BOOKS! BOOKS! BOOKS!

A mixed bag this month – Kate Mosse’s “Labyrinth” – a large tome but a great read.  A combination of 2 stories, one historical and the other a thriller set in modern France.  Thoroughly enjoyable, well plotted and written.

The next is another thriller – Nevil Shute’s “Lonely Road”.  Persevere through the first chapter – it’s worth it.

“Sorry, I’m British” – an A to Z, allotments to zebra crossings, an entertaining view of all that is British with some good cartoons

and finally, another of M.C. Beaton’s Hamish Macbeth series of murder mysteries “Death of a Scriptwriter”.

 

Grateful thanks extended to Margie for assistance in filleting the books and moving them from the back of the church to under the Ridlington display stands.
