    Out in the Cold by Stuart Johnstone | Review

    December 20, 2020 /

    I have been so incredibly lucky as of late in my crime novels, but Out in the Cold surpassed all my expectations.  It has an original plot, intriguing main characters and a writing style that is so sharp that it threatens to slit your throat.  If I thought that it couldn’t get better than that opening chapter, I’d be sorely wrong.  Have you ever found yourself in an untenable situation at work?  Well Detective Sargent Colyear has a master’s in it.  A situation that wasn’t his doing but takes the rap for it, nonetheless. Out in the Cold (although I’m not a huge fan of comparisons) could have easily been…

    All Fall Down by M.J. Arlidge | Book Review

    December 12, 2020 /

    When I was invited to read All Fall Down a few months ago, I had no idea what I was in for.  I haven’t read Arlidge’s work before or heard of this series BUT…within a few breaths and a few pages I knew this was going to be a series that I would come to binge read.  A story with a strong female sleuth with a tattered background but always focussed on the end result.  Six hours later and I was guts deep into a compulsive story and I was 100% in.  All Fall Down is an ambitious story that fulfils on everything it promises. How on earth do you…

    Crime Thriller

    The Resident by David Jackson | Review

    December 9, 2020 /

    When I first requested an advanced readers copy of The Resident, I was very excited!  There has been so much hype on book-twitter and a lot of blogger friends loved it.  I am very weary of getting involved in hyped books because I really don’t want to be disappointed.  I expected a strong psychological thriller but boy…this beast packed a spine shattering punch!  Imagine my delight when from chapter one onwards – I knew this was going to be the kind of dark and depraved that I live for in a crime novel.  The title and that mind-blowing cover set my imagination crazy.  Imagine a serial killer actually living in…

    Whispers In The Dark by Chris McDonald | Blog Tour

    November 15, 2020 /

    If you are looking for a light-hearted read, it’s probably best to find something other than Whispers in The Dark.  If you are looking for something outstandingly dark, raw and visceral, then you have most definitely come to the right place.  A story that drips with revenge, guilt and a strong female character that isn’t afraid to go for the jugular.  The story instantly pulled me in with its dark prologue.  A pulsing beat that threatened to crack and spill its guts for the reader to witness, to experience.  It was intoxicating.  The scene is set and once again Chris McDonald nails the shocking prologues. We are reintroduced to the…

    Dead Perfect by Noelle Holten | Blog Tour

    October 17, 2020 /

    Thanks to Sarah Hardy at Books on the Brightside for a place on the blog tour and for a copy of the book. As always it’s a pleasure to be involved. Some authors just punch you right in the feels and Noelle Holton just keeps on living up to that reputation with every book she releases.  When the invitation to join the blog tour for the next DC Maggie Jamieson adverture, Dead Perfect, landed in my email inbox, there was no chance I was going to pass up on it.  Reading Dead Perfect was like meeting up with a best friend that you haven’t seen in months and it’s comforting…

    Dance With The Reaper by Wes Markin | Blog Tour

    August 5, 2020 /

    Dance With The Reaper – how many people have tried to do just that and lost?  A haunting title, a disturbing cover and a soul breaking synopsis.  Wes Markin has penned a story that can only build upon the DCI Yorke franchise.  So, who pray tell would dare dance with the Reaper?  Someone who has given up on life?  Someone that lives a life with reckless abandon?  Or is this something else entirely?  Well you’ll need to read it for yourself to find out.  I’ll let you into a little secret – I couldn’t wait to read Dance With The Reaper.  It was highly anticipated, and I so desperately wanted…
