| 1. |  | The Private Patient (Adam Dalgliesh Mystery) from Faber and Faber Price: £8.49 Customer Review:  There couldn't be a more atmospheric read for when you're safely and warmly curled up on the sofa! The novel maybe full of gruesome murders, windy Dorset December nights, strange characters assembled in a private nursing home - but the reader can cherish all that gruesomeness with just a shiver of... |

| 2. |  | A Mind to Murder from Faber and Faber Price: £5.49 Customer Review:  A Mind To Murder is a typical who-dunnit murder mystery with unusal suspects. When the administrative head of a psychiatric clinic is found dead, Inspector Dalgliesh focuses on the staff members of the clinic rather than the patients. I believe that this novel is a great improvement over the... |

| 5. |  | A Certain Justice from Faber and Faber Price: £4.79 Customer Review: Venetia Aldridge is a top notch criminal lawyer. She hardly ever looses a case and is able to find the holes in any argument. Her personal life isn't so rosy, however. She is basically estranged from her daughter and considered a problem by her co-workers. Her life really begins to unravel when her... |

| 6. |  | The Lighthouse from Penguin Price: £4.89 Customer Review: I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that I liked this book. I struggle to come out of my comfort murder mystery zone of Agatha Christie, Conan Doyle, and 20s and 30s classics - I haven't often gone past the 10th page of a contemporary detective story. I picked this cheap - second hand - and... |

| 7. |  | The Children of Men from Faber and Faber Price: £5.59 Customer Review:  I read this book in two days whilst on holiday and loved it. I didn't speed read and by-pass the story (for a change) and really enjoyed the book. But on reflection, it ended rather suddenly. Just seemed a bit like the publisher was there tapping his watch and wanting to wind the whole thing up. |

| 8. |  | Shroud for a Nightingale from Faber and Faber Price: £5.49 Customer Review: A very pleasant mystery book to read. The story itself is not out of the ordinary, but keeps you guessing until the end and I had fun turning the pages. I am reading the author's books in chronological order and can already see how her writing style and the complexity of the stories improve with... |

| 9. |  | Cover Her Face from Faber and Faber Price: £5.49 Customer Review:  ...all too solemn and totally lacking in spark. At least it avoids the charge of being overlong, which is what most of her later novels are. |

| 10. |  | Devices and Desires from Faber and Faber Price: £5.49 Customer Review: P.D. James does not write for the impatient or the restless. Her extraordinary knowledge of and advanced use of the English language, are for the reader who enjoys to dwell on intricate and almost philosophical descriptions, not only geographically and materialistically, but of the human mind in all... |
