Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “One good turn might cost his life…” Linwood Barclay is a name all thriller lovers will know, but believe it or not, this is my first ever book by this author! And to be honest, I’m not sure what has kept me from reading his books all this time, because this one was…

Dead Behind The Eyes – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Nothing and nobody were what they seemed in this investigation; everyone was wearing a mask, including, he realised, himself.” I think I need to go for a lie down after this! I really enjoyed this mystery – Matthieu Lombard is one hell of a main character and probably one of the strongest…
If You Didn’t Kill Her – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “She’s waited years to uncover the truth. But will the real murderer find her first – and silence her forever?” Gosh. I felt like I was holding my breath throughout the entirety of this book. I am exhausted! What a stunningly written thriller to really get your teeth into! I feel like…
Silent Waters – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Even good people do bad things…” I’ve followed Liv for what seems like forever, so why the hell am I only just reading her books?! I don’t have an answer to that other than because I am so very stupid, but I’ve just found one of my favourite books of the year…
Then Things Went Dark – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ “How do you kill someone on live television and get away with it?” I’ve seen another book by Bea Fitzgerald everywhere recently (and SO many people love it) so really wanted to love this; her adult crime debut. I loved the idea of it and I was left guessing right until the…
The Retreat – Book Review
Overall thoughts: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Most are here to recharge and refresh. But someone’s here for revenge…” You know that feeling when you love a book so much that you just want to savour every single moment of it, and it takes you much longer than you thought it would to read because you simply don’t want…
The Examiner – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Six students. One murder. Your time starts now…” Ooofft. This was exquisite! And mind-boggling. And just really masterfully plotted. A work of art, if I may! Being all about a brand new Multimedia Art course at Royal Hastings University, it only seems right to say so about this book. Shady characters, truly…
Section Roads – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Murder is an easy thing to hide along old country section roads.” My first read from Mike Murphey was a hit; a solid blend of mystery meets romance meets crime thriller, with a brilliant cast of characters and a plot to keep you guessing. I love finding hidden gems like this and…
After The Storm – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Two children went into the sea. Only one came out alive.” Oh my god. Wow. Wow wow wow wow wow. I’ve read one same comment in loads of other reviews for this book, but I’m going to repeat it anyway because it’s the truth. How on EARTH is this book a debut?!…
The Intruders – Book Review
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “They were told to leave. They should have listened.” This book!! Why is it that books I’ve been meaning to read for MONTHS end up being some of my absolute favourites and I wish I’d read them sooner?! I honestly feel like I’ll have to split myself into four to get through…
