SPSFC4 - Adding to my TBR (5)

 

I’m working my way steadily through the SPSFC4 entries and my TBR (To be Read) pile continues to grow. There are still an awful lot of books for me to check out. Here are the latest two to catch my eye.

Kara by Peter Beard

This had me hooked from the moment I read the blurb – probably a good example of how a good blurb should be written – but the first chapter really delivers. There’s a really solid mystery and I felt an instant connection to the main character. This is one of those rare occasions when you reach straight for the ‘buy’ button. I suspect this one is going to do well in the competition!

Above Dark Waters by Erik Kay

I do like the setting with this one, anything maritime always gets my interest. The opening is solid and the two main characters have history which adds a very human element and it will be interesting to see how this plays out as the story progresses. Lots of interesting concepts here.
