Graham H Miller‘s crime thriller, Buzzard House, the second in the Jonah Greene series followed for a complete change of pace, and then another complete change of genre with Katherine a delightful Regency romance set in Cornwall, by Jenny Hambly.
Michelle Vernal‘s humorous tale of life in the sunny Greek islands, Staying at Eleni’s was a refreshing break from the constant dreary, wet weather that has been a constant in the UK for two months, and then another change of pace with Urcelia Teixeira‘s archaeological thriller, The Bari Bones, and a re-edit of one of John Carson‘s DI Frank Miller detective stories.
Another detective story followed with Recompense, the second in the DCI Carlson series by Caroline Goldsworthy and this will be published in the next couple of weeks. Another action packed thriller Play With Fire by Solomon Carter was next, the third in the latest Eva and Dan trilogy and will be released shortly.

I love the series and can't wait for book four!

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.
