A massive update

Well someone has not been updating the blog due to a number of reasons but the biggest excuse is life. Sometimes it just gets in the way. There were some real highlights Lynda LaPlante's Tennison, Geraldine Brook's The Secret Chord and Robert Galbraith's Career of Evil. So here are the books I have worked my way through. Restless - William Boyd Paperback, 336 pages, Published 2007 by Bloomsbury I have not read any of William Boyd’s works before and thought it was about time I took the plunge. The selection of Fearless was based on purely the blurb that a mother announces to her daughter that she was a spy during World War II. Eva Delectorskaya/Sally Gilmartin is an intriguing character as a young woman thrust into a world of espionage. You are drawn into her story as she slowly hands to her daughter Ruth the chapters of her life. Ruth is struggling with her life, trying to balance being a single mother, teaching foreign students and trying to complete her degree.
