The Holiday

This British writer is fabulous. As an expat, I love him. My cousin in the IOM introduced him to me.

I enjoyed it It felt repetitive in the beginning but I thoroughly enjoyed it and was satisfied with the conclusion. I would've like to learn more about some of the characters lives and emotions after the aftermath.

WOW!!! Another good read by TM Logan!! I couldn't put the book down because it kept me wanting to know more. I recommend reading the book.

Right from the start this friends-on-holiday story made me feel claustrophobic, even though they're in a beautiful villa in France. It's a bit too drawn out although it kept me reading, so that's a big point in its favour! The tale is full of twists, turns and misunderstandings, and there is the undercurrent of the British stiff-upper-lip. Instead of speaking their minds and asking questions, there's a lot of guesswork going on, the wondering, the wrong conclusions. Sometimes you want to shake the main character so she will simply confront her friends openly. I did not warm to any character, and the 10 year old boy acts like a 5 year old. Nevertheless, once you get into the story you really do want to know what is going to happen.

I don't read fiction. Once a year, however, my Mika buys me a book from the Christmas grotto. She knows that daddy reads non-fiction, she tells the teachers as much, and they give her a fiction book anyway. So once a year I do read fiction, and it's invariably one of those books you pick up at the airport ahead of a holiday, for when you have no access to data. This one, in particular, is about a holiday. Refreshingly, I had the wrong murderer, all the way. So there's a twist in my story too, not just in the book: for once, if perhaps only in retrospect, I enjoyed this.

Now looking forward to reading the other book by t m Logan. Could not put down this book once I started

This book I couldn’t put down. TM Logan writes wonderful books. Hope he writes more soon.

A very poor storyline with characters that were difficult to warm to.
