The Perfect Lie by Jo Spain | Book Review
The Perfect Lie started off with a bang. Holy hell, I quite frankly had to put my kindle down for about ten minutes so I could catch my breath. Its been a long time since an opening chapter has absolutely blew my mind. I love impactful openings, and this really did kick it up a notch. Erin moved to the US from Ireland after the death of her sister. She didn’t expect to fall in love with her perfect match, Danny. They marry and everything is fairytale perfect until that fateful day that she won’t ever forget. Danny is a detective in Homicide in New York City. He’s been working…

The Liar’s Daughter by Rona Halsall | Book Review
Well holy moly was this a ride and a half. The Liar’s Daughter was as I expected, swift and nerve splitting. Rona Halsall’s novels always get my heart racing, and her new release undoubtedly would be no different. A prologue that had me sweating bullets and asking questions without coming up for air. Paramedics arrive at a remote farm in North Wales, the women they attend to has had a severe knock to the head and is only just conscious. Its an injury that they doubt she has done to herself but she’s insistent. The only thing is, why can they hear someone else in the house? The title and…

The Dinner Guest was one novel that I gobbled up, in one serving! Just when you think you’ve read all there is in the thriller genre along comes this beauty and smacks you upside the head.

If you think you have this one figured out be prepared for a grenade to literally blow your face to shreds. Walter lies in wait for the perfect moment then hits you straight between the eyes for a killer blow. Set in the super rich areas of London. It sets the scene. Things are about to be rocked to its…

All The Little Things by Sarah Lawton | Blog Tour Review
All The Little Things is just my kind of read…messed up, screwed up and slowly, slowly injecting the creeping dread into my brain until it develops into an itch I just can’t reach. When you have read as much crime fiction as I have over the last few years it really takes something to kick you on the arse, to make you pay attention. All The Little Things did just that. It had the added element, a calling card left in a deserted room. It left clues for me to discover, to strip layer after layer until I had been exposed to its dark secrets. The writing style, the narrative,…

The Wife by Shalini Boland | Book Review
The Wife was typical of the genre. It was set up with an ambiguous event that would implicate the characters and future events. We were given loaded dialogue, a perfect husband and family but something missing, there’s always something missing. The prologue sets the tone; apparently everyone knows that the events don’t add up, but the protagonist, Zoe, is just living in blissful ignorance. I didn’t enjoy this one as much as the last Shalini novel I read, but that’s not to say this isn’t a good book, I did want to race through the chapters but, the believability was niggling in the back of my mind. The Wife examines…
