I came to ''Two Wrongs'' after reading Zoë Morris's review of [[Give Me The Child by Mel McGrath|Give Me The Child]] by Mel McGrath. If Zoë reckons a book is worth five of our Bookbag stars, then that's good enough for me and it's a firm recommendation of the author. I wasn't disappointed. The characterisation is excellent. I loved Nevis. She's otherworldly and a little naive but there's an honesty and generosity about her that warms your heart. She's brilliant at maths - even if she does try to reduce life to something which can be computed mathematically - and she believes in justice, regardless of the cost to herself. Perhaps the masterpiece is Christopher Cullen who catches your sympathy - for a while.
The plot is brilliantly constructed. It took me a little while to get the who-is-who straight in my mind but it was certainly worth the effort and it's very cleverly done. I always had a suspicion about what was going to happen ''just'' before it was revealed: I was very much involved in the story and there was one point when I had to remind myself to breathe. The book's highly recommended and I'd like to thank the publishers for letting Bookbag had have a review copy.
We can offer you some true crime from [[Bristol Murders by Nicola Sly|Bristol]]. If you'd prefer fiction, we can offer you a gem from the [[Birdcage Walk by Helen Dunmore|eighteenth century]].
