UK Publishing Date: 5 Nov 2015. 352 Pages Smoke and Mirrors is a quintessentially British novel set in post World War 2 Britain. This is the second of the DI Stephens & Mephisto stories but can easily be read as a standalone novel (I did!) It is nearly Christmas and […]
UK Publication Date: 19 Nov 2015. 528 pages. The Man Who Watched Women has got a feel of Scandi-Noir about it and if you liked The Killing or the Stieg Larsson books then you will surely enjoy this, the second in the Sebastian Bergman series. I hadn’t read the first […]
UK Publication Date: 5 Nov 2015. 288 pages. I’ve never been a huge fan of Tess Gerritsen’s Rizzoli and Isles series so it was a great surprise when I found myself enjoying Playing with Fire, a standalone novel. It is a story of two violinists. One present day, living in […]
UK Publishing Date: 3 Dec 2015. 400 Pages. Holly Johnson lives in Dublin. She’s a sometime researcher for a run of the mill radio station – and controversially not the singer from Eighties band Frankie Goes to Hollywood! Life is ticking along nicely but she hasn’t met The One. Signing up […]
UK Publishing Date: 15 Oct 2015. 300 pages. The publishers blurb for this book says that it is a “gripping psychological thriller for fans of Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train” and while that might be true to an extent, I think that I actually preferred this book […]
UK Publishing Date: 2 July 2015. 256 pages. Fire Colour One is a rare book. It’s one of those Young Adult books that have the ability to touch anyone of any age that reads it. My only frustration with it was that it wasn’t long enough! Iris lives in America […]
UK Publishing Date: 13 Aug 2015. 432 pages. A beautiful book that seems to be marketed as a Young Adult story but “What Milo Saw” has a message for every age group. Milo has a degenerative sight problem (retinitis pigmentosa) so he sees very little. His tunnel vision leaves him […]
UK Publication Date: 22 Oct 2015. 270 pages. In recent years the Northern Europeans seem to have become the masters of the murder suspense genre. Authors like Jo Nesbo and Stieg Larsson have become synonymous with the dark and brooding crime fiction of Scandi Noir but you can’t rule out […]
UK Publishing Date: 17th Sept 2015. 400 pages. When I finished reading this book I jotted down a few thoughts on a page and realised that they were almost exclusively negative. So I had a quite scan over some other reviews and I was quite surprised that so many people […]
UK Publishing Date: 13 Aug 2015. 272 Pages Its probably a bit quirky but I find short stories fundamentally unfulfilling. You just start to get under the skin of a character and then the story ends. Next you are launched into a different setting and a new bunch of characters. […]
