A few years ago, before I started this blog, I read Jane Harris's great debut novel The Observations and loved every minute of it. So you can imagine how pleased I was when I got a copy of her much awaited second book from the publisher. So pleased indeed that I plunged in almost at once. Sadly, though, it's not going to be published until 5 May so, even though you can pre-order it now, I'm not going to post my review for a couple of months. What I can tell you now, though, is that it is an absolute cracker and I was awake for long hours in the night racing to the end of it. I'm longing to tell you about it, and also to talk to someone else who's read it, as it's going to be very difficult to write about it without revealing all kinds of developments which I'd rather you discovered for yourself. Lovely stuff.
