Bullets, Teeth, & Fists 3: 20 exciting, violent, and sometimes heartbreaking short stories of noir and pulp fiction. by Jason Beech
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bullets, Teeth, & Fists 3: 20 by Jason Beech is an anthology of twenty short stories.

The stories are described as exciting, violent, and sometimes heartbreaking and that is exactly what you get.The stories range from a pregnant women trying to protect her unborn child in a kidnapping gone wrong, a guy babysitting his friend's dog but isn't as straightforward as it sounds to an zombie apocalypse.

Two my favourites were ,The Music Inside Me and Look at him and my least favourite was Spare Change. They are all well written and easy to follow so if you like short stories and books that you can jump in and out , then this just the book for you.

Review: The Hidden Lives of Jack the Ripper's Victims

The Hidden Lives of Jack the Ripper's Victims by Robert Hume
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

The aim of the book is look at the life's of the victims of Jack the Ripper instead of concentrating on their deaths, sadly this has been badly done.It is sadly let down by poor research by the author and amateurish mistakes. Examples of this being the photos he claims to be the victims in life there is no proof to this, another being he gives the wrong name for one of witnesses in Chapter 1. Sadly it brings nothing new to the historical murder case and sheds no new light on the victims. The only positive thing I can say about this book was the cover

To be very trufuly this book is very like The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper by Hallie Rubenhold which come out first.

Review: ISOBEL : A Mallery & Hobbs Murder Case

ISOBEL : A Mallery & Hobbs Murder Case by A.J. Griffiths-Jones
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Isobel Gilyard moves from England to Saint Margaux in France to start a new life with a new job. But what is she hiding ?

Inspector Max Mallery has been transferred from a busy job in Paris to the quiet village of Saint Margaux why is the question. His quiet life is soon interrupted by the arrival of Yorkshire detective Jack Hobbs and the murder of local vineyard owner Cecile Vidal. So is the new start for Isabelle who becomes their main suspect.

The author has produced another thoroughly enjoyable read that I enjoyed from the first page to the last. The book is well written and easy to follow and doesn't leave the reader confused. The author as in her previous books give the reader a variety of interesting characters to learn about, one of my favourites being Isobel herself.

I would definitely recommended it to others who enjoy reading murder mystery
