Boarding House Reach

Reviews

Good follow up
A considerable change of tack for Peter Crawley's second novel and much more claustrophobic. Definitely cracked the second novel problem and demonstrated not a one trick pony. Had me in mind of Patrick Hamilton with its depiction of small desperate lives.

Do you like people watching?
Read this after enjoying Mazzeri, totally different but again loved the feeling that I recognised the area the book is set in. Brilliant character development, especially liked Stella.

An excellent read!
These characters are very real and I felt great empathy for their situations. The way the author weaves the stories together is very clever. Couldn't put it down.

His ability to build tension from the most mundane of moments in each of his wonderfully depicted characters not only draws you
A fantastically well-written schema, who's strands untangle with Peter Crawley's delightful descriptions, into a hard-hitting, and unimaginitively exciting web. His ability to build tension from the most mundane of moments in each of his wonderfully depicted characters not only draws you in, but also leaves the reader questing after the meaning associated with what the next smallest encounter might bring.

Fantastic read
The best of Peter Crawley yet! I throughly enjoyed this book and tried to read it slowly so to savour it and keep some to read! When I came to the last few chapters this became impossible because the story was too engrossing and I stayed up late to finish it! I really recommend this book, fantastic read, would make an interesting book club choice.
