Prolific reader, enthusiastic theatre and movie-goer and ex-Olivier Awards judge who spent twenty years working in the music industry in London. I love sharing my favourite books with friends - nearly always spoiler-free as I hate reading a synopsis of the whole book in other reviews.

Book Review: The Family Upstairs – Lisa Jewell ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’m really lucky in that I often get sent books to review several months before their publication date. I’m usually pretty good and add them to my reading schedule and plan to read them just before the launch date. When The Family Upstairs arrived on my kindle three months early I managed to restrain myself…
Book Review: Beneath the Surface – Fiona Neill ⭐️⭐️⭐️
In Beneath the Surface Fiona Neill really doesn’t do much for Fenland tourism. It is grey and damp and very still. The Vermuyden family have been forced to move out of their beautiful flat in the middle of Cambridge because of some poor financial decisions by Patrick. Their new home is on a brand new…
Book Review: The Wives – Lauren Weisberger ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
You may remember Lauren Weisberger for her hit novel The Devil Wears Prada. Her iconic anti-heroine Miranda Priestly became world famous after it was turned into a movie in 2006. This is the third book in the series but can be read as a standalone novel. I do recommend seeking out the other books though…
Book Review:One Summer in Santorini – Sandy Barker ⭐️⭐️⭐️
It is that time of year when thoughts turn to the perfect sunbed by a pool or failing that a nice comfy deckchair in a sunny park or garden. It is summer-time and as we slap on the factor 30 sun cream we can dream about an idyllic sunshine holiday in the mediterranean or something…
Book Review: The Silver Mark – Sarah Painter ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Book two in Painter’s Crow Investigations series sees Lydia Crow picking up where we left off at the end of The Night Raven. Living above her uncle’s cafe in London, Lydia is desperately trying to forge her own path with her fledgling private investigations firm. Largely spying on cheating spouses it isn’t exactly the kind…
Book Review: You, Me and the Movies – Fiona Collins ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’ve always been a bit sniffy about picking up a Fiona Collins book. The covers all look so twee and pink and girly – the worst kind of chick lit! – that I’ve never actually read one until now. When I read the synopsis of this book the cover hadn’t been finalised and I was…
Book Review: The Last Widow – Karin Slaughter ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
After a few standalone stories from Slaughter it is great to get back to the world of the GBI and the ninth Will Trent book. It many ways this feels much more like early Will as he is left foundering without a safety net and suddenly finds himself without Sara. The book begins with the…
Book Review: The Family – P R Black ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
When I was invited to close out the Blog tour for The Family I had to admit that it had been so long since I had read the synopsis for the book that I had forgotten what had attracted me to it in the first place! As I delved into its pages I was half…
Book Review: The Reckoning – Yrsa Sigurdardottir ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Book two in the Children’s House series sees Icelandic author Yrsa Sigurardottir at her chilling best. Not for the faint hearted, this is Scandi Noir at its finest. When a time capsule is dug up at a local school after ten years it contains a very creepy note written by a 13 year old predicting…
Book Review: I Know Who You Are – Alice Feeney ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Alice Feeney is on a bit of a roll. Her first book Sometimes I Lie was a huge hit worldwide and is being made into a Warner Bros TV Series starring Sarah Michelle Gellar. It must have made it quite the challenge to come up with a story that could compete on that level but…
Book Review: The Mister – E L James ⭐️⭐️⭐️
When I was young we used to go and visit my grandmother. If it coincided with a visit from my cousins it used to be great fun. On dark wet winter days not so much. My grandmother was an avid reader though and one wall of her bedroom had books stacked from floor to ceiling….
