Review: Call for the Dead

Call for the Dead by John Le Carré
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is my first John Le Carré novel, so I decided to start out the George Smiley series. This was good and hit all the marks. I can't say it was earth-shattering, but it was a good steady whodunnit. It will be fun to read others in the series.

Review: The Chestnut Man

The Chestnut Man by Søren Sveistrup
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book, while a fast-paced (for the most part), riveting mystery thriller, was a bit too much for me at points. As in, a bit too gruesome and hardcore. I've heard the genre referred to as Nordic noir, but looking back, I think the only book I've read that could fall under the same genre might be Camilla Läckberg. Anyway, let's just say I didn't expect it. But for those of you who enjoy the more hard-hitting no holds barred type of crime fiction, this should do quite nicely.

Review: A Noise Downstairs

A Noise Downstairs by Linwood Barclay
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A fun book, decent- to fast-paced, with enough red herrings to keep me interested and guessing. Although it ended up being a tad far-fetched for my taste.

Still, I think I will read other books by this author.
