The Illustrated Child is a story of the relationship between a father and his daughter. It isn’t always an easy one as Tobias Kemp and his nine year old daughter Romilly move into the ramshackle Braer House in a small Norfolk village. To Romilly it feels like there are ghosts […]
You can always rely on Kim to deliver a book that you don’t want to put down and Little Whispers is no different. I was reading until I couldn’t keep my eyes open any longer! Honestly these books aren’t good for my sleeping patterns! Janey Markham has had a lot […]
Choose a book by it’s cover? Hell yeah! As soon as I got sent the publicity photos for this book I just knew that I had to read it. In a kind of William Morris arts and crafts style the colours just grabbed me and insisted that i pick the […]
The Mist is the third and final book in the Hidden Iceland series. Reviews of the previous two books can be found elsewhere on my site. I’ve really enjoyed this quirky take on Icelandic police work. The Hidden Iceland series begins at the end of Hulda’s career with the police. […]
Before this year I wasn’t really a fan of historical fiction but 2019 has seen me raving over some great stories like The Familiars, The Binding and the wonderful The Silent Companions. The Corset is the latest book by Laura Purcell and if you’re looking for a traditionally gothic Victorian […]

Over the past few years Louise Jensen has become one of my favourite writers of psychological thrillers. Always uniquely British and always impossible to predict they are stories that will keep you gripped right to the very last page. Laura is struggling. Recently widowed, she is about to lose her […]
I’ve reviewed Adele Parks a few times on here before and unlike other writers she always seems to go for something a bit different. A bit quirky and unexpected. This is a story of a family, a life lived with secrets. Daisy is married to Simon. He is an unacknowledged […]
I enjoy a good psychological thriller – I read enough of them! – but there was something about The Starter Wife that didn’t really gel for me. It took me two attempts to get into the story proper and looking back I think it was because the main narrator Claire […]
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 […]
