Is the Alex Ryder series a suitable ADULT read. Have read three of your books and in the process of reading #4 and 5, one in book form the other digital. That’s a good indication that I am enjoying your work.
Graeme, I just finished Magpie Murders, and I thoroughly enjoyed every word. I read Trigger Mortis (a James Bond novel by Horowitz) a few months ago, and decided I would like to read more of him. I am so glad that I did! The book is a marvelous story within a story with characters we can all relate to, and despite some less-than-enthusiastic reviews, I stuck with my first instinct and read the book. Totally delightful. The audio version is very ably performed by a male and a female narrator, and their performances are both spot on. A truly delightful whodunnit, and now that I know whodunnit, I’m half tempted to go back and re-read to see if I would pick up on the clues the second time around, ha! Great book!!!
That’s great to hear 🙂 I haven’t got round to reading that one yet I’ll have to add it to my list.
