Robert Goddard is a natural storyteller, and This is the Night They Come For You is yet another riveting read. The last book The Fine Art of Invisible Detection was superb (and also reviewed in RdrStr)! This is the Night They Come for You is a completely different, and another classic Goddard novel.

These are the books that I have thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend to you.
The Law of Innocence (by Michael Connelly)
Who writes the best legal thrillers? John Grisham, Scott Turow, Lee Harper or Michael Connelly? John Grisham has written some classic novels but he is not consistent – especially of late. Opinions will be divided and other authors will be thrown into the mix for sure. Michael Connelly may be more famous for his Bosch…
The Midnight Library (by Matt Haig)
The Midnight Library is a celebration of the imagination. Guaranteed to lift any thoughts of depression! A novel full of inspiration, warmth, philosophy and even quantum mechanics. Its breadth is amazing, awe-inspiring, and magical A story to reread when you are depressed or need a new direction. Yes, can you guess I liked it enormously?…
The Man Who Died Twice (by Richard Osman)
Introduction to Richard Osman’s new book “The Man Who Died Twice” Have you ever wondered what Richard Osman is doing with his computer on Pointless? Well, he is obviously writing novels! His second “The Man Who Died Twice” is a cracker. In fact, I would go to say it is better than the first (The…
Black Buck (by Mateo Askaripour)
This is a stunning debut novel from Mateo Askaripour. He has an original voice and style full of racial angst. Not only are the racial observations very pertinent but his own journey is challenging. The final outcome is unexpected. The whole story is well written with many wry observations and witty episodes: a book for modern times.
The Shadow Box (by Luanne Rice)
Oh dear families! The strife seems to be exaggerated in rich families abetted by the quest for power. This novel set in Connecticut is full of twists and turns and the tension increases as the story develop. Will Claire survive the chase or will the investigator come to the rescue in time?
You Let Me In (by Lucy Clarke)
A stylish gripping read with the inevitable twist at the end which I did not see coming. Clever plot, revealing flashbacks and suspect friends and neighbours. Just who is looking for revenge?
Behind Closed Doors (by B A Paris)
Great start to the New Year: discovering a new author – in this case, B A Paris – and available free on Prime Reading too. For those new to B A Parris, she is the internationally bestselling author of Behind Closed Doors, The Breakdown, Bring Me Back and The Dilemma. Sidebar: more about free books…
The Fine Art of Invisible Detection (by Robert Goddard)
It is very satisfying to rediscover an author. It is like greeting an old friend. I have read many of Goddard’s early books and thoroughly enjoyed reading them so I looked forward to the latest story. Has he matured like a good wine? Certainly, he has moved with the times and one of his themes…
TALL TALES and wee stories (by Billy Connolly)
Billy Connolly has been entertaining us for over 50 years with his unique brand of humour. His irreverent humour has often offended the virtuous but to most, he has been a f****** marvellous entertainer! As well as his standup comedy shows, he has beguiled us with his TV travelogues. Now he has turned his hand…
