Below is the result. There is a clear first winner and a tie for 2nd place. I really can't be bothered (sorry) to round everyone up for a second vote so please read the winner and then one of the others. If you only read one it should be the winner unless you really are unable to get it for some reason.

Review date and next suggestion date will be 25th February Please mark this date in your diaries to save me sending PMs.

Thanks, Ann, once again for all your hard work (Were you a sheep dog in a past existence? -with all the rounding up you have to do it would be useful!)

Would be wouldn't it? Thanks for those kind words Pammy.

I am a bit disappointed that the chosen book is only available in hardback. I like to buy the books as the library is such a hastle to get them. Actually on Amazon the book is only £5.99 so not too bad but I find hardbacks so heavy to read in bed where I do most of my reading. Also paperbacks are often available in Tesco, Asda etc. so maybe in future we could bear that in mind.

Thanks Ann

I hope that those that read Kate Mosse are not disappointed. But the other two are good reads.

Hi Ann, as I am now back in the land of the (GR) living (perseverance pays off with Support, I have found) I am planning to read and review with you again!

Mind you, the chosen books have so many reserves on them at our library that I have had to request CDs to play in the car so I shall be doing a lot of driving between now and the 25th Feb!!
