In the hot summer of 1976, a young journalist encounters a faded star of the black and white screen. Why have Leda Grey's films never seen the light of day? A good premise, but slightly marred by the emphasis on place rather than character.

Helen Grace is back, and this time it's VERY personal...
Puerile, sexist humour and plenty of gratuitous violence thrown in. Not my favourite...
In the style of a Russian fairy story with household sprites, damsels in distress, wicked stepmothers and a wicked protagonist. How could there be anything not to absolutely love about this book?
I'm not sure I really liked either of Jessie Burton's books. They showed so much promise but then didn't follow it up. A shame, as they were full of good ideas which seemed to be left by the wayside. Nearly there but not quite!
Lindsay Davies and Flavia Albia ride again. Another amusing romp through the streets of Rome. Oh, and don't forget the wedding!
Absolutely loved it! A post apocalyptic masterpiece with characters you can't help rooting for. Can't wait to see what happens next!
Maitland's medieval magic and mayhem strikes the right chord once again.
