Badger Jul 2020 10:56pm, 26 Jul 2020 12,581 posts	0 Badger I clicked on it just to see exactly how long ago I'd bought it (5 years)
mr d Jul 2020 9:51pm, 28 Jul 2020 3,692 posts	0 mr d Back to RSs post, I finished Song of Stone, but didn't feel better for it. Wasp Factory was great, The Business was ok, same for The Bridge. Didn't like Walking on Glass. After The Business I gave up on non M books.
Badger Jul 2020 10:40pm, 28 Jul 2020 12,588 posts	0 Badger I reread The Business recently. It was fine, but not a patch on Crow Road, and Complicity is better as well, I reckon, so I think you might be missing out on some of the better ones, mr d.

WA Jul 2020 11:22pm, 28 Jul 2020 7,264 posts	0 WA That's interesting Badger- The Business was the first IB novel I read and I loved it (that little netsuke figure captured my imagination) After that I read quite a few, and particularly enjoyed The Quarry (if enjoyed is the right word). Not read Complicity or Crow Road Thx gor the recs
Northern Exile Jul 2020 11:27pm, 28 Jul 2020 6,660 posts	0 Northern Exile The Crow Road will always be my favourite. The TV drama was excellent too, I may have to watch it again now I've been prompted 🙂
mrs shanksi Jul 2020 7:51am, 29 Jul 2020 11,051 posts	0 mrs shanksi The Crow Road and Complicity are my favourite of the non Ms, I recommend them too. WA my husband and I were just talking about the netsuke figure the other day! Funny how things stick in your head. It was the first place I ever read about them as a concept.
