Capsule book reviews in 255 characters or fewer. A reading diary starting 1st Jan 2019 by Eamonn Griffin.
A New Orleans criminal goes on the run when he’s targeted as part of a clean-up in the aftermath of JFK’s assassination. Smart and affecting road trip/chase thriller with a romantic edge and a well-evoked time and place. Recommended.
A biography of the paedophile celebrity, balanced with the belated investigation into Savile’s crimes. Fascinating and appalling, Davies’ book is the closest we’re likely to get to unlocking Savile and understanding the cultures supporting his offending.
