Crime and Nostalgic

1. CRIME
Red Dragon and Silence of The Lambs (Thomas Harris)
This is one of my favourite books of all time which is why it is on my first BBC list.. (see my Top 5) but I also found the sequel, "Silence of The Lambs" brilliant as well. So when I heard that he had written a third book I was very excited... that is until I started to read it and it was shite. NEVER read "Hannibal". I can't believe it is by the same author.

I also love Agatha Christie.. in particular "The Mirror Cracked". And the movie version featuring Elizabeth Taylor is pretty good too.

I don't mind Patricia Cornwall's earlier books in her Dr Scarpetta series.


2. NOSTALGIC
I have two that remind me of summer holidays I spent as a teenager at my family's beachhouse.. Seashores & Shadows (Colin Thiele) This is the Australian Author who also wrote "Blue Fin" and "Storm Boy". Also The Lifeguard. I have no idea who wrote it and it is a trashy teen coming of age book. I read both of these books over and over and over...
