Rating: - Memorable Manhattan mystery
Along with many others I have been investing in R J Ellory's back-catalogue in response to his hugely successful fifth novel A Quiet Belief in Angels. Ghostheart is his second novel, and again it is clear that he has a broad and diverse talent, because he has the unusual ability to tell a tale in a different style to all of his others whilst retaining his own indelible signature and personal identity. And this is such an intelligently written story that I felt tempted to read it all over again as ... Read More

Most of the book is well written which only makes the bad bits seem especially jarring.

Rating: - A tale of human longing and cruelty
This is a wonderful book and has literally so many ingredients (love, betrayal, stark violence, gangsterism, nazi death camps) you would be hard put to fit the story into a genre ; crime? historical saga? love story? One thing is sure, you cannot put it down. This is what the more learned amongst us call "Serious Popular Fiction", I suppose. I read about 52 books a year. My means of evaluating a books' worth is simple : I ask myself "Was it good?". Well, this one was excellent. As a fan of "serious" ... Read More

Rating: - 5 stars simply aren't enough, it's a stunning read
Literally just closed this incredible book having reached the end and had to log on & recommend it to everyone before starting it again. It will be the first time I've ever wanted to re-read a book the minute I've finished it purely to enjoy it again but from a different perspective. Like so many of my fellow reviewers, once we'd experienced one of Ellory's books we immediately wanted more. GHOSTHEART is SUPERB .. .. and I thought A Quiet Belief and Candlemoth were both brilliant .. .. how on earth does ... Read More
