Book review: A slow fire burning by Paula Hawkins
I recently read this book because they recommended it to me with my membership on audible. That's not to say I want to read it anyway, as I found the plot in the synopsis intriguing. The basic story revolves around the brutal murder of a young bloke on a houseboat and the police trying to [...]

In this book we follow around a man called Harry Dresden. What makes him stand out from everybody else? Well, he is a wizard, and he makes no secret about it. In fact, he has an advert in the papers under professional wizard, and he is the only one. He will not do parties or [...]
