It's further complicated by the fact that I'm doing a lot of challenges so most of them have to be written about in some form or another... a proper long review or a short one. Exactly, when you don't get to it straight away the book's gone from your head and it's a 'lot' harder to write about. <br /><br />I have Smallbone Deceased too and Death Has Deep Roots.<br /><br />I actually have not been to Burnham either but know most of the other locations in these books.

I think it's too late for some of them, but I do intend to review the books I've read so far this month, Sweet Thursday and Anything You Do Say.<br /><br />I often think it would be great to read like I used to do and not write reviews at all! I'll finish one at night in bed or maybe just before going out etc and then I'm usually onto the next book without writing anything and then it's all so much more difficult. Gardening at this time of year gets in the way of writing too.<br /><br />I've only read one of Michael Gilbert's books, After the Fine Weather, a spy mystery that wasn't too inspiring for me. But I have a copy of Smallbone Deceased which, I've heard, is one of his better ones.<br /><br />And the Somerset books interest me - my sister lived in Somerset, but near Taunton so I don't know Burnham-on-Sea!Margaret @ BooksPleasehttp://www.booksplease.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-70393873919909566772019-06-14T23:24:10.568+01:002019-06-14T23:24:10.568+01:00Yvonne: I understand completely...

Not that I *have* to but as a book-blogger you feel like you should somehow. But it becomes a real bind sometimes and I am at the moment 2 books behind, again.<br /><br />I believe Death in Captivity was made into a film, not sure what the title was though. No... I agree about Burnham but it is rather nice to have the author mention certain locations and know exactly where they mean. <br /><br />Thank you... have a good weekend. We have family tomorrow followed by a quiet day on Sunday.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-18374555363829879532019-06-13T23:04:11.705+01:002019-06-13T23:04:11.705+01:00Hi Cath,
I am always way behind with reviews, so ...Hi Cath,<br /><br />I am always way behind with reviews, so I have had a conversation with myself and decided that, going forward, I shall be writing my review as soon as I have finished reading the book and getting it published immediately. This is definitely going to be my 'last chance saloon' and if this doesn't work, FB is going to have the plug pulled on it!<br /><br />'Death In Captivity' sounds as though it would be more effectively recounted as a film or mini TV series, so I'll probably pass on that one, even though I might find it interesting.<br /><br />The Damien Boyd series is definitely on my radar, as I too know the area the stories are set in, very well, although Burnham-on-Sea is probably not the most inspiring location in Somerset!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing, I always enjoy your mini reviews :)<br /><br />Yvonne<br />xxYvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-67374901382809261302019-06-12T23:06:19.231+01:002019-06-12T23:06:19.231+01:00Pat: Yep, both mystery fans but yeah, I do need a ...Pat: Yep, both mystery fans but yeah, I do need a change now and then. Need to look out some fantasy books soon but not sure what.<br /><br />Wow.. seven years ago? Heck.<br /><br />Mystica: Glad I'm not the only one who's always behind with reviews. I still have 2 more to catch up on.

Soon (don't know when) I think I will try to reread Michael Scott's Nicolas Flamel series. Just to break away and get a bit of fantasy fiction. <br /><br />Here's something "funny" we talked and i put the last book of that series up to show you my name... later in the day I clicked on "memories" in FB and there was the book cover!.. it was 7 years ago that I finished that series!! SEVEN YEARS!! DesLilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02582481597658080464noreply@blogger.com
