276. Nicola Upson

I have my friend Katie to thank for introducing me to Nicola Upson's work - so it's Katie you should talk to about the fact that all I want to do is read.

I went off crime novels about 15 years ago when Patricia Cornwell left her hero's face in a fridge - but these are of a much gentler persuasion. The writing is zippy and fresh and there's a contemporary element that brings the mid-thirties setting to life.

She's only written four so far so I'm reading slowly, but I hope she's scribbling as fast as she can...

  1. firstly, another one to put on the retirement list.

    secondly, i'm still waiting for the first GCB so i can start my collection. blogs don't line up nearly so neatly on the book case. in fact i'd actually get a decent book case to put my new collection on.

    incentive?!
