 Person or Persons Unknown - Anthea Fraser Well written and great storyline Quite a lot of irrelevant information |  Capacity - Tony Ballantyne Tight plotting, exciting action, well-managed sexual themes. A little too complex. |  Darkness & Light - John Harvey Compelling reading None really |
 Seven Sunny Days - Chris Manby Easy relaxing read Not very challenging |  Mezzanine - Nicholson Baker Skillful, perceptive writing, original storytelling.

 The Abstinence Teacher - Tom Perrotta Nice plot, interesting characters. A bit quiet. |  Reading in Bed - Sue Gee Quite pleasant to read and you can find it relatively cheap, as I did The stereotypes - possibly for some the lack of marks of speech |  Cutthroat - Michael Slade Very clever, tight and highly well thought of plot....excellent recurring characters That silly dream sequence in the penultimate section of the book |
