Another Dud.

Didn’t take long to decide that this book was not working for me
The Titanic Secret
A not to be believed pre-war thriller set aboard the Titanic.
Predictably both the hero and heroine make it through to the end of the book a bit battered and bruised, to complete the happy ending.
Lazy bones
Readable but only just. I needed the help of Google to recall the story line of this book by Mark Billingham.
The unfolding plot is both clumsy and contrived. In particular, the attempt at an erotic twist in the tale. Inserted for impact rather than content, the punch line falls flat. Clumsy and puerile. Only suggested if there is nothing else to hand.

Borrowed Light
This was one of the few books I have enjoyed reading recently. It is crime thriller and an easy captivating read.

The Godless
Not a particularly good book. Nor is it that well written. But I enjoyed reading it all the same.
Looks like it is part of a series and it gets a bit gory at times. But it is an easy light read. The writer is a good story teller. Set in fourteenth century London it is supposed to have some historical significance which may or may not be particularly accurate.
Shirley Anne Rautenbach
My past history includes many years in corporate first as PA, then Project Administrator and the Project Manager. I was retrenched about 6 years ago and decided to relocate to Durban from JHB – not finding anything to equal my salary or work experience I decided to take a year off and during this time found work as a freelance writer. I have been for the past (about 4 years) writing articles for websites around the world. I currently work for about 3 different ‘handlers’. I am proficient in web research, adhering to deadlines as well as adhering to SEO principles.
I write articles on almost any subject and charge per length of the article (and urgency).

Dead Centre
Fast moving, action packed, almost believeable.
Another book by an ex Special Forces author. Well written and not too over the top. A light read for those who enjoy the genre.
Cold Blood
Another action thriller from Andy McNab. Cold Blood precedes the other two in the series which I have read.
An easy read with all the usual hardcore exploits expected from a fictional Special Forces operative.
