Peter James – Dead if you Don’t

FeaturednotinheckmondwikebookshopLeave a Comment on Peter James – Dead if you Don’t

Peter James183

Brighton this time with Roy Grace. Demonstrating all the requirements to fit the “modern” detective genre. A boss who speaks gobbledygook is an idiot and has a name to suit (apologies to anyone named Caspian or Pewe), a set of detectives with confused relationship problems, a set of criminals devising twisted and evil ways to torture and kill and a set of victims that have many faults of their own.

Added together though, with a quick moving engaging plot, all it needs to challenge Nordic Noir is for the hero to go to the toilet now and again. All in all though this is a great series that I would recommend. I can’t say I have copies of every one of them in the shop, and can’t go up to check, but as I have read nearly all of them, I must have a fair number.

Just pondering, would it be OK under current rules to offer free delivery of books purchased on-line (just in the Spen Valley).

LEEDS UNITED THE REVIE YEARS by Con Egan

notinheckmondwikebookshopLeave a Comment on LEEDS UNITED THE REVIE YEARS by Con Egan

Frustrating book because it looks mucky with a grotty signature on the front, but that is the book, they are all the same. Though this copy looks scruffy it is unread and as good as you will get, I think. No illustrations and the pages are unnumbered, no one else has bothered to count them, and I haven’t either. Published in 2014, this is what it says about itself;

..and this is the guilty cover

I am asking for £5.00 for this copy.

MEN ONLY and London Opinion

Not what you expected, there are pin-ups in some issues but very respectable (if you don’t mind the odd nipple. But lots of other “stuff”, though unfortunately the earlier issues have no index. The list shows issues I have available, great birthday presents for 60 year olds.
