Finbar's Hotel
"A
book written by a committee sounds like a recipe for disaster. And if the committee is made up
of an individualistic bunch of Irish authors, what then?"
Review by
Ann Skea
Hallucinating
Foucault
"Duncker writes for an
educated reader and her characters are clever and challenging but not always completely human."
Patricia
Duncker's book reviewed by Ann Skea
Secrets
"Secrets
is a fine antidote to stark and sterile materialism. It offers a little gossip, a little
enchantment, a few philosophical puzzles and a satisfying revelation of good, Australian
writing."
Review by Ann Skea
The Drowner
"Robert
Drewe's central metaphor in this book is water and he controls every aspect of it with the
artistry and skill of a true drowner."
Robert Drewe's book reviewed

In Full View
"Lily
Brett is a fine writer but her work is often painfully revealing."

Who On Earth is Tom
Baker?
"Had he told more, and
brought more of the skill and energy he shows in the early chapters to the chapters on Dr.Who,
this would have been a much better book."

The Daily
Telegraph Second Book of Obituaries: Heroes and Adventurers
"Apart
from Hugh Massingberd's wonderful compilation of anecdotes in his introduction, this book is
far less funny than the first Daily Telegraph Collection of Obituaries"
Hugh
Massingberd's volume reviewed by Ann Skea
Noirotica 2: Pulp
Friction
"Pulp Friction is an
entertaining collection in its own right..."
Review by Chris Lott
Given the Crime
"Because
of this refreshing tongue-in-cheek approach, Rudman and Dennis make a welcome addition to the
legal procedural sub-genre."
Ann Beame Rudman and Charles Dennis'
book reviewed by Harriet Klausner
Judging Time
"Fans
of this series will especially enjoy Judging Time because it is clearly the best novel
to date."
Leslie Glass' book reviewed by Harriet Klausner
One Must Wait
"One
must be patient with One Must Wait because the novel starts very slow, but once it
clears that first incline, it becomes a runaway roller coaster ride"
Penny
Micklebury's book reviewed by Harriet Klausner
Over the Line
"Fay
Sultan and Teresa Kennedy have created a very dynamic, complex, and memorable work that
examines the flaws in the judicial system when it comes to dealing with the mentally ill."

Shelter From the
Storm
"The fourth book in the “Tubby”
series is by far the best of a very good collection."
Tony Dunbar's
book reviewed by Harriet Klausner
Suspicion of
Deceit
"Suspicion of Deceit
is Barbara Parker’s best work in a string of bestsellers."
