Just after reading this book for the second time and I have to say I still found it a very enjoyable read.I like the mix of authors, especially the local ( to me ) ones.Cathy Cole's story, A killer Week was very reminiscent of Colin Bateman's style,with local references and a chilling imminence as well.The way the story unfolds leaves you urgently wanting to turn to the next page to see how the story plays out.
All in all a thrilling story in a thrilling book.  

 

Sharp, scary, dark, intriguing, captivating, amazing, just how you expect a crime story to be, and yet, unexpected, mind blowing, takes your breath away.  

 

Crime after Crime is a collection of crime stories. If it’s murder you want, this book will deliver it. No doubt about it.

It was a compilation of various authors and stories, some written by United States writers and some by United Kingdom writers. I state this because one of the stories I thoroughly enjoyed used a word that I had to look up. The story was entitled The Courgette House. I said to myself after reading a little bit, What’s a Courgette? Only to find out a courgette is a zucchini. It definitely sounds better with the English word than with the American word.

The scariest story for me was The Rat Trap because it dealt with all kinds of murders ramping up from one to the other and it was so intense I had to know what was going to happen and it kept me engaged up to the end but at the same time I felt a little uncomfortable reading it.

My favorite story was Foxtrot which took place in a senior center and one of the senior citizens planned the murder of another senior with good reason. The reason it called Foxtrot was the seniors went there to dance.

The variety of stories from these talented authors, one of whom had won creative writing competitions and others who had degrees in writing are worth your time to give it a go. They are short and can be read before bedtime, or on a lunch break, or even at tea time. I enjoyed them immensely.

Really enjoyed reading these short stories and looking forward to the possibility of some more from these talented New authors

A Gallery for Nick

 

 

 

Nick is dying. Barney spends much of his time keeping him company, helping him to lead an almost normal life and sharing his carefully guarded secret. The two boys often go down to the old harbour, to look at the boats and take photographs.

Barney finds it hard watching his friend getting weaker and weaker. And then there are the other problems. He worries about his relationship with his first real girlfriend. He worries about his schoolwork.. He is under pressure to perform well as a county swimming champion. And he needs a part time job.

Everything seems to be working out - just - when what he has most been dreading happens. All the other things which could also go wrong do so spectacularly. Then there is a strange shaped room, some ham and mustard sandwiches and a few conversations with a wise old sailor

Quote from The Review of Disability Studies:

"This is an excellent book to explore feelings about death and disability. James does a good job in exploring the feelings of someone whose friend is deteriorating quickly. I would especially recommend this book for high school students."

Fibbin' Archie

 

 

 

 

Love and romance can be tough for a compulsive fibber
Archie has quite a reputation as a practised fibber. Normally his lies are harmless but as time goes by they begin to get him into more and more trouble. They lose him his girlfriend, and bizarrely, his hearing as his ears begin to react in a very strange way every time he is less than truthful. Giving honest opinions isn’t enough. Deep truth is called for. But finding that isn’t easy. Some truths are very hard to face. Then numbers become interesting, too.
Fibbin’ Archie, is, however, more than the story of a disenchanted young man. It is also a writing experiment based on a fascinating number series (Fibonacci!) It is a piece of experimental writing, a humorous story of love and sex, an examination of social issues affecting young adults and a story of coming of age.

Archie seems to have a reputation as a compulsive liar and yet he didn't lie about everything. In fact, most of the characters told fibs.
However, this was a great story with lots of unsavoury characters in a small community. The plot is full of twists and turns. The pace worked well - whether that was due to the skill of the writer or Fibonacci, I can't say.
