E and now onto F !! Finally

So sorry its taken so long to update this blog and get through the latest book. I have been off work for over 5 weeks and to be honest did not have the heart to read this book  it was called Even the Dogs.
 
The man in Waterstones got this one so wrong, this book is definately not my sort of thing.
 
I would advise to watch paint dry instead of reading it
 
Drugs, drink, death, and post mortem, man found dead in squalor ....... mmmmm see what I mean !!
 
I would not read any more books by this author ...... Sorry
 
On to My book for F
 
Fire under the snow
 
A book bought by my best friend Megan Taylor the person who thought up this 26 book task
 
I'm already reading it and normal service has resumed
 
Love it so far. About a Tibetian Monk in Chinese Prison for 35 Years
 
So far I can say this book is very inspiring I'm sure I will finish this one and be enlighted and uplifted, somthing I need right now

On to Book E !!!

I Have now finished the book for letter D ~ Dissolution
It was a great novel with lots of red herrings twists and turns, intriguing and perfect detective work.

Set in Henry 8th time the description of the landscape and monastery surroundings puts you there. The way the clues are worked out is different every chapter. Lots of people suspected of the murders but every chapter you think you know "who did it" that person is scratched from the list then something else happens and you put the person back on the list.

Four murders and lots of suspects ....will not give it away but its not who you think it is .....there is a happy ending ....Enjoyed the style of writing and would say read it if you enjoy love mystery and intrigue and twist at the end. Would read other books with same medieval detective........a Miss Marple in hose and with codpiece LOL !!!

Next book will begin with the letter E......Even the Dogs by Jon Mcgregor.

I Have started this book its only 195 pages but have never read book like this

Its in chapters but hard reading all over the place. 

Has sections in each chapter telling you something to do with the murder.

Lots of swear words which I am unaccustomed to in books (lead a sheltered upbringing perhaps)...on nearly every page  and sometimes not needed....will give it a try but don't think will read any more from this author ....hope it gets better as I get into it ....
