2013 Books in Brief

Just finished the wonderful Hound of the Baskervilles – a favourite that I haven't revisited for quite a few years. Doctor Sleep was an interesting look at what became of poor little Danny after the Overlook hotel burnt to the ground. Mr Brigg's Hat by Kate Colquhoun was absolutely addictive. I loved it and can't stop recommending it. See my recent review post to find out why.
