WHAT I AM READING NOW AND NEXT

At the moment I am reading The Maze of Cadiz by Aly Monroe and my review will be posted on Euro Crime in due course.

I will be starting The Skull Mantra by Eliot Pattison hopefully just in time for the opening ceremony of the Berlin 1936 Olympic Games. 

Oops sorry that's what comes of reading too many Philip Kerr novels, of course I meant the Beijing 2008 Olympics. 

The blurbs on The Skull Mantra look interesting...

'Does for Tibet what Gorky Park did for Russia. A colourful moving portrayal of a strange and complex Tibet under an iron fist.'  Portsmouth Herald

I think we can predict that not many athletes will be taking The Skull Mantra to Beijing as reading material.
