The Laughing Policeman - post I

If you are on holiday then one of the types of books that is going to appeal is a cracking thriller. This book, the fourth in nthe Martin Beck series of ten novels, gets going instantly and with a bus crashing full of dead bodies, including one of Beck's best friends you are gripped by page 20.

This is maybe not everyone's idea of a good poolside read but at least when you put it down your head is racing with questions and you know that it will be straight back into it even after a break of a day or two.

More to come...
