This is a murder mystery. The main characters are Victor and Joan Smiley, who are
a couple who are fed up with each other. They decide to try and kill each other, but who will succeed and who will fail?
I rate The Perfect Murder very highly. It is funny and suspenseful. An element of the supernatural thrown in for good measure, it will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout the entire book. Well worth the read.
I give The Perfect Murder 4/5. It’s a great little read. Once you pick the book up, you will find it very hard to put it back down.

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
Published by Penguin. This is a science fiction book. The main characters are
Bernard Marxx,Lenina Crowne and John the Savage.
This book gives a vision of the future with the state in complete control over the people's emotions. Then John the savage arrives from the old world with human emotions of fear, hate and love.
I found this book quite scary - the thought that the state could control me from birth till death,with no free will over my destiny! John the Savage shone a bright light on their shallow lives. The state tried to civilize John away from his so- called savage way, but instead he showed the state what being civilized really means.
I would rate this book with 5 stars.

The Perfect Murder by Peter James
Published by Pan Books Quick Reads.
The Perfect Murder is a funny murder story.
The main characters are Victor Smiley and his wife, Joan.
Victor starts a plot to kill Joan, not knowing his wife is thinking the same. It is a great read - very direct with some funny twists and turns along the way.
I just wonder how many other couples are thinking the same.
