Review: The Keepsake

The Keepsake by Sheelagh Kelly

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



The dialog is a little stilted and difficult at the beginning but plough on and it gets better. Crossing the divide between the wealthy and the poor, the unlikely match of little rich girl and hotel boot boy continues through the first world war. Henrietta is a surprising heroine; strong-minded and stubborn she does not deviate from her chosen path and is equally praise-worthy and frustrating in turn.

Good social commentary interweaved into a story full of interesting characters with lots going on.

Review: The Heretic's Treasure

The Heretic's Treasure by Scott Mariani

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Another good action packed thriller with enough mystery / suspense to keep you there. And a twist in the tale at the end.

Ben Hope, action hero to rival Jack Reacher, is embroiled in a search for hidden treasures in Egypt. Not for profit; he has so much more to lose.

Review: Winter of the World

Winter of the World by Ken Follett

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



A real block-buster; a history lesson and social studies in UK, Germany, Russia and America before and through the second world war. With such great characters and story lines that it is never boring and you just keep going back for more. An "I couldn't put it down".

The second in The Century Trilogy and I am looking forward to reading the third. Ken Follett excels at these historical sagas - Pillars of the Earth and World without End were brilliant too.

Lots more please
