i did read the Kate Atkinson too, I hadn't read any of hers before. However, I found the style really anoying and some of the things that happened were, quite frankly, utterly rediculous. A shame, because some bits were quite well done. The Malla Nunn was fantastic, something a bit different. At the moment I am reading The Silver Pig by Lindsey Davis, the first of the Didio Falko novels. I haven't read any of hers before, but I heard her on the radio, forget which program now, a few weeks ago and decided to give one a go. So far it's very good, but I've only just started it and the names are giving me a bit of grief to keep track of. I'm also scanning a book called Dead at Daybreak by another South African author called Deon Meyer, which is pretty good so far.

Hi I have just finished Kate Atkinson's "when will there be good news". She is a good writer and can say more in one line than others do in a page, but her books do get so confusing at times. This one really tied me in knots. My next book will be one recommended by shell called "A beautiful place to die" by Malla Nunn who is, I think, Australian although the book is set in South Africa. I am also reading one of the early Peter Robinson books "A dedicated man". David -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG.
