Lizzie - Classic Book Club

Welcome to Classic Book Club

Hello! I am Lizzie, and my main joy in life is reading books and thinking about books! I have so many thoughts about each book I read so wanted a place to record these thoughts, and a place where others who are reading the same book as me can share their thoughts about it too. I’ve tried to write my (often lengthy!) reviews of books so it feels like I am chatting with you as we read the book together, comparing thoughts at the end of a chapter and ideas of where the plot and characters may end up, wondering why the author has written a character or scene in a particular way and what they may be subtly trying to tell us about that character or scene. So enjoy reading along with me, and please get in touch, I’d love to be able to discover more about a favourite book from your thoughts on it.

Malice Aforethought by Francis Iles

Featured Book Review

Francis Iles
Malice Aforethought

I'm aiming to work my way through the ‘four essential mystery stories’ as listed by Sinclair Lewis (the others being Bleak House by Charles Dickens, The Lodger by Marie Belloc Lowndes, and The Nine Tailors by Dorothy Sayers). The book begins very enticingly with 'It was not until several weeks after he had decided to murder his wife that Dr Bickleigh took any active steps in the matter’, oooh, that’s a dramatic opening! I can’t wait to read further! Grab your copy and let’s read it together! Read the full review
