MARCH 2018 BOOKS BY MICHAEL ROBOTHAM

CLOSE YOUR EYES

Judy J

The story involves the death of a mother and daughter - strategically placed - the subsequent police investigation - the living families involvement.  It was a real suspense thriller.

Pat

In this book Pat thinks that Michael Robotham has included a version of his own private life into the writings.  She is looking forward to the next book by the author and reading them with interest.

Wendy 2

Wendy liked the human aspect in the storyline.  It was a well enjoyed book.

Jo

Not a happy reader with this whole book  - only an OK story.

Lesley

Lesley has a good prior understanding of the author's writing.  In this case she could not work out the ending.  Clever planning in the story line gave this reader a surprise ending.

Natalie

She enjoyed the book and was surprised as she is not normally a crime reader.  She has now recommended the story to others she knows.

Joan

Crime fiction is not her chosen genre - too many plot lines, although she finished the book and received her rewards.  Joan also introduced "Lullaby" as a different aspect of crime fiction reading.

The beginning of this story starts in London and ends up taking the reader to Amsterdam.  The story takes an interesting turn - female characters evolve - this makes reading this book full of intrigue.

Outlined the story to the group - really about the control of women.
