FRANK BALDOCK AGAIN SHARES HIS LITERARY OPINIONS WITH CAN OF WORDS READERS
	Chillwater cove  by Thomas Lakeman	A good story, real page turner
	Death's door  by Qintin Jardine	Mr Jardine rarely presents a poor yarn
	Dear departed by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles	A good detective yarn - well structured
	Birdman  by Mo Hayder	An excellent plot but spoiled by excessive violence
	Set in darkness by Ian Rankin	A very readable murder mystery
	Mind games by Hilary Norman	Without doubt the best murder/mystery/psychology book I have read in the past ten years!!!!!!!

A chilling modern story!!

	The Wheel of darkness by Preston and Child	Different - Mystical - Entertaining
	Red rabbit by Tom Clancy	The usual tale of American invincibility
