Blood Orange was a book I picked up after asking my social followers which of the books from a selection they suggested I read alongside Malice (review for that coming soon).

It's actually been a couple of weeks since I finished The Last Thing To Burn. Usually, I review a book quite soon after I finish it. The Last Thing to Burn left an impression on me. It's a tense, dark and utterly gripping book that, despite its short length, will make you feel like you've been on a journey with the main character.

An author who rarely does sequels, the outcry for Jewell to write a follow up to The Family Upstairs was so loud that she's written one. It states at the end of the book that she was reluctant to write a sequel until one day she realised who she wanted to write the book from the viewpoint of and everything else clicked into place. Introducing The Family Remains. Please note that an ARC (advanced reader copy) of The Family Remains was kindly sent to me by the publisher in return for an honest review.

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.

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 just keep it from reaching great heights.

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 article contains affiliate links.
