In short, James Lovegrove's 'Sherlock Holmes: The Stuff of Nightmares' is everything a Sherlock Holmes fangirl like me could ask for.

'The Cuckoo's Calling' is an intriguing story unfolded with Rowling’s expert timing and sense of natural pace. This is Rowling at her best.

'The Land Across' does not aim for greatness. But it is an entertaining mystery, well-paced and solidly-plotted. Wolfe weaves a number of strands together in a complex story that delivers in the end.

Crime novels are often criticized for being formulaic. Ariel S. Winter’s 'The Twenty-Year Death' is a crime novel so formulaic that, in a way, it is actually one of the most original works of fiction I have read in any genre.

Overall, 'Deadbeat: Makes You Stronger' is a successful novel in both its plot and narrative structure. I look forward to reading more from Guy Adams and recommend this to any reader who enjoys horror, dark humor and crime fiction, especially when they're all mixed together.

'Joyland' contains memorable characters and a compelling riddle to solve. Those seeking a scare should look to King’s earlier work, but this is a fun book by a man who knows how to tell a story.
