The Party |
Although I must be in the minority of one, with all the publicity and praise Elisabeth Day is receiving from booksellers and press, I thought it such a bad book, rather vulgar and I didn't think it had any suspense at all, very predictable, you could see the clues coming from miles away, elephantine, I thought and her construction was very weak, Robert Galbraith, Rowlings pseudonym, also a thriller bestseller now, is streets and streets ahead of her.

The Party |
Such a good read, I found her book extremely cleverly constructed. The way in which she shows the layers and the roles they inhabit in modern day society by her portrayal of the characters and the situations in which they interact. And of course, the way she goes about it, managing at the same time to achieve a level of suspense that keeps you intrigued to the very last page - just why was Martin in the police station?
