As posted elsewhere....
A belated Happy New Year and a big thank you for all the visitors to
Euro Crime in its various guises. On the blog, the reviewers are
currently sharing their favourite reads of 2014
(http://eurocrime.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/favourite%20reads%202014)
and I'll shortly be announcing the overall favourites. The 'new
discoveries' posts, which I normally release before Christmas will
follow soon - delayed due to illness before and during Christmas.
Without further ado, here are nine reviews which have been added to the
Euro Crime website today, two have appeared on the blog since last time,
and seven are completely new.
NB. You can keep up to date with Euro Crime by following the blog and/or

New Reviews
Neil Broadfoot's 'Falling Fast' is one of Amanda Gillies's top 5 reads
of 2014; set in Edinburgh it introduces journalist, Doug McGregor;
Michelle Peckham put Paula Hawkins's debut 'The Girl on the Train' on
her top 5 reads of 2014. Lots of 'Gone Girl'-type buzz about this one;
Terry Halligan reviews John Lawton's 'Sweet Sunday' which gets a welcome
reissue and is set in the US mainly in 1969.
I review Henning Mankell's 'An Event in Autumn' tr. Laurie Thompson, a
Wallander novella written for the Dutch market around ten years ago and
now available in English;
Terry included Martin O'Brien's 'Knife Gun Poison Bomb' in his top reads
of 2014. This is the eighth in the Chief Inspector Daniel Jacquot series
set in Marseilles and at the moment is (I believe) only available for
Kindle;
Laura Root reviews Leif GW Persson's 'Falling Freely, As If In a Dream'
tr. Paul Norlen, the final part of the "Story of a Crime" trilogy,
investigating the murder of Olaf Palme;
Lynn Harvey's top 5 reads of 2014 included Anthony Quinn's
'Disappeared', the first in the Police Inspector Celcius Daly series set
in Northern Ireland;
Terry also included David Thomas's 'Ostland' in his top reads of 2014,
the story of SS officer Georg Heuser's journey from policeman to criminal
and Amanda also reviews Lee Weeks's 'Frozen Grave', the third in the
series featuring DI Dan Carter and DC Ebony Willis.
