Sophie Hannah - a game for all the family

[SouthWestmom]

Now I know,why it was only £3 - one of those books where nothing would happen like that.

Ok another dire offering - The Quiet Ones - looked great on the cover; wasn't....

The shut eye was actually pretty good I thought :) once I got stuck in.
I'm now on the latest Lingwood barcay, I like them but they're a bit...Dean Koontz. Anyone know what I mean?

Ans will download the things we have in common

Who did The Shut Ete? And yy to Linwood Barclay - sometimes I start them and then realise I've read it

Sorry! Name changed to test the app! Stealthkick is me, Noeuf!

Belida bauer, think that's her name
Linwood b just seems a bit macho to me. Books rend to be good. I remember reading the first one and it seemed new, an entirely new genre

Yes,Linwood Barclay is more Harlan Coben than Sophie Hannah. Different genre but quite good.

Yes definitely harlan coven you're right. More than Dean Koontz. And I think o stopped reading both as they wereso macho and ...I don't know. Linwood is going that way

Just found a huge error in this linwood barclay book. I want to be a proofreader!

Hint?

Is it The Stranger?

No its promise falls. Have you read it?

When I talk about latest I mean in paperback. I realise there's usually a newer one out in hardback!

No I might download it though

Bumping this as I've just found the use of the word "draw" when they mean "drawer" I'm a book I've just read, a proper published paperback.

Stealth - which book? I've noticed this a lot actually recently!

It's called you sent me a letter
it is part of a quote but the guy saying it is meant to be educated, a lawyer, so I don't think it was deliberate.
I'm getting quite irritated and I'm sure it's getting more frequent. Or am I just reading more trash?

I didn't like that book. I've also noticed a trend for books to appear to lack editing but sometimes this may be I buy Kindle books which may be self-published. Properly edited books shouldn't have irritating grammar mistakes.

I have also noticed a growing trend for the murderer to turn out to be a dissociative alter ego of the main character/narrator. I'm fed up with it.

Oh I expect it in self published crap, bit it's started creeping in to 'proper' books. I wonder what has changed.

Yes I agree - it features in books produced by reputable publishing houses too.
Draws is one annoying example.
I also dislike your and you're, the inevitable misuse of commas and principal instead of principle.

I'm on page 88 of the missing by c l Taylor and have found one typo and one grammatical error so far.
