a knot garden — geoff nicholson

Richard Wis­den is a tele­vi­sion celebrity. He has his own gar­den shows and is very pop­u­lar. So why would he com­mit sui­cide in a hotel room? A ques­tion Libby Wis­den is des­per­ate to answer. In fact, she doesn’t believe he killed him self, she is con­vinced her late hus­band was mur­dered. Deter­ment and wealthy as she is, she hires dif­fer­ent peo­ple (a detec­tive, doc­tor, pho­tog­ra­pher to name a few) to fig­ure out spe­cific facts and insights con­cern­ing Richard’s death. Not an easy task, because along the way secrets, lies and unknown truths come to light and Richard’s life turns out to be as knot­ted as his gardens.

what we did on our holidays — geoff nicholson

3 stars

Eric has a great idea: going on hol­i­day with his wife and two teenage chil­dren. The chil­dren will be leav­ing the nest soon and Eric wants one last vaca­tion with all four of them together as a fam­ily. So off they go to the Trallee and car­a­van park. Eric decides to keep a jour­nal of this last trip with his whole fam­ily to keep the good mem­o­ries for future times. What Eric didn’t know was that all the things he has to write in his jour­nal aren’t happy times, but are sit­u­a­tions that go from bad to worse. And just when he thinks there isn’t any worse to come, he gets dis­ap­pointed again, because there seems to be no limit to what he has to endure. It surely turns out to be a hell of a vacation!

bedlam burning — geoff nicholson

4 stars

Mike Smith is a hand­some but rather tal­ent­less crea­ture. After his uni­ver­sity days he works at a book­store as an archivist, when a guy he knows from col­lege, Gre­gory Collins, has an announce­ment. He has writ­ten a book, but wants Mike’s photo to go on the back cover. Mike is not too enthu­si­as­tic about the idea, but after Gre­gory con­vinces Mike that it would be a good joke, he agrees. When Gre­gory is then invited to do a book read­ing and Mike has to pre­tend to be him, the ball really starts rolling. He gets the oppor­tu­nity to be assigned as a writer-in-residence in a men­tal insti­tu­tion and after dis­cussing this with Gre­gory, he accepts the posi­tion. And while being there with the strange patients and even stranger staff, the plot thick­ens and thick­ens until finally the bomb explodes.
