Bone and Cane 30 April 2011
Format:Paperback
Bone and Cane is a book that's hard to put down, seconds after wanting to turn the light out and go to sleep, I'd find myself picking it up again. I became involved with the characters because they felt totally real, they weren't the usual card board cut-outs you get in in so many popular 'entertainment' style crime books. Nick Cane is someone I feel I've known and might well have even gone out with...(!) Sarah Bone is that girl I knew from uni in Nottingham. Bone and Cane is very different to most other crime novels as the story feels gritty and realistic, totally believable. It could well have happened, there are no phony scenarios and the characters portray, good and bad, real people. As a Nottingham dweller it's great to follow the characters around familiar places in Nottingham, but even people who aren't from the East Midlands could easily identify with the novel. I'm glad it's not based in London initially, it's good to have a book set in a real place and in what feels like real time. I could see Bone and Cane being turned into a decent crime series on television...in fact I hope it is...looking forward to reading the sequel...

Thrilling Read! 19 Mar 2011
Format:Paperback
Really enjoyed this well-paced novel set in Nottingham and around political events unfolding in the late nineties. A local Labour MP, Sarah Bone, is instrumental in the release of Ed Clark, a man imprisoned for a double murder. His release is received with mixed reactions and Bone finds herself struggling to sustain her political seat and deal with various, often dangerous, confrontations, on a number of fronts. Bone begins to seriously doubt Ed's innocence. On top of it all, an old flame from her past resurfaces after a long and mysterious absence.

The main characters, Sarah Bone and Nick Cane are very believable and I learned a lot about local election campaigns through the storyline without realising it until I'd finished the book - the mark of a good storyteller. Living in Nottingham myself I enjoyed the references to the city locations, it made the read very authentic. Belbin skilfully crafts the characters so they soon become well-rounded and believable and we start to care what happens to them. The tension builds throughout on several levels, culminating in a satisfying, although not altogether unexpected, ending. Would definitely read a sequel to this book.

Worst book I have read in 10 years
I can not remember reading a worse book. Some of the stories my primary school children bring home have more literary worth than this drivel.

a time and place trip mystery novel
One of the many pleasures of reading crime fiction is the sense of place they often contain: this one also has a strong sense of time. Read more

Absolute drivel
As has been noted in other reviews previously, this a book so blatantly biased against the conservative party that it would be too left wing even for Labour to use as propaganda. Read more

Not really a crime novel
I read this for a Book Club but wouldn't have read it otherwise. It isn't really a crime novel because too much time is taken up with boring election stuff. Read more

Power, in my experience, is largely an illusion. While you have it, youre most conscious of what you lack, and of how little you can affect the things that matter to you. Only when its gone do you realize what you had. &quote;
