The Basement - Stephen Leather

An entertaining little thriller in very much two halves. I enjoyed the scenes with Marvin and his cat and mouse game with the police. I found the alternating scenes with the killer as he abused his victim somewhat disturbing and uncomfortable reading - but then I imagine I was supposed to and these scenes were thankfully light on gory details, more suggestive than graphic. And I never saw the ending coming at all. Very well done.

The Tinkerer's Daughter - James Sedgwick

I enjoyed this charming YA fantasy. Breeze made for a delightful heroine. There were few surprises and the Mary Sue element did tend to take over somewhat once the action got going but a good read all the same.

Athos: If you'd told us what you were doing, we might have been able to plan this properly.
Aramis: Yes, sorry.
Athos: No, no, by all means, let's keep things suicidal.
