5. "The Feast" by Margaret Kennedy

Stepped out of my comfort zone - it's not a thriller/mystery. Set in a hotel on the Cornish coast in the summer of 1947. Describing the behaviours of the staff and guests in the week before a cliff collapses on the hotel and kills several of them. Very well-written account of middle-class English people in the aftermath of the Second World War.

Earlier in the week I finished "Find a Victim" by Ross MacDonald. Excellent of course.

Then I read "Moonflower Murders" by Anthony Horowitz which has been getting rave reviews. I enjoyed it, but not as much as I thought I would.

Next up? Not sure.

Happy reading!
