The Mating Season: by P.G. Wodehouse

Howards End is on the Landing: A year of reading from home by Susan Hill

Appointment with Death by Agatha Christie

Reaching Down the Rabbit Hole: Extraordinary Journeys into the Human Brain by Allan Ropper and Brian David Burrell

I read this because I'd heard it serialised on radio 4 but, although I really wanted to like this book because I am interested in Neuroscience - I didn't!
I found this book patronising in tone and very self-congratulatory - possibly because it was American but I had expected it to be more like Oliver Sacks' writing!

Golden Hill by Francis Spufford

 
This is the story of a young man with a mystery who turns up in mid-eighteenth century New York, then a small colonial settlement of some 7,000 people.
I know nothing of 1746 New York but really enjoying learning about it as an English colony with a heavy Dutch influence, and slavery still the standard.
I felt the portrayal of New York was vivid, and the cast of characters believable!
The secret surrounding the mysterious Smith was intriguing right up till it was revealed at the end - I love a book where I have no idea of where it is going! 

Dracula by Bram Stoker

This classic horror story is actually told through a collaboration of journals, letters and papers.  The different viewpoints told via each journal create suspense which suits the gothic tone of the novel.
Although a classic, there are some flaws the novel does not explain - why is Dracula obsessed with Mina and the second half, where is there is less Dracula himself, is less gripping than the first half!
