In fiction, and for fans of crime, Sue loved [[Even Dogs in the Wild by Ian Rankin ]]. The twentieth Rebus novel sees Rankin at his best. It's bang on the moment, twisty and totally engrossing. The title is from a song by The Associates which looks at how we treat each other within families, at the harm we do each other and how it can pass down through the generations. It's perfect for this highly recommended novel.
For those of you who enjoy historical fare, Ani suggests [[The Winter Isles by Antonia Senior ]], a wonderful historical fiction introduction to Somerled, a 12th century Scottish warlord and hero. It's action packed and yet is told with an underlying sensitivity, authenticity. With a definite Celtic atmosphere seeping through the pages, this is literary magic.
