2023 - October. Silent Intruder G. Hammond

Easy to read, largish print. Good story about someone using their house while they are away, and then the bad guys coming to get the intruder and involving Michael and Hilda. Tie this up with them getting married and sisterly really bad feeling and it's an light read. 6

A:    Well I enjoyed it as a relatively uncomplicated read in one sense - but there seemed to be a whole hierarchy of villains who just became more names to remember. The made up genealogy joke played on the snobbish sister just seemed puerile and I don’t think it would make her suddenly see the light - oh am I like that, so sorry ! 

Not looking for other books by the author. 

F:    I found Silent Intruder a straightforward read with a rather unsatisfying ending. The writing style seemed quite abrupt, but maybe that's what a police action book needs? I might read the same author again to see if the style altered according to the plot, but I'm not rushing to do this! 5/10?
