Books

At Last by Edward st Aubyn, 2012. Great book, it's the final of a series about the same bunch of ghastly people from old money, he is such a good writer, sentences you want to read twice. And his main character Patrick, seems to have survived his dreadful childhood and addicted adulthood. There is hope for this survivor.


John le Carre, 2013, his latest book, a delicate truth is good. Thoughtful and believable and interesting. His final radio interview with Eleanor Wachtel is very good too.


Nick Harkaway Angelmaker, 2012. An entertaining tale, good but not great. Too long. Good car listening.


The Accidental Captives The Story of Seven Women Alone in Nazi Germany By Gossage, Carolyn. Very interesting story about a group of Canadian women stuck in Germany during 1941 -1942 after their boat was sunk en route to Africa.

The Chosen Dead By Hall, M. R. (Book - 2013), another great Jenny Cooper mystery. Like this author with his flawed coroner and interesting plots.
