Series: Thomas de Quincey Mystery #3 I jumped into this concluding novel without having read any of the earlier ones and although I didn't struggle much figuring out who was who and the characters' relationships between one another, I didn't particularly care about any of them. On the plus side, t...
I love these collections. Some days it’s so hard to find time to block out the rest of the world & disappear into a great book. With these shorties, you can spend 20 minutes in your favourite hiding spot & enjoy a complete story from some of the best known thriller writers. Each is a collaboration...
I read this as part of a group read for the Action/Adventure Aficionados group on Goodreads. I'm glad this won the poll because it was a reason to read it sooner rather than later. This book really shows the world of espionage and assassins in a way that feels realistic. I could be wrong, because I'...
Ace - will write a proper review soon but great stuff, very interesting to see the Chief as more of a human being and also more of Rambo's motivations too.

Initially, I had quite a bit of trouble getting past the first few chapters of the book, the parts that described a mass murder in gruesome and bloody detail. However, I knew from the synopsis that the fictional occurrence was patterned after a historical case in London, which took place in 1811 (al...
Wow, this was a great story! I really liked the surprise twist at the end. I wasn't expecting that. Morrell really introduces alot of issues in his story from women's freedom of movement, racial prejudice against Irish, difficulties of the poor, Britain's struggle with war, contamination of clothes ...
I actually read this some time ago. I remember thinking that I liked the ending. I never guessed who real person was that actually committed the murders. I checked the book out again to refresh my memory before I read the next one.
