|summary=The Quarry series is classic pulp fiction from Max Allan Collins that has spanned almost 50 years. The newest books in the series may be set in the past, but where actually written recently. The success of the [[Quarry's Choice by Max Allan Collins|newer books]], has revitalised interest in the original 1970s run of books. Once known as ''The Broker's Daughter'', ''Quarry's List'' is the second book in the series that may not introduce you to the character, but it does introduce you to why Quarry became a killer of killers.

|summary= This is the first novel of Helle Helle's, an award winning Danish author, to be translated into English. It is easy to see from this novel why she is gaining accolades in her Danish homeland. The rhythmic, natural flow of the narrative is mesmerising and appears to lull you through the book. It has some lovely, spare sentences of description: ''There were run-down cottages with open doors and news on the radio. Gulls flocked around an early harvester in the late sun''. But mostly, it is written in a modernist, almost stream of consciousness style, which I found refreshing.
