'A Small Death in Lisbon'

This is the first in our annual series of book recommendations by pupils who are currently reading books for their Transition Year Extended Essays.

Mark McAuley recommends Robert Wilson's A Small Death in Lisbon:-

This book not only is an excellent page turner but it also is very well written, and anyone who reads it is immediately hooked in to the crime-filled world the author creates.  My first feeling about the book was that it was going to be another boring thriller but I was astounded and proved completely wrong by the time Ihad read the second chapter. The story really grips you from start to finish. Overall I have really enjoyed this book and would recommend that everyone should read it. It's just a great read!

I would give it  8 and a half out of 10.
