    Psychological Thriller

    Mirrorland by Carole Johnstone | ARC Review

    December 31, 2020 /

    Mirrorland…first that cover told me about all the blows it would deliver.  It’s dark, it’s intimidating and the abyss you’re staring at?  Yeah, it’s going to pull you all the way under.  Not going to lie, I always wished I had a sister, but a twin sister? Shouldn’t that just come with a health warning, plain and simple?  Your sense of identity is shrouded around being part of a pair.  Mothers of twins the world over tend to dress them the same, do their hair the same and treat them the same.  How to you break free when your treated as half of a whole?  The first chapter of Mirrorland…

    Blog Tour: Avenge The Dead (Frank Farrell #3) by Jackie Baldwin

    February 28, 2020 /

    Avenge The Dead is an exquisite case study on how the past never truly can stay buried.  Life in the spotlight can have dire consequences.  The invisible bands that hold together relationships and families can violently tear with no means to be repaired.  The story paints a vivid picture of how an action change the landscape of one’s life forever.  This gritty police procedural ticked all the boxes.  Jackie Baldwin gently coaxed me down an unsuspecting path before setting her trap – I aimlessly walked straight into it and she wasn’t sorry a bit!  I greedily lapped it up like there were no tomorrow.  DS Mhairi MacLeod and DI Frank…

    A Dark Matter by Doug Johnstone

    January 7, 2020 /

    The dark sense of Scottish humour has never been utilised to its full potential.  Until now.  A Dark Matter is a multi-layered double entendre that is pushing itself to the surface.  It capitulates the dreich weather, the wounds that get hidden by alcohol but it’s all held up by the innate will of three immensely strong female characters.  They are determined.  They are strong and above all…no-one should try to fuck them over!  Orenda Books is my go-to publisher for crime fiction and when you find an author that drips in his skill for getting the average scots character down, you know you’re onto a winner.  We have a trio…

    6 of the Best Books set in Scotland

    August 21, 2019 /

    Scotland has seen a resurgence in tourism and literary interest due to books such as Outlander and Crime fiction novels. Scotland has a rich history in the literacy world from The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson to Irvine Welsh’s Trainspotting. Scotland can lend itself to the supernatural or those bleak moments in human existence – there are no limitations to the inspiration that can be gleamed from Scotland and its beautiful culture. Outlander by Diana Gabaldon Written in the 90’s, this franchise has been brought alive on screen and has seen an increase in tourism due to the Outlander effect. Outlander tells the…
