The other of the two Torchwood audiobooks released last month, written by the reliable James Goss and read by the excellent Kai Owen. It’s a decent enough urban fantasy/horror tale, set in what is effectively a haunted department store, featuring also a rival capitalist version of Torchwood called Firestone. I was not as blown away by it as I was by the companion story Ghost Train, but it’s an honourable addition to the Torchwood range.

Of those you haven’t read, I’ve read only the last two, The Name of the Wind and The Lies of Locke Lamora. I would highly recommend both – great world-building, fast-paced plots and good characters, with unresolved mysteries to keep narrative tension – unless, that is, A Song of Ice and Fire has made you disinclined to start reading series which the writer hasn’t yet finished writing, and where the release date of the next book is uncertain.
