SLEEP C.L. TAYLOR ***** After a serious car crash Anna is struggling to sleep; she feels guilty and paranoid that someone is after her for what she has done. She moves to the remote island of Rum to make a fresh start and forget all of her troubles – but have they followed her there? I really enjoyed The Fear by CL Taylor last year and was very excited about her latest offering – Sleep. I certainly was not disappointed! Sleep is a great Thriller which, ironically enough keeps

MY NAME IS ANNA LIZZY BARBER ** Anna lives in a strictly religious household and loves her mamma, but after her 18th birthday she starts to have some memories she can’t quite place – is everything really as it seems? I found My Name is Anna to be a very frustrating read, it’s an interesting concept and actually a quite a good story but the entire progression of the plot could be guessed before you even pick up the book! The blurb gives enough away that when the reveal comes a

THE SEVEN DEATHS OF EVELYN HARDCASTLE STUART TURTON ***** ‘For once, it would be refreshing to find somebody in this place who was exactly what they appeared to be’. Solving a murder is hard enough but Aiden is given an almost impossible task – to solve a murder in 8 days whilst waking up in the body of a different witness every day. Can he break the loop?

PERFECT SILENCE HELEN FIELDS ***** A young woman turns up dead on a country road – flesh cut from her back and front in the outline of a doll. But when the doll appears in another missing persons possessions can DI Callanach and his team stop the killer before they strike again? Perfect Silence is the 4th book in the ‘DI Callanach’ series and there were some really great and established characters; I hadn’t read any of the previous books in the series but I didn’t feel like t

DO NOT DISTURB CLAIRE DOUGLAS ***** After a rough year Kirsty, Adrian and their two children Evie and Amelia move to the countryside to set up a B&B, but when their first guests are closer to home than expected, who can they really trust? The narrative of Do Not Disturb is compelling and kept me interested throughout. It’s a nice mix of flashback background on characters and events, action packed present day events and foreboding premonitions. There are even parts of it that

JAR OF HEARTS JENNIFER HILLIER ***** When Geo was 16 her best friend disappeared, 14 years later the past is coming back to haunt her – who will be next? Jar of Hearts focuses on main character Geo who is a hard-edged, successful business woman with a secret who is well used to lying to get what she wants. Against the odds I actually quite liked Geo as a character, she had a lot of depth to her and kept a lot of details to herself, without giving everything away even to the r
