Aunts Aren't Gentlemen: (Jeeves & Wooster) by P.G. Wodehouse

 

 I love Jeeves and Wooster - it makes me laugh out loud!  I did enjoy this one (the last) but it it wasn't as funny as some of the earlier ones. 

The Vows of Silence: Simon Serrailler Book 4 by Susan Hill

I am really enjoying this series, although it is starting to feel a little formulaic.  The most enjoyable bits of the book are the interpersonal relationships.

Children Act by Ian Mcewan

This is a well thought out and structured novel. The novel is short but has some vivid characters and scenes. Many of the issues are not new but you can imagine such things really going on. My enjoyment of this book slowly crept up slowly and by the end I decided how much I had enjoyed it.  

Casino Royale by Ian Flemming

The first novel in the James Bond series and even though I love the films I had never read any of the books before.  The novel itself is short but enjoyable. It is very similar to the Daniel Craig film and it was hard to read without picturing the film, especially because the film people stuck close to the novel in their adaptation.

 

Ebola: The Natural and Human History by David Quammen

 

This is a very easy read telling of the medical and biological features of Ebola in a non-hysterical manor.

It is a small book that covers a lot concisely, with enough detail of what we know and what we need to know.  I am looking forward to reading the longer book, Spillover, where this formed a chapter.

The Pure In Heart: Simon Serrailler Book 2 (Simon Serrailler series) and The Risk of Darkness: Simon Serrailler Book 3 Susan Hill

I read the next two books in the Serralier series... I really enjoyed them.  Both books tell the same story.

The Various Haunts Of Men: Simon Serrailler Book 1 (Simon Serrailler series) by Susan Hill

 

Having read an autobiography of Susan Hill I thought I ought to read some of her fiction.

I really enjoyed this detective story.
It is a gripping, page-turning thriller with engaging characters, a tight and twisting plot.
Serrailler's family come across as smug, middle-class.
