BOOK REVIEWS

Last Bookshop in London
‘Last Bookshop in London’ (2021) blends love of books with WWII
Glass Key novel
Hammett’s ‘The Glass Key’ (1931) digs into city political games
Turtles All the Way Down
Green beautifully tackles mental illness in ‘Turtles All the Way Down’ (2017, 2024)

‘Earthlings’ (2018) gives shocking insider insight into outsiders
A Princess of Mars
‘A Princess of Mars’ (1912) crumples under weight of what came later

‘Running Grave’ (2023) is Rowling’s literal cult classic
A Simple Plan book
‘A Simple Plan’ (1993, 1998) chillingly shows how easily things can spiral
The Casual Vacancy
Rowling’s stark ‘Casual Vacancy’ (2012) bridges Potter and Strike
