Always good to expand one's horizons, but think I'll pass on this.

That's good to know.<br /><br />The first sentence is a great hook. That alone would make me sit up and take notice of this book.

Looking back, I suppose I was stupidly honest about this, so failed to get my copy ... never mind .... I'm not jealous or anything!<br /><br />A great review, nothing less than I have come to expect and I am glad that you really enjoyed the read this time.<br /><br />YvonneYvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372511622978085955.post-43310235046178130882013-10-23T15:57:36.122+01:002013-10-23T15:57:36.122+01:00Incisive review (as always), Tracy!
