May We Recommend
Take a look at some recommended reads from our members
We know that choosing your next book can sometimes feel a little stressful. Which is why here at Shenstone Community Library we want to offer a helping hand by introducing our brand new ‘May We Recommend’ initiative.
Our members will be reading and reviewing a host of books and then sending us their book and author recommendations which we’ll put on this page and on our Facebook and Twitter to help you choose what to read next. Who knows, it may inspire you to find your new favourite book or author or maybe try a book genre you haven’t read yet.
So if you’re lacking a little inspiration for your next book, may we recommend…
My name is Jane Cotton and my recommended author is Linwood Barclay.
I have always enjoyed crime/mystery books and have read most if not all from Lee Child, Kathy Riechs, Alexander McCall Smith, David Baldacci, Michael Connelly etc. I guess you get the picture.
However, a friendly volunteer put me on to Linwood Barclay and I have really enjoyed the 2 series that I have read.
The first series I read was about Zak Walker, a reluctant detective and what I really enjoyed was the humour behind the character as well as, of course, the unexpectedness that always makes a good read. Bad Move was the first in this series.
I have now moved on to a trilogy about Promise Falls- small town USA with Broken Promise. Here, Linwood, was juggling several story lines and I was rather amazed that one story line was left in complete limbo so I am really looking forward to book 2 in the series.
If you like similar stories and you’ve not read any of Linwood Barclay’s books, please give them a try- as far as I can see we have most in our library.
