All the way through this book, the mantra 'What a tangled web we weave ..." kept repeating itself on a loop, in my head! And this is a tremendously tangled web! The book opens with a letter being written by Heather, to her older sister Rosie. She never intends to send this letter. It's meant... Continue Reading →
What would you do if someone turned up on your doorstep and announced that she thinks she's your daughter? That's what happens to Chris and Rose. They've had a solid marriage for 20 years (they've been planning a celebration party with family and friends for their anniversary), and they live a fairly uneventful, secure life...

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 →
Although this is is the second in a series featuring DC Cat Kinsella, and it's recommended that the first book, Sweet Little Lies, be read first, Stone Cold Heart can easily be read as a standalone as the reader is provided with enough background information. The book starts off with Joseph Madden, Cat's barista seemingly... Continue Reading →

Annabelle - married to Greg, 11-year-old son Oliver, 8-year-old daughter Nell... Continue Reading →
What lengths would you go to to protect your deepest, darkest secret? Well, I don't have a deep, dark secret, so I'm really not sure what I'd do to ensure that people don't find out about it, but Rebecca Bradley has created a cast of characters who have a lot to hide. She's also produced... Continue Reading →
Although this is the fourth in a series of books featuring DI Nathan Cody, having not read the first three books, I feel that this worked well as a standalone. Jackson gives enough background information for readers who haven't read previous books to know what's going on, so you don't feel left in the dark.... 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 →
