As I mentioned in a previous post, in 2011, I used to put quick lists of books I'd read on social media, and only moved to more detailed reviews later in life.
So here are a few summaries from those halcyon days. Latest posts first. Commenters (if any) anonymised.

Just finished re-reading: The Money-changers
by Arthur Hailey. This book was published in the 70s, and is still a
good read. Arthur Hailey was renowned for his exquisite research and
believable and engaging characters. (Contrast with a recently re-read
Sidney Sheldon, whose characters were like something out of a sitcom
trailer (not the sitcom itself, do note).) You may be pleasantly
surprised how little the thinking in the 70s actually impinges upon the
story. Worth a read. Rating: Very good.
Recently finished (re)reading: The Burning Wire by Jeffery Deaver. Rating: Excellent
Garden of Beasts by Jeffery Deaver Rating: Excellent
The Collectors by David Baldacci Rating: Very good
Risk by Dick Francis (re) Rating: Excellent
