Rleased at a lunch at Black Friars in Oxford

I'm going through a bit of a mystery / crime phase just now & I've never read Robert Goddard so I picked this up at this afternoon's Oxford BX meet-up.

30.3.05 - Reserved for CaffCaff

This is the first time I've picked up a Robert Goddard book, and I have to admit that at first it didn't grab me. However, I ended up desperate to find out what had really happened! The plot had so many twists and turns that I gave up guessing pretty early on. Every time I thought it had to be coming to an end, it was off again!!

I don't think he'll become one of my favourite authors, but I've put another Robert Goddard on my TBR pile now, and I'll be returning to him at some point.

This will be off to CaffCaff as it's on her wishlist, but I've another book reserved for her too so I'll hang onto it until I'm ready to put them both in the post together.

RELEASE NOTES:

Passing onto CaffCaff at this evening's BOSH meet-up

One from my wish list!!!! Thank you Kleptokitty :o)

RELEASE NOTES:

This book is going with me to the Reading meet tonight.... I'm usually a Goddard fan, but this didnt really interest me.... Overkill perhaps? Probably :o(

Picked up at the bosh bash.

A very complicated thriller that was perhaps a little too long. still an entertaining read, though.

RELEASE NOTES:

Being taken to the meet-up this lunchtime.

Picked up at the Fleet meet at lunchtime to be wild released on Tuesday somewhere around Basingstoke.

RELEASE NOTES:

Taken to the meet and I think it was wild released somewhere around the food court/ car park area by another bookcrosser...
