I think this may be his first novel (see 447); I have read it before but always enjoy it. The plot is as described above, although with...

The 3rd in the Thomas Kell series. This was brilliant; he is a great writer this guy and I am surprised that none of these books has been...

The 2nd in the Thomas Kell series. This was weird because I had read the book before, and spent a lot of the time reading it puzzling...

The first of a series of novels featuring Thomas Kell, a disillusioned and cynical ex MI5 officer, who has been suspended in disgrace...

The third of the three I bought with the birthday tokens and by far the best. The key point is that this is a good novel, with the spy...

Went to Windsor on Saturday and used my birthday tokens on some spy thrillers recommended on an Andrew Marr BBC program, perhaps because...

Another book from the ‘Best Crime Thriller’ website. Patrick Neate (or at least his hero) is a Ugandan Asian private eye, living in...

This is one of the best, and also in a way most difficult of the books. It is the one I accidentally deleted from my kindle in Spain...

Complete rubbish. Get this on Amazon

This, I thought, was poorly written, but the terrific pace of the plot made up for that. A man is minding his own business in his garden...

I don’t know when I last read this book, but I thought it was absolutely wonderful this time round. It is quite beautifully constructed;...

I can see why I dumped these books in the attic when the bookcases became over-crowded a few years ago; they’re OK but it is doubtful...

The 10th and most recently published in the series. I liked the beginning more, when it was firmly rooted in Three Pines. A child...

It looks as if Robinson has been moonlighting on the other side of the Atlantic; writing this (I assume) for a US audience as it was...

As the madness of 31st January approached, I thought I’d stick with the writer I know and enjoyed and re-read the first book (no.362)...

No.6 in this series and I loved this as well, although it was long and at times difficult. A lot about the history of Quebec, about which...
