Book Review
I Found You – by Lisa Jewell
Book Review I’m a real fan of Lisa Jewell’s books, and this one didn’t let me down. She has a way of writing that’s easy to read, with plenty of exciting action and intriguing storylines. The book is written with short chapters and plenty of cliffhangers; I had difficulty putting the book down at times.…

A Book That Reconnects you with Humanity!
I am a little later than most to the reading party. However, I’m now making up for lost time by reading around five to six books a month at the grand old age of fifty-six. That’s not to say that I didn’t enjoy the odd book on holiday, or reading on a long-haul flight. I…

The Family Upstairs & The Family Remains by Lisa Jewell
1. The Family Upstairs – 4.5⭐️ Lisa Jewell is fast becoming one of my favourite authors of psychological thrillers! I listened to ‘The Family Upstairs’ on Audible, which was well narrated. I will, however, be buying hard copies to place on my beautiful bookshelves since these are books I would highly recommend to any thriller…

The Mid Witch – Book Review
The Mid Witch by D J Bowman-Smith. Release date – 28th August 2023. Intro Well, what can I say? This book is not a genre I would usually consider buying. Especially since I am a thriller writer and like to read as much as I can in my own genre. I would like to point…

Is There Such a Thing as a Bad Book?
Interesting question, don’t you think? I run a book club once a month. Some weeks we have very strong and varied opinions on books. The women pull no punches and often slate our chosen book saying it was ‘rubbish’, or they ‘hated’ it. Being a writer myself, I am very tolerant of books…

The Shape of Revenge – Georgia Rose.
5* Even better than the last! ` Having read ‘A Killer Strikes’ and the Grayson Trilogy, I was itching to read this book which is the second in the writer’s latest series, ‘A Shade Darker’. It didn’t disappoint. I was delighted to discover the storyline centres around ‘Sharon’ – a very memorable character from…

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
Book Review You would think at first glance of the cover, that this book is going to be a dull story listing the seven husbands and why the marriages failed. It’s not! It is so much more than that and focuses on the compelling character of Evelyn Hugo, Hollywood movie icon. The book centres around…

Should Harry ‘Spare’ us the Details?
I’ll begin by letting you know that I am neither a huge ‘royalist’ nor am I anti. I tune in when there is a royal wedding or some other royal event that monopolises the nation; I felt great sadness watching the funeral of our former Queen, and unusually proud with the ‘Britishness’ of all the…

The Perfect Wife – by J P Delaney
BOOK REVIEW I have mixed feelings on this book. It is a psychological thriller – which is my favourite genre, but also verges on sci-fi. It certainly had me turning the pages, and towards the end, I was rushing through sections to find out what was going to happen next. It has been written in…

The Dark Hours – Book Review
I have decided to write the occasional blog on books that I read. What better way to start than with a book written by my editor ‘Alison Williams’! It’s always good to check that your editor practices what she preaches, (said tongue in cheek!) I was not disappointed, it was brilliantly written and I…
