Good Thief’s Guide to Vegas
The good thief’s guide to Vegas is the third book in Chris Ewan’s Good thief’s series featuring Charlie the mystery writer thief. Funnily enough this book is set in Vegas and revolves around Charlie and Victoria’s misfortune of getting mixed up in an illusionist deception of the casino which employs him. Victoria is Charlie’s agent for his lawful career and we learn a lot more about her and her past in this book. Yet again Chris keeps us guessing through the novel and having read the two previous book I’m starting to get a feeling for his writing style but I still couldn’t work out the ending.
This book was a first for me as it’s the first e-book I’ve read and it was a far nicer experience than I expected, the iPad I read it on isn’t the easiest thing to put in your pocket but it is easier to sit in bed and read, you don’t have to hold the book open at the right page just prop it up against the headboard. I’m impressed and will buy more, might even consider buying a kindle just for the ease of carrying one. But that’s in the future.
No idea what to read now though…
Good Thief’s Guide to Amsterdam
This is the best book I have read in a while and the only book I’ve read cover to cover in one night, not once but twice. There are so many little twists and turn in this book that you just can’t put it down.
The story revolves around a crime author, Charlie, who also happens to be a thief and the mystery of the 3 monkeys, see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil. While struggling with the final draft of his latest novel Charlie is approached to steal two of the monkeys by a mysterious American. Once Charlie has the monkeys, the American is found dead and everything unravels from there taking the reader on a journey round the darker side of Amsterdam.
This book is well worth a read and I dare anyone who picks it up to try and stop reading it half way through.
More wind
How about a metal sign wrapped round a tree. You can’t quite see it in the photo but the small branch has actually cut into the sign.
Photo a day…
It’s not working so far and I don’t think it will. I don’t do enough interesting things to make it a photo a day… will just stick to putting up stuff when I find something interesting to post rather than because I feel I have too.
Scotlands windy winter
So far winter hasn’t really been winter here, its been too warm and no snow!
There has been a lot of wind though.
Poor old tree, it was rotten in the middle anyway.
Crewe station disabled ramp…
Crewe station seem to have some strange ideas about where you need a ramp…
Home for 2 nights
This is home for the next couple of nights while I’m at the assessment centre for a possible job. Not lucky enough to be in this fancy bit, but it still looks nice.
