    Their Silent Graves by Carla Kovach | Review

    February 2, 2021 /

    Their Silent Graves is a book published by bookouture…that meant I was in!  if I had a checklist of elements that made an exceptional police procedural read then this book would have been ticked to death.  A story that has the reader on the edge of the edge of their seat and considering walking anywhere but through the woods.  If you are looking for a novel that will whittle away the hours, then you’ve come to the right place.  Their Silent Graves is the seventh book released in the DI Gina Harte series.  It’s the first one that I’ve picked up but didn’t feel that I was missing great chunks…

    Dead Air by Micheal Bradley | Review

    November 17, 2020 /

    Dead Air so much promise and yet fell flat at every turn of the page.  I was actually very excited to read this one.  A secret, revenge promised and action aplenty.  However, the reality was very much different.  The writing was ok, but I found it places it tripped itself up.  The story struggled to keep my attention but also seemed to have the power to get me extremely angry.  There was a plot development at around 40% that nearly made me give up, it’s not what I thought should happen to the character or where the natural progression of the narrative should have been.  Dead Air follows our protagonist,…

    When You See Me by Lisa Gardner|Review

    June 25, 2020 /

    When You See Me by all accounts should have been one of those really immersive police procedurals.  That my dear friends is not what I got…although it does seem that I’m in the minority with those feelings.  I was expecting a full-blown luxurious slap up meal and instead I got a shit sandwich.  I should go on record and state that I haven’t read any of Lisa Gardner’s other offerings, but this did let me down.  Elements just didn’t work for me and the first 40% of the novel about looking for bones, after bones, after bones just ended up having the opposite effect for me – monotony.  As I’m…

    Review|Where Secrets Lie (DS Karen Hart #2) By D.S. Butler

    June 2, 2020 /

    D.S. Butler is most definitely one of those authors who just command your attention.  Where Secrets Lie is a testament to her skill.  I ended up picking up this novel on a whim, and boy am I glad I did.  Her characterisation is a crescendo to the senses.  The validity, the moral dilemmas and the utter humanness leaves you in awe with the realism.  These characters could be members of your own family, work colleagues or neighbours.  My introduction to this series has left me aching for more and I’m looking forward to the next available moment I must delve into this remarkable series.  DC Karen Hart has a history. …

    Review: Snakes and Ladders by Victoria Selman

    April 5, 2020 /

    Wow…Snakes and Ladders was the dog’s testicles for sure!  Billed as psycho meets Silence of the lambs, never was I going to refuse a match up like that!  Although this book is one that you should go completely blind into.  It was very Silence of the lambs, but it far exceeded my expectations.  Do you want a book that will give you blunt force trauma by its sheer brilliant narrative and its impending threat that just constantly lurks around every corner.  If you only read one crime series this year, make it this one!  Victoria Selman translates such equivocal storytelling onto the page with such ease.  She gives the reader…

    Blog Tour: The Sleeping Season by Kelly Creighton

    March 30, 2020 /

    The Sleeping Season really breathes life into the idiom that you end up taking your work home with you.  This brand-new crime fiction series focuses on the disappearance of a 4-year-old boy, River, who has mysteriously disappeared from his bedroom despite the fact that there is no sign of any forced entry, however, his jacket also appears to be missing.  The case is wrought with missing information and hindered by the attitude of an ubiquitous mother.  Its apparent this case will test both DI Harriet Sloane and DI Diane Linsky’s skillset.  It is an emotionally draining case to work.  I was very wary of River’s mum, as a mother, her…
