Blog touring today, which I don't do so often any more, so I really enjoy it when I do! Today it's all about The Boat Trip, which published this week - congrats to author Heather Fitt! This is Heather's 3rd book (if I'm not mistaken), I'm wondering WHY I haven't read her previous books!!?? But... Continue Reading →
Happy publication day to Diana Wilkinson for 4 Riverside Close, a slow-burner that builds in tension, unease and discomfort right from the start - the start being a rather gruesome murder. Riverside Close is a small, intimate enclave of just 6 exclusive homes. Susan and Roger Harper together with the two children, are well established here,... Continue Reading →
Happy publication day to Valerie Keogh! I have no doubt that The Three Women will race up the bestseller charts! It's a completely riveting psychological thriller that once started, will have readers breathlessly enthralled until the very last page. Beth, Joanne and Megan meet at the start of their university careers and although they seem... Continue Reading →
Happy publication day to Dreda Say Mitchell for this excellent psychological thriller! I couldn't put this one down! It's a really gripping page-turner; sometimes spooky; a bit chilling; unputdownable! At the age of 18, Rachel suffered a series of shocking tragedies: her mother died; she was attacked by someone she should have been able to... Continue Reading →
Happy publication day to debut author, Fiona Woodifield! Welcome to the world of the delightful Sophie Johnson! Smart, intelligent, not bad looking, but has dismal luck with men. Also, her job description at top fashion magazine Modiste, is 'Sales Executive' but falls sadly short of the mark as all it entails is sitting on the... Continue Reading →
An absolutely brilliant, unputdownable, cracker of a read! I hate comparing books, but for me, this was slightly reminiscent of The Woman in the Window. It had the same sense of a woman being trapped both within herself and her home, by her life and circumstances and unable to move forward. Esther has suffered a... Continue Reading →
Women who aren't fit to be mothers; men who aren't fit to be husbands; girls who can't wait to be free of their roots to make lives of their own and create new futures. Unfortunately, it's not always fiction. Rosie and Ruby are cousins with equally appalling mothers. Rosie's mom care's more about appearances than... Continue Reading →
Another book set in a village (we all know how much I love those)! This time, the village of St. Agnes in Cornwall and there's a 200-year-old feud thrown into the mix, together with the expected undercurrent of menace and unease. I loved that gothic touch that was added in here, and I absolutely adored... Continue Reading →
Ooooooh ... don't you love stories set in small villages? Quirky people, suspicion lurking around every corner, dark undertones that abound in almost every interaction. J.A. Baker dishes it all up in spades, from the minute Ray, the newcomer to Whitchurch, walks into the local bar, and silence suddenly and noticeably descends on the place!... Continue Reading →
I have to admit that a few chapters in, I was ready to put this one aside. It's extremely gory, graphic and gruesome and spares no punches! But I just couldn't let it go. I didn't guess who the killer was until there was just 3% of the book left!!! Thinking back, the clues are... Continue Reading →
