My most recent two reviews at Euro Crime are of very different, but both complusively readable, books.
Sophie Hannah's new (and second) novel, Hurting Distance, is reviewed here. A psychological and tense thriller involving the search for a missing man, where nothing is what it seems but all is interconnected. (My review of Little Face, Hannah's first book, is here.)
And Dominique Manotti's first (ten-year-old) novel, Rough Trade, is reviewed here. It's a blistering police procedural, told diary style. I defy you not to love it. Manotti's second outing, Dead Horsemeat, is also reviewed on Euro Crime, by Karen Meek.
Other books recently reviewed on Euro Crime include The Chinaman by Friedrich Glauser, Days of Atonement by Michael Gregorio, Name to a Face by the prolific Robert Goddard; and last week, The Fugitive by Massimo Carlito, The Fourth Man by K O Dahl and The Exception by Christian Jungerson. As well as Karen and myself, the reviewers are Norman Price, Fiona Walker and Geoff Jones.
I love Sophie Hannah's work and posted about 'Hurting Distance' here http://patternings.typepad.com/patternings/2007/06/hurting-distanc.html
I understand that there is a third novel in the series due out in February 2008 and a fourth being written.
