review 1: Belinda Bauer skriver inte vanliga deckare, allt det vanliga finns men det är inte poliser och utredare man får följa utan vanliga personer. Här får man följa komapatienter på ett sjukhem och så Patrick Fort som har Aspergers. Han har inte så lätt att förstå hur man ska bete sig ...

review 1: Well, Bauer easily gets the award for Best Trilogy-That-Nobody-Knew-Was-A-Trilogy (okay, maybe SOME people knew, I sure as hell didn't - I like the way the three books were linked without being dependent on each other or being all cliff-hanger-ish). I haven't read anything by her...

review 1: I chose this book as I had read and enjoyed Rubbernecker. However I didn't find this earlier book of Bauer's to be as good or engrossing. This is the story of a boy communicating with the child killer who it is believed killed the boy's uncle as a young boy, in an attempt to find...

review 1: I thought this book was brilliant. It had everything I look for in a book, namely - tight plot, fascinating characters in a well-drawn cast, a sense of realism without the hint of soap opera and (above all) subtle, well-researched writing. It had many laugh-out-loud moments and m...

review 1: Can't understand how this book got such good reviews by everyone else. I think it was ok but not more. I thought the plot was badly thought out and the characters poorly explained. Also, the end came too quickly, i.e. all of a sudden everyone believes what Patrick says and the...

review 1: Oh what a treat. I will be seeking out this author. Plenty of interesting characters linked in obscure ways but all valid and vital. Coma guy, wild daughter, shallow nurse, opportunist husband, dead father, complex flatmates, unstable mother - all swirling around Patrick, the As...

review 1: Unputdownable book. Fascinating follow up to the authors excellent Blacklands. Howver, its not really a followup, as although it features the location and some of the characters in passing from the earlier book, it is a standalone story. The location is central to the story, as i...

review 1: Bauer’s third book featuring the villages surrounding Exmoor. Another very good and enjoyable psychological whodunit. Children are disappearing from various spots around the countryside and notes are being left that say “You Don’t Love Her” or Him or Them, as the case may be. Bau...

review 1: “I did not know this was a follow on from a previous story when I picked it but as a stand alone it looked an interesting read. The plot itself is brilliant & believable, but the actual story was long winded & the characters where very depressing & seemed to give up. The children...

review 1: This book was recommended by one of my Goodread friends and although I initially didn't like it, by the end I was hooked. This debut novel is very strong with very interesting characters. The story is dark but the dialogue between the characters is excellent especially between th...

review 1: It is difficult to give this book more than three stars. It should have been capable of more. The premise is excellent and it has the Moors as a backdrop. What else does a dark story dealing with dark subject matter need? Regrettably, the characters let it down for me. None of th...

review 1: Belinda Bauer is not new to me having read Rubberneckers and have Finders Keepers in my To Read pile. I didn't particularly like the title but that is the only negative I can come up with. The West Country setting and the descriptions of the locations through to the characters an...

review 1: Belinda Bauer is one of my favorite writers. Golly, gosh willikers can this woman write a compelling story. I was immediately engrossed in the story of Ruby, a young girl coming of age in a tough environment. Not only does the wind creak through the cracks, but so too does someth...

review 1: Another great novel by Belinda Bauer who was recommended to me by one of my Goodread friends. The second novel in this mini series and I do recommend you read them in order as they do give things away otherwise. I think the strength in her writing are the strong characters she cr...

review 1: I was delighted that the exmoor setting, and even some of the characters from BLACKLANDS reappeared in Darkside. The book did keep me reading , and Bauer's way with words is accomplished, but towards the end I really began to feel the plot had veered in a very unconvincing direc...
