I picked up The Catch because my parents asked if I’d drive them down to Southampton for a cruise they were going on and I knew I’d need an audiobook to listen to on the way back. The day before I saw The Catch was in my audible library and […]

The Girl Before by J.P. Delaney book review
When The Girl Before was the only option for me to listen to on my audiobook I wasn’t quite expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. It’s a story filled with intrigue and mystery that keeps you guessing right up until the last few pages. But the characters […]
The Couple at No. 9 by Claire Douglas book review
I was kindly bought The Couple at No. 9 by my partner for Valentine’s Day. Nothing saying romance like a selection of books, hey? Anyway, The Couple at No. 9 received a lot of comments when I posted the original image to my Instagram story so I was keen to […]
Book review of 1979 by Val McDermid
I’ve heard quite a bit about Val McDermid so when I saw her latest novel on offer in my local supermarket, it was a bit of a no brainer. I’ve heard Val McDermid as one of the best writers of her generation and certainly a leader in the crime genre. […]
Book review of The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley
I’ve been a big fan of Lucy Foley’s last two books – they brought with them a perfect sense of progression and intrigue throughout the book that kept you on tenterhooks throughout. However, The Paris Apartment fails on these two fronts and really didn’t interest me. Please note that this […]
Book Review of The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley
The Hunting Party was arguably Lucy Foley’s first big hit. In it, she harkens to the many tropes of some great horror films we’ve seen throughout cinema history: a group of friends go on holiday to a remote place and then a murder takes place and they’re all stuck there, […]
Book Review of The Night She Disappeared
The Night She Disappeared is Lisa Jewell’s latest book, having come out in the middle of last year. It focuses on the night a mother’s daughter disappears (shock) and the resulting search her mother and a lady who also gets involved partake in. Please note that this article contains affiliate […]
Book Review of The Sanatorium by Sarah Pearse
I’m not going to lie – I picked up The Sanatorium because of its incredible cover and then read the blurb and knew it would be right up my street. They say don’t judge a book by its cover but I feel the publishers have done a fantastic job of […]
Book Review of The Appeal by Janice Hallett
I picked up The Appeal after randomly finding it during my search for books on Amazon. The concept gripped me – a book written in the form of messages, emails and texts where you could work out who the killer was as the evidence was presented. It is done brilliantly […]
Book Review of Girl A by Abigail Dean
How many of my reviews start “I bought this because I saw it online”? Well, Girl A by Abigail Dean is another example of that. I’d seen it feature on a lot of people’s Instagram feeds as a book you must read. It’s a dark and mature story that’s well […]
