New Reviews on Euro Crime this week:
First off, is 'Crimini' a fine collection of Italian noir short stories,
edited by Giancarlo De Cataldo, which I enjoyed very much even if I did
have to read something a bit lighter half-way through;
Euro Crime's Italian expert Norman Price turns his attention to Russia
this week when he reviews one of this month's competition prizes, 'A
Vengeful Longing' by R N Morris, the second book (by R N Morris) to
feature Crime and Punishment's Porfiry Petrovich;
Maxine Clarke was very impressed with Diane Setterfield's 'The
Thirteenth Tale' calling it a "beautifully written, multi-layered book";
Maxine was less taken with 'Ice Trap' by Kitty Sewell which didn't live
up to her expectations
and Fiona Walker reviews the seventh in the Martin Beck series by
Sjowall and Wahloo, 'The Abominable Man' asserting that it's a
"near-complete triumph".
