New Reviews on Euro Crime this week:
This week we go to America, Norway, France, Russia and Botswana in our
reviews, starting with Lee Child's Jack Reacher in his latest paperback
incarnation - 'Bad Luck and Trouble' reviewed by sock knitter
extraordinaire Pat Austin;
I review the second of the Vik-Stubo series by Anne Holt which is set in
Norway and France - 'The Final Murder' (US: 'What Never Happens') - I
preferred this to the first book enormously;
Continuing in France, Laura Root reviews the first book to feature
Nicholas Le Floch - 'The Chatelet Apprentice' by Jean-Francois Parot set
in pre-revolutionary Paris;
Karen Chisholm reviews the much publicised (in the UK) 'Child 44' by Tom
Rob Smith set in Stalinist Russia;
Moving onto Botswana, Maxine Clarke calls - 'A Carrion Death' by Michael
Stanley a "rip-roaring read"
and back in France, Maxine has good things to say about 'Bruno, Chief of
Police' by Martin Walker.
