This is a review of a 2008 book 'The Front' by Patricia Cornnwell. This is not my usual genre but I realise she is a popular crime writer. Five years ago, I read another book by this author 'At Risk' but I haven't made many comments next to the log (yes I am a reading geek) so I can assume I didn't really enjoy it that much! This book was given to me by a friend in a random pile of books, not because she thought I'd enjoy it but because she felt guilty that I was always giving her books and she never gave any back but she got these from the work swaps table and gave them straight to me. First impressions When I first looked at the book I noticed the ... Read the complete review

Patricia Cornwells previous novels have attracted international acclaim and an avalanche of awards. When a copy of her latest novel "The Front" fell into my hands I replanned my evening around it. I ensconced myself in my favourite armchair and prepared to become engrossed with the exploits of Massachusetts detective Win "Geronimo" Garano in what has been described by the critics as "an extraordinary, compulsively readable novel". Its readable all right. The story flows smoothly and seamlessly following our intrepid detective throughout the course of a very short week. A week that contains more action that that of the occupants ... Read the complete review

This is the scond book in the seris of Win Garano who is a Massachusetts State Investigator. He had been given a case to solve which will proof to be rather challenging by his boss Monique Lamont. The case which he had to solve was of a murder which happened over forty years ago of a lady who was blind. It was persumed that the Boston Strangler had murdered Janie Brolin and she had been left dead after she was raped and all this happened in 1962. Win had very little to go on as the records were patchy so it was a very challening case to be involved in. He spent along time researching the archives and also in contact with the Scotland Yard. and ... Read the complete review
