THREE BOOKS TO READ THIS MONTH

TELL NO LIES

Gregg Hurwitz

The story is set in San Francisco, the hero is a rich kid with a tough, wealthy mother; he gives up everything to marry his sweetheart and becomes a psychologist who works with ex-prisoners to rehabilitate them. Mother does not approve. It’s a murder mystery with twists and turns and flashbacks to his growing up with the overbearing, but smart, mother.

THE LATE SHOW

Michael Connelly

Former newspaper journalist, Michael Connelly was so good at writing police crime stories he landed the job with one of America’s biggest newspapers The Los Angeles Times. This is the first book with his new hero, Detective Renee Ballard. A free-spirited, persistent and – despite her odd moves – clever cop.

THE CUTTHROAT

Clive Cussler & Justin Scott

Our hero Isaac Bell ‘the tall detective’, the chief investigator for the Van Horn Agency, is back solving one of the biggest murder mysteries of all time. Set in 1910, Cussler’s story doesn’t lose a moment of excitement or suspense even with the lack of technology. It’s refreshing to read an ‘unplugged’ novel where there are no cell phones, internet etc. Expect lots of classic Cussler wit, action and confidence.
