1.		Faceless Killers (Kurt Wallander Mystery) from Vintage Price: £4.19 Customer Review: If not the best police procedural in terms of plot, this is certainly a good introduction to Inspector Kurt Wallander. He's a newly single grumpy forty-something who frets about his family; but he is a good, conscientious policeman who's not afraid of doing the hard stuff himself. When a gruesome... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

2.		Hard Landing (Dan Shepherd Mysteries) from Hodder Paperbacks Price: £5.49 Customer Review: I have just read Hard Landing for the 2nd time with a gap of about 3 years. I have a talent for developing amnesia when it comes to reading and therefore I could really only remember the basic plotline. I was once again captivated by the tension the author creates in this thriller and found myself... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

3.		Bloodshot (Logan McRae) from St. Martin's Minotaur Price: £8.16 Customer Review: please note this book, marketed as Bloodshot, is actually Broken Skin by another name. I have just purchased it having already bought and read Broken Skin( which was fine) am now returning my spare copy.Bloodshot (Logan McRae)	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

4.		Death's Door (Bob Skinner Mysteries) from Headline Price: £5.09 Customer Review: Quintin Jardine writes a number of serial style books about recurring characters. One of his recurring characters is Bob Skinner, the Deputy Chief Constable for the Edinburgh area of Scotland. By all accounts he's typical of most detectives these days. He bends rules when he needs to, and breaks... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

5.		Death of a Dreamer (A Hamish Macbeth Mystery) from Warner Books Price: £3.88 Customer Review: A little bit too much like taking the best bits of her other books and boiling them up into a hotch potch. They are all here the fantasist (a scool teacher last time) the muderer who cares for Macbeth (a terminally ill spinster last time). I could go on its a bit like one of those Simpsons clip... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

6.		A Cotswold Mystery: 0 (Cotswold) from Allison & Busby Price: £5.49 Customer Review: A COTSWOLD MYSTERY is light reading without being too cosy. There is a cast of interesting characters and the descriptions of Blockley and its history make the reader want to visit the area. The relationship between Thea and Jessica in particular is well portrayed. The pair are close, but their... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

7.		Death of a Bore (Hamish Macbeth Mysteries) from Warner Books Price: £3.74 Customer Review: Pardon me, but I found this title to be inapt for the book. The victim, John Heppel, is a bad writer, acts in inconsiderate ways, displays immense egotism, and is generally despicable. But I didn't find him boring . . . just obnoxious. The book, too, is anything but boring. What distinguishes... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

8.		Merciless: A Novel of Suspense from Ballantine Books Price: £4.00 Customer Review: Having read all six of Richard Montanari's books I am convinced that he is incapable of writing a bad book. That being said, however, Merciless does not measure up to the other two books in the series featuring Homicide Detectives Byrne and Balzano. While Montanari's writing style and characters... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

9.		The Mercedes Coffin from Harperluxe Price: £13.04 Customer Review: When the police see a crime that's unusual, they check their records to see if there are any other similar crimes. When the details match, they often find that the same person was responsible. Career criminals frequently repeat themselves. What's rare, however, is when 15 years separate the... more info	Customer Rating: 2.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.		The Railway Detective from Allison & Busby Price: £5.99 Customer Review: Rather a mixture. Despite the impeccable detail, this story had the feeling of being set in a slightly later period, and I'm not entirely sure why. It might be the dialogue (which I sometimes found pedestrian), or perhaps the Holmesean resonances, especially the characters of the engine driver and... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
