    Review| The House On The Lake by Nuala Ellwood

    June 13, 2020 /

    The House On The Lake.  The synopsis, the atmosphere, the struggle.  It held such incredible promise.  A woman, Lisa is on the run from her husband, Mark.  A woman and her three-year-old son, Joe.  An impossible situation that finally breaks the woman – it gives her the edge and the courage to leave.  She essentially kidnaps her son and goes on the run, a plan loosely concocted.  She must make it to her friends Yorkshire cottage.  A cottage on the lake.  Rowan Isle House.  A story told in dual timeframes.  The plan didn’t account for how dilapidated the house would be.  It’s no place for a frightened woman…no place for…

    Fifty-Fifty By Steve Cavanagh|Review

    June 10, 2020 /

    You don’t review books long before you come across the name Steve Cavanagh.  The name is synonymous with the Thriller genre and if you haven’t read anything penned by this ingenious man, then why not? Fifty-Fifty is his new offering. Fifty-Fifty is a blast to the genitals.  Its swift, precise and you are left reeling on the floor.   I am obsessed with courtroom dramas.  This began when I was a member of a Jury – the atmosphere, the tension and the responsibility emits a fizzing spark within me.  Watching and waiting to see just how it is going to pan out.  Sisters.  Surely, they are united in shared family experiences? …

    Domestic Thriller

    Review: The Fallout by Rebecca Thornton

    March 7, 2020 /

    What would you do if your five-year-old son fell and got injured on your watch.  Your best friend tells you they checked on him before the accident happens.  He was safe and happy.  You would trust that, wouldn’t you?  The Fallout examines the chain of events this accident triggers; they are catastrophic, and no one’s lives will ever be the same again.  Friendships should be filled with trust and compassion to what ends will the threads that hold them together snap.  The Fallout examines the confines and limits of friendships and the parenting circles of school age children.  The two-faced sides of mothers that spend all their time professing kindness…

    Blog Tour: Little White Lies by Philippa East

    February 4, 2020 /

    It’s a known fact that I love Crime Fiction and I have found myself searching for an added element, something that speaks to me, is a calling card left in a deserted room.  It leaves clues for me to discover, to strip layer after layer back until I have been exposed to the dark secrets.  This is what you can expect from Little White Lies.  The writing style, the thrilling voice – this book gives me the Psychological Thriller Fuzies!  Little White Lies will creep up on you, catch you off guard and kick your heart into a galloping crescendo.  You know when an opening chapter lays the foundations to…

    Book Review: The Home by Sarah Stovell

    January 17, 2020 /

    A poignant and a slash to the chest kind of read.  In order to love a book, you need to find something that speaks to you.  It needs to draw out connections.  It simply knows how you tick.  The Home had this in spades.  The talent coming to life in these pages are like liquid gold – valuable and rare.  It has the addictive pull that ties you down and stops you doing your chores.  The only thing The Home does is take you hostage and holds you to ransom until you have read the final word of the final page. This book has everything you need to hold your…

    A Dark Matter by Doug Johnstone

    January 7, 2020 /

    The dark sense of Scottish humour has never been utilised to its full potential.  Until now.  A Dark Matter is a multi-layered double entendre that is pushing itself to the surface.  It capitulates the dreich weather, the wounds that get hidden by alcohol but it’s all held up by the innate will of three immensely strong female characters.  They are determined.  They are strong and above all…no-one should try to fuck them over!  Orenda Books is my go-to publisher for crime fiction and when you find an author that drips in his skill for getting the average scots character down, you know you’re onto a winner.  We have a trio…
