Welcome to the first in my monthly(ish) thoughts on the books I’ve read lately and would recommend – some recently published, others less so. These days I’m reading lots of psychological suspense along with a generous dash of crime, ‘book club’ and literary fiction. Everything is Lies by Helen Callaghan Published February 2018 by Penguin … More This month I’m reading…
To coincide with the launch of her book The Paradise Trees, my guest this week is author Linda Huber. Since reading Linda’s responses to my questions, I confess to having had a burning desire to buy a house (or a rundown cottage or cabin, more realistically) beside a remote and beautiful lake… How did … More Q & A with Linda Huber
This will be my second blog post in one day – unheard of for me 🙂 But I wanted to share my news right away here. Yesterday was rather special to say the least. After some hectic hours of pondering translation rights and so forth and a flurry of emails (I am not the best … More So dreams do come true after all! #FridayFeeling
For my sins I have the Friday the 13th (morning) slot of the Seas Of Snow blog tour, which celebrates the paperback release of the debut novel by Kerensa Jennings. So here’s my review of this startling, beautifully written and hard-to-categorise novel. This review was first on my blog on 18 April 2017. In the interests … More #BlogTour #BookReview #SeasOfSnow by @zinca #paperback #launch @unbounders
I don’t often cry when reading but close to the end of SAL I couldn’t stop the tears. This a stand-out novel that I plucked on a whim from Netgalley (my thanks to the publisher, Canongate). Mick Kitson’s debut novel, (published in March in hardback) is literary fiction with an element of crime fiction – … More Review: SAL by Mick Kitson
Today’s guest author, Patricia Leslie, was inspired by an unsolved real-life mystery – the origin of the huge fire which destroyed an impressive and important building in 19th century Sydney, Australia. Here’s the intriguing story of how Ms Leslie’s second novel Keeper of the Way (Crossing The Line, book one) came into being. It’s due … More Garden Palace: Turning historical mystery into urban fantasy via @PatriciaLeslieA
Good Me, Bad Me by debut author Ali Land has had such a lot of attention since it was published last year that I couldn’t resist checking it out. I’m totally glad I did as I was riveted from the start. This is the most powerful, cleverly written book I’ve read in a while … More Review of Good Me, Bad Me by Ali Land #bookreview
Around this time of year, in this small, damp, dark corner of Europe (just about), the ‘Christmas spirit’ is well and truly in the air. We (Britain/England/United Kingdom) are still a Christian country at heart, dare I say. One can’t go out without a backdrop of Christmas carols and everywhere there seem to be Christian … More The Christmas Spirit
Historical fiction author Clare Harvey guests on my blog today. She discusses how she incorporated both reality and her imagination when creating a ‘real-life’ character in her latest book, The Night Raid (renowned artist Dame Laura Knight). Let’s hope Ms Harvey doesn’t hear from any disgruntled readers this time! It was a slap in the face. After dozens of four … More #guestpost by Clare Harvey: Rediscovering war artist Dame Laura Knight via @clareharveyauth
Publisher: Killer Reads (HarperCollins imprint) Author: Alex Day Date published: August 2017 Format of book read: e-book. Thanks to the publisher for my copy, via Netgalley. With each chapter of The Missing Twin I became more and more engaged, wondering what on earth was going on and just how the two protagonists might overcome their ever-worsening difficulties. The … More Review of THE MISSING TWIN by Alex Day via @alexdaywriter
