 FRANK BALDOCK SHARES HIS LITERARY OPINIONS WITH CAN OF WORDS READERS

Hunter killer by Patrick Robinson

Once again it is comforting to know that the yanks will save the world when the time comes - what!!!

At close quarters by Gerald Seymour

A classic tale of politics, terrorism, doublecross and managerial ineptitude, but well written.

Killing time by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles

Another good mystery read

Eager to please by Julie Parsons

More twists and turns than a roller coaster, it kept me interested to the very last page

A Perfect nightmare by John Saul

A good plot, but it has been done better by others. Too much repetition, breast beating and guilt for me

Maximum Bob  by Elmore Leonard

Elmore is Elmore is Elmore!!

Talking to strange men by Ruth Rendell

As good as it gets in mystery tales

The Icon by Neil Olson

An intricate story, extremely well told and eye opening for readers unaware of the travails suffered in Greece during World War Two

Pandora's helix by Ken McLure

the more of these medical thrillers I read, the less secure I feel:- what is medical research in this age of 'profit for all'? is it for mankind? I doubt it!!
