The chaos clock by Gill Arbuthnot is another fantasy adventure, this time set in Edinburgh where time is coming unstuck. A war is raging between the Lords of Chaos and the Guardians of Time and this all centres round a strange Millennium Clock. Will an old golden necklace be enough to help Kate and David overcome the Chaos and retore order and time?
One of my favourite books is Kate Atkinson's Case histories. It is the first of her novels to feature retired policeman Jackson Brodie now operating as a private investigator. The opening chapter is very powerful and is the first of three linked cases which Jackson is drawn into and which only he can solve. The novel is beautifully written and once you start to read you have to keep going to find out what it is that the cases have in common.
