by Wilkie Collins
A ghost story set in London and Venice. In true Collins style the plot gallops along as the mystery of what really went on with the older brother in a family is revealed. Great stuff and also coupled with a short story, The Dream Woman'. 8/10

My Brilliant Friend
by Elena Ferrante
Part of a quartet of books that follows two friends from childhood on. It is set in Naples and starts in the 1950's and although at times it moves quite slowly its evocation of Naples streets and childhood memories is fantastic. Definitely worth a read, especially if you grew up in a time when not everybody had a tv or a car 8/10

The Dark Angel
by Dominique Silvain
Quirky crime thriller involving two women, one a burlesque dancer and the other a retired policewoman. Okay but wouldn't rush for the next in the series 5/10
