|author= Cath Staincliffe
|title= The Silence Between Breaths
|rating= 5
|genre= Crime
|summary= I'm always wary of author endorsements, even those from people I rate as writers, but the ''harrowing and humane'' quote from Ian Rankin on the front cover of ''The Silence Between Breaths'' does not overstate the case. This is an extremely powerful book.

|author= A P McGrath
|summary= I have no idea what Great Yarmouth has ever done to Harry Brett, but, boy, is he getting his own back! Now personally, I don't much like the town, and I know it has its seedy side, like most places, but I can't believe it's quite this bad. According to Brett, the weather's as dreary as the down'n'outs, the streets are grim, and the people worse. He makes the point that no-one comes to Yarmouth for their summer holidays anymore…if that wasn't true before this book, it's likely to be so afterwards. If a place could sue for defamation of character, the town would want to. The opening shot is of Richard Goodwin going down into the murky waters of the Yare out back of his office. Goodwin was not a good person...

|author=Gregory Mcdonald
|title=Snatch
|rating=3.5
|genre=Crime
|summary=It's not often that you get two books for the price of one, but if you are going to see this anywhere it will likely be in a reissue. Taking the back catalogue of an author and compiling a larger book consisting of similar stories is a great way of reusing stock that you already have. Hard Case Crime have done this with two books by ''Fletch'' author Gregory Mcdonald. Surely two books that centre on kidnapping by the same author would be similar enough to be placed together? Think again.
