Book review: Ten Seconds by Robert Gold

August 11, 20243 min read

I’d read a couple of ‘heavier’ books in a row and needed to get back to some good ol’ crime fiction, so opened my copy of Ten Seconds by Robert Gold. I’m sure I’ve also requested a print copy as it’s a series I started collecting – though I should clarify this is only the third in the series (rather than the tenth). Just to confuse readers Gold started with Twelve Secrets, before moving onto Eleven Liars. Kinda like a Twelve Days of Christmas. ‘Cept backwards. Either way I’m really enjoying this series featuring online news investigative journalist Ben Harper.

Here Ben’s still working for his quirky boss finishing up a podcast offering newly-uncovered secrets involving his family when he literally stumbles across a new mystery.

Book review: Twelve Secrets by Robert Gold

April 15, 20223 min read

Twelve Secrets by Robert Gold took me by surprise. I’d planned on allocating just a short time in the bath to read, but ended up dining on biscuits and chips because I remained in there (topping up with warm water once or twice) until I was finished.

Interestingly (or not) this is the third of fourth book I’ve read this year featuring crimes committed by juveniles…. later released and given new identities. I’m not sure if it’s suddenly topical or perhaps it’s just a sign that increased access to technology and information means that it is harder to keep things secret in the 21st century.
