  • White Beige Minimalist Elegant Classy Book Review Blog Banner 45 - Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn
    Psychological Thriller

    Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn

    August 5, 2023 / 6 Comments

    Okay, so I really don’t understand Gillian Flynn’s hype train. I stayed away from Gone Girl because of the hype. Sharp Objects missed the mark. The narrative, the characterisation, the connotations. I just disliked the writing style. There’s something about the writing that doesn’t click for me. I appreciate the talent of the author, but it wasn’t something I’d scream about.   Oh man, so many things failed to hit the mark in Sharp Objects. The connection between self-harming and being a promiscuous loner, both bothered me. It just seemed disrespectful to me. Her mental illness seemed to be the primary focus of the story right away, it shouldn’t of…

    Nordic Noir

    The Collector by Anne Mette Hancock

    July 30, 2023 / No Comments

    The Collector is typical of the Nordic noir genre – chilling, intelligent and wholly captivating. Perfect dialogue, haunting imagery, and difficult topics. A mysterious blurb. It ticks all the crime junky boxes. It makes my heartbeat and my nerves jangle. The cover makes me imagine scenes from some of my favourite scandi dramas. All of this combines to make The Collector a must-read for anyone who loves a good mystery. It will keep you guessing until the very end. Plus, the writing is sharp and engaging. One sentence is all it took to fall into the pages of the story. The characters are so down to earth, so relatable, people…

    Mystery

    Death of a Bookseller by Alice Slater

    July 17, 2023 / No Comments

    Death of a Bookseller is something new. It has a killer premise. The story was impactful with a deep plot that evokes emotion on every page. Slater constantly stokes the flames of mystery. Well, wasn’t this one an anvil to the head? I love a fantastic crime story and Death of a Bookseller didn’t disappoint. The aura of obsession, jealousy and pain are never far from the pages. It’s like a shadow, preparing to swallow you whole, consume you as you consume it. A full circle of darkness. Okay, So Roach (real name Brogan), works in Spines, a bookstore in Walthamstow. The images my mind conjured up is nothing short…

    Psychological Thriller

    The Ugly Truth by L.C. North

    June 29, 2023 / No Comments

    The Ugly Truth is a stark examination of the obsessive culture of the British media. A powerhouse combination of compulsive drama and psychological intent. The Ugly Truth isn’t an easy book to read. No, far from it is at its core ugly. It delves into both the media and society’s obsession with the celebrity lifestyle. Only a few pages in I was reminded about the #freebritney movement and the British tabloids treatment of Princess Diana. Britney Spears relationship with the media and her subsequent relationship with her father after her very public breakdown shone through in this story and makes the reader ask all kinds of questions, not all good.…

    Make Me Clean by Tina Baker

    June 5, 2023 / 2 Comments

    Make me Clean is an escapist pleasure. This is a story that standouts in a crowded genre and has you aching to read more. If you are feeling like the thriller genre is full of the usual twists and turns, character tropes and narrative styles then please give Tina Bakers work a whirl. She proves that fiction can never be too dark or depraved. You’ll instantly fall in love with the morally grey character, Maria and still find yourself rooting for her by the end. I’ve read hundreds of psychological thrillers. Its kind of like a drug. Feeling down? Read in the genre. Feeling happy, read the genre, feeling the…

    The Lonely Lake Killings by Wes Markin

    May 18, 2023 / No Comments

    The Lonely Lake Killings is the perfect page turner. This is the kind of book that you’ll want to lock yourself away for to stop any unnecessary interruptions. Loneliness can be a silent killer. Something easily solved, it’s effects sharper than a blade. The Lonely Lake Killings is a fast-paced police procedural. After reading a large amount of them it really doesn’t take too long to decide whether that story is going to be for you. Having read Wes Markin’s work previously, I decided this was a story worth taking a chance on. Once again, Markin’s unique voice, steeped in humour and humanity had me engrossed with only a few…
