Flying off next Saturday and a search on Kindle store has me suffering information overload.

 

I'm into Zombie, Dystopian and Horror although a good Detective or Suspense novel is always a bonus.

 

A recommendation is always a good staring point, thanks in advance.

Should be Polish you're learning.

You never know, when you're in a certain taxi again...

 

:lol:

 

 

 

Aside from that. Stuart Macbride books about Logan Mcrae, set in Aberdeen.

Detective series, grim in parts, and some funny dark humour in it too.

The Lewis Triology by Peter May's good too.

 

Cheers will have a look.:)

Greg Iles; Natchez Burning and it's follow-up, The Bone Tree.

 

No probs, you're welcome. Have a nice time. ;)

Max Brooks world war z and zombie survival guide would be a shout.

The walking dead novels too.

 

Sci-fi detective by Asimov "Caves of steel"

I could have recommended a good hockey book or two for you to read...

Please continue.....

The White Cockade

The Rebus and Skinner books are all good reads

I think the Rebus books are better though

The Thorne books by Mark Billingham are good too and more gory

Also enjoy the Inspector Banks stories by Peter Robinson

Robert Goddard's books are always a good read too

I downloaded the Zomblog series after someone on here recommended it. Only 99p or even free at the time I think.

Stupid Sexy Flanders

If you're not already into Christopher Brookmyre, get into him. (Ooh-er etc..)

 

For Scottish crime novels with a bit of humour, there's none better.

There's the book about Bobblehead Bettman - The Instigator. Cracking read.

 

Fighting the Good Fight by Adam Proteau - pretty much about the debate on if fighting in hockey should be allowed.

Perhaps appeal to the detective/crime side of your tastes. I just finished 'Under and alone by William Queen'

 

It's a true story of how an undercover agent infiltrated a violent biker gang in America

 

It's easy reading and exciting. Perfect holiday reading fodder

I would echo the mentond for Rebus, Peter May and Brookmyre. 

 

I would also add the Inspector Banks books by Peter Robinson (based in Yorkshire) and the Barney Thomson by Douglas Lindsay. Barney is a barber who accidentally becomes a serial killer.

The Inspector Banks books are superb.

Non fiction but my fave holiday read is Michael Palin's Around the World in 80 Days.

 

Great TV prog but the book is even better.

 

Our hols consist of lazing by pool sides or on a beach in Spain and it's best done whilst reading about someone else having an adventure. ?

Jack Reacher series by Lee Child.

Presume you are a football fan

Best ever book written by a footballer

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Italian-Job-Gabriele-Marcotti/dp/0553817876/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1472629408&sr=1-1&keywords=vialli+football

Luca Vialli - top player - intelligent analysis ( not banal....asis)

 

So much more than an autobiography.

 

Suggest you also hunt down the Graham Hunter podcasts for that bit of the flight when you have to turn off your kindle

The Vialli ones are superb

Does he drown the serial in Milk?

Bram Stokers Dracula or Shelleys Frankenstein are both excellent.

 

Any Rebus book of course.
