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 →
This one shocks from the very beginning. It's not for the faint-hearted, so if you're not up for graphic language, descriptions of sex, and the many methods that can be used to achieve all sorts of pleasure without necessarily needing the assistance of a human partner, I'd suggest you walk swiftly past. HOWEVER ... if... Continue Reading →
It seems that this review, which was scheduled to be posted yesterday, got itself a bit lost in the cyber-wilderness somewhere!! After a bit of a panic, and some searching through my posts and blog storage, thank goodness I found it!! So here it is ... a little bit late, but nevertheless, finally here!! It's...

You know when you pick up a John Marrs book that you won't be getting much sleep! Firstly because you'll be reading way into the night, and secondly because his books are so thought-provoking (and slightly disturbing, let's not lie), that they keep you awake as your mind races with thoughts and ideas that you...

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 →

So she keeps to herself, and tries her best not to look people in the eye. But when she bumps into a high profile assistant state attorney, triggering a chain of... Continue Reading →
I love these books where the house itself is so dark and chilling that it's actually a fully-fledged character itself. Here, the house seems to brood and shift at will, taking on the moods of its inhabitants. It's very creepy and adds to the undercurrent of dread that runs through the entire book. Headstrong, independent... Continue Reading →
When Cassie Rafferty goes missing from the town of Feelham, it brings back bad memories of when Ellie Hutton disappeared ten years ago. For Danny Sheppard, the recollections that begin to resurface from all those years ago are bad enough for him to hire a private detective to find his three long-lost schoolmates who left...

School teacher Nicole Palmer is still trying to get over her husband Mason's tragic death 10 months after he was killed in a plane crash in the African country of Narumbe when she receives what can only be something from someone playing a hideous joke: a photo of Mason ... very much alive. It's impossible... Continue Reading →
I think I need to own up to more than a bit of a fangirl fascination with David Nolan (not in a crazy, stalker-ish way, you understand!). Once I'd stayed up reading Black Moss (in one sitting - it's really that good), I wanted to find out a bit more about who wrote it. I... Continue Reading →
