    REVIEW: Hide by Nell Pattison

    April 8, 2022 /

    Hide was a difficult book for me to rate. It didn’t work all that well for me. The cover is extremely enticing, and the plot sounded like one of my favourite thriller tropes – whiteout conditions. A lot of people think that the snow is this beautiful phenomenon that reminds them of Christmas time and sitting around an open fire. I, however, have always found it just a bit too scary. Imagine being caught in whiteout conditions, you can’t see anything, and someone or something could easily sneak up on you without your knowledge. Scary stuff! However, the plot was a bit flat for me. Imagine spending Christmas with those…

    REVIEW: The Killer in the Snow (DI James Walker #2) by Alex Pine

    March 28, 2022 /

    Very few authors can keep me engrossed in a story from the beginning, through the middle until the very end. Alex Pine has done just that with The Killer in the Snow. The cover initially pulled me in, but I stayed for the storyline. A family massacre with mother, father and daughter killed in cold blood. It initially looks like a murder-suicide but as the investigation delves deeper it’s found to have dark connotations to a similar murder/suicide on the same property twenty-four years ago. Are the two connected? Or is this a deathly case of coincidence? If you’ve been a follower of my blog for any length of time,…

    Review: Whisper Cottage by Anne Wyn Clark

    November 11, 2021 /

    Whisper Cottage is a domestic thriller about Stina and Jack, a young couple who are desperate to leave the rat race that is Birmingham.  They are both sick and tired of worrying if they leave their front door unlocked even for ten seconds they are running the risk of aggravated burglary.  They find their dream home in the Warwickshire village of Avoncote and they just know they are going to be genuinely happy here.  Newlywed and expecting their first baby together and with the addition of the two-year-old border collie, Jobie life couldn’t be better.  The only thing that niggles at Stina is the village gossip about their elderly neighbour,…

    Her Last Holiday by C.L. Taylor | Book Review

    May 2, 2021 /

    Her Last Holiday was a book I was so excited to read.  I have read a few C.L. Taylor books prior to this and I have always found her writing engaging and addictive but there was something missing from this outing.  I think it stems from the fact that any logical reader must suspend disbelief at an astronomical level.  It was a highly imaginative story that ended up just being to much for me to swallow.  I love stories that are intriguing with a mystery that allows me to join the dots, if you are like me this probably isn’t the book for you. Her Last Holiday is a story…

    The Silent Suspect by Nell Pattison | Book Review

    April 23, 2021 /

    They say fire cleanses, but fire also leaves a bottomless pit of destruction in its wake.  The Silent Suspect is the third book in the Paige Northwood series.  I’ve only read this one, but you don’t feel like you’re missing chunks of her backstory.  Its rounded up nicely and you are given snippets of her story through-out.  She’s a British Sign Language Interpreter working with profoundly death social worker, Sasha Thomas.  I really felt that the first half of the book was exceedingly slow, although there was action it was drawn out, and the investigating seemed to last an age. The social worker, Sasha Thomas, is seriously grating.  She just…

    Tick Tock by Mel Sherratt | Review

    February 12, 2021 /

    Tick Tock was everything it promised…raw, gritty, and undeniably electric.  I’ve had this book on my TBR for a while now, regrettably it has taken me a while to get around to it, but I will be continuing with this series with haste.  If you love strong independent female detectives that are served with humanistic flaws, then this is going to be right up your alley.  A story with a chilling narrative, it made me look over my shoulder constantly whilst reading it.  Mel Sherratt, has an amazing skill at drawing you in, constantly whispering closer, closer.  You keep edging closer even though you know it might mean your doom. …
