common - they feature men who drink hard and have serious personality issues. They are paragraphs in each short novel that make you sit back and think about what you just read and say Wow.
Taking into account my dislike of short stories, this book is a definite winner with me.
