Publication is on 22 June, 2018 and you'll find the pre-order link at the end of the review. This is a heavy suburban noir, with many twists and turns and an abundance of secrets!

Blog Tour Review – Thirteen by Steve Cavanagh
This was my first introduction to legal eagle Eddie Flynn, as I hadn't read the books that came before this one (this works well as a standalone). I'll gladly hunt down those books though! So ... Eddie Flynn ... rather an unconventional and unexpected hero to be honest! From the outset I wasn't quite sure... Continue Reading →
BLOG TOUR – The Craftsman by Sharon Bolton
I’ve been waiting and waiting to share this cracker of a book with everyone … and finally it’s my turn!! A new week, and my turn on the Blog Tour for The Craftsman by Sharon Bolton! Thank you so, so much to Tracy Fenton from THE Book Club and Compulsive Readers, and to Trapeze Books... Continue Reading →
*** NEW *** NEW *** NEW *** From now on, in every book review, I will include the one single idea that stood out the most for me in that book. Every book has one. I’d love it if you shared yours with me from the same book. I loved this while I was reading... Continue Reading →
BOOK REVIEW – Mother By S.E. Lynes
Christopher Harris has always been somewhat of a misfit. He’s just never really felt part of anything, especially not his family – and that was even long before his 2 siblings arrived. He just doesn’t know how to ‘be’; doesn’t ever feel comfortable with himself, or with anyone else. Discovering he’s adopted does go a... Continue Reading →
BOOK REVIEW – The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena
I loved this fast-paced, breathtaking psychological thriller! This is one of those 'just one more chapter' books, and before you know it, it's 2:00 am! Marco and Anne are invited to their neighbours for dinner. Sounds non-threatening enough doesn't it? But Anne's not too sure. Manipulative Cynthia has made it quite clear that the baby...

BOOK REVIEW – Did You See Melody by Sophie Hannah
So disappointing! The plot sounded so promising, but ended up being boring and dragged out with characters who were so unlikeable I hardly cared what happened to them by the time I skimmed my way to the end. To use a phrase coined by someone I once knew: "one, two, skip a few ..." So... Continue Reading →
I’m thrilled, honoured and most privileged to be here on Day 2 of the Blog Tour of The Good Samaritan by John Marrs. Thanks have to go to Tracy Fenton of THE Book Club, not only for inviting me, but also for creating a truly amazing online haven and marvellous home from home for... Continue Reading →
BOOK REVIEW – Then She Was Gone by Lisa Jewell
Utterly riveting! I couldn’t put this one down. 15-year-old Ellie Mack disappears without a trace one day. She’s the centre of her mom Laurel’s world, and her family can’t believe that this beautiful, young ‘golden’ girl (as she’s described) would leave home of her own accord as the police would have them think. But there’s... Continue Reading →
BOOK REVIEW – SPIRE by Fiona Snyckers
Imagine being in one of the most remote places on the planet … alone … but inexplicably, not alone, which is somehow worse! That’s what Fiona Snyckers presents us with in SPIRE, set in the South Pole International Research Establishment. Dr Caroline Burchell has been selected as part of a team to ‘Winter over’ at...
