This is what I say : I know, I know...it's too soon for another Tilly Bagshawe title. Especially one that she wrote as Sidney Sheldon but what can I say, I got hold of another copy and if I dont read it now, I will probably forget to read it. While not that original, t he characters in The Tides of Memory  was quite refreshing. There's Alexia De Verve, Home Secretary with more than one secrets.  Hubbie Teddy and son Michael and daughter Rozie. British. On the other hand, there's daughter Summer, mum Lucy and dad Arnie. American. The focus are more on Alexia and Summer.  And someone from Alexia's past named Billie.  All cha...

  Synopsis : DCI Alan Banks reluctantly investigates DI Bill Quinn with Inspector Joanna Passero. Quinn, convalescing at St Peter’s Police Treatment Centre, was killed by a crossbow on the tranquil grounds, and left compromising photos.  Quinn may be disreputable, linked to a vicious crime in Yorkshire and to a cold case – English Rachel Hewitt 19 vanished in Estonia six years ago. This is What I Say : I have not read any titles by this author prior to this title. Watching the Dark is the first title that I read but it's the 20th installment in the universe of Chief Inspector Banks.   It's a murder/crime investigative title and it was quite good. Good enough for me to read right till the end although it took me quite a long time...over a period of months actually.  I am happy to complete it finally so that I can move on to other titles. There's a couple of murders in this story and they are in a way related so reading Watching the Dark is like watching the inv...
