I’ve just finished the edit of the latest page-turner in the DI Miller series by John Carson – only one week to wait for its release but it’s available for pre-order now.
The badly decomposed body of a young woman is found in the old nuclear bunker in Corstorphine Hill, where there is ongoing work being done to turn it into a museum. In her pockets are found items belonging to Becky McIver, a woman who went missing six years ago.
Back then, Gus McIver was arrested and charged with his wife’s murder. He maintained his innocence, and despite Becky’s body never being found, McIver was sentenced to life in prison. No trace of Becky has ever been found. Until now.
As I have done many times in the past, one of my New Year’s Resolutions is to read more! There are so many great books and so little time. Last year I succeeded in my decision to not spend time re-reading old favourites but sadly didn’t come close to my target of reading one new novel each week.
Next on my reading list is the whole of the DI Frank Miller series by John Carson as I began editing these novels from book seven in the series. With luck and not too many interruptions to his schedule this year, there will be many more Frank Miller novels to come during 2019.
All subscriptions to television will be cancelled to be replaced with a Kindle Unlimited subscription in an effort to ensure that I can try as many new authors as possible this year, but there are also a few books on my shelves that have been awaiting my attention for some time, including the ending to the Ibis Trilogy and a few others by Amitav Ghosh including The Glass Palace which was purchased in an airport some years ago!
A really enjoyable but last-minute edit squeezed in just before Christmas, the eleventh novel in the DI Frank Miller series is a fast-paced thriller that keeps you turning the pages until the very end.
The 9th novel in the DI Miller series. I love editing these stories – the Scottish slang is great fun and this complex plot kept me guessing until the very end, and I had great feedback from the author for my work:
“Great edit. I’m really pleased with that.
You have made this book so much better, and I’m looking forward to you going through the next one.”
“Edinburgh gangster Adrian Jackson has spent the last 25 years in an American prison, but now he’s free and back home.
He wants to reclaim what was rightfully his and with the help of his wife, Fiona, nobody’s going to stop him.
Or so he thinks…
DI Frank Miller is tasked with making sure Jackson’s transition goes smoothly, but not everybody is pleased to see Jackson back in town.”
Another wonderful and humorous instalment in the Guesthouse on the Green series as Mammy and Moira travel Vietnam.
I love the series and can't wait for book four!
A quick but emotional read - reading about the cruelty to the dog was heartbreaking but this was a lovely tale of the love and healing that animals can bring to our lives.
I would have given five stars but for the missed typos - a few t...
I get the impression that this could be a nice story but I've had to give up after forcing myself to go as far as 15% of the way through. If this novel has ever been near a remotely professional editor then the author was conned.
Chapte...
Another very enjoyable story but with a few niggles, hence the four stars rather than five. Maybe it's because I was tired but the editing issues grated on me more than in the first story and, do people really generally believe that 'ear...
