I would have liked to put "The greatest swordsman throughout the known world" but eclectic book dealer and motorcyclist and ex politico would be slightly more accurate. (the pic is not up to date by the way)

Peter James – Dead if you Don’t

notinheckmondwikebookshopLeave 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).

Barker Dragon – Stock Take

notinheckmondwikebookshopLeave a Comment on Barker Dragon – Stock Take

Not a publisher that lasted a long time, but they did publish some authors  other publishes didn’t. What they did though is spend time choosing some great covers. Unusually I have included a large number in this blog. I did choose one of their covers for my title page.

Even the less than inspiring subjects have great illustrators.

Stock I have not done a recent stock check but I am confident that I have these titles. NOTE postage not included. Please let me know if you are interested in any of these title notinheckmondwikebookshop@gmail.com
