I need a holiday book ...
A pacey thriller ... not too heavy ... something to dip in and out of ...
... of the Dean Koontz, Robert Goddard, sort of variety.
Any recommendations, please ?
I have about 10 books on the go at the moment, but none of them is really a "holiday" book. I want something that can live in my backpack for a week.
Heeeelp !!

One Fine Day in the Middle of the Night or Quite Ugly One Morning - Christopher Brookmyre (anything by him really is usually very funny and entertaining).
Filth - Irvin Welsh (You need a really strong stomach for this one but it is good).
Any of the Rhebus series of books by Ian Rankin are pretty good for holiday reading.
Have you read much James Patterson? People who like Koontz tend to like him too... Also pretty good holiday reads.

One Of Us by Michael Marshall Smith?
''A mesmerising thriller from a master of the genre. Hap Thompson has finally found something he can do better than anyone else. And it's legal. Almost. Hap's a REMtemp, working the night hours, having people's anxiety dreams for them. For the first time in his life, Hap's making big money, and that should have been enough. But then Hap is made an offer he just can't refuse: proxying memories instead of dreams. This is not almost illegal - this is illegal in bold with flashing lights. The last thing the cops want are criminals who can pass lie detector tests and Hap knows it, but he's relying on the promise that he won't have to carry anything that relates to a criminal offence. Big mistake. Before he knows what's happening, Hap is locked in a vicious nightmare that threatens to tear his mind and his life apart. And, as in all Michael Marshall Smith novels, that is just the start.

It's nice that you live near Daunt's, China ...
It is the best bookshop in London.
Also, it's just round the corner from La Fromagerie, the best cheese shop in London.
And near to The Marylebone pub, on the corner.
I could live near there, if I could ever tear myself away from Brighton (but that's not likely to happpen).
