My Review – Angel of Death by Ben Cheetham
This was my WI Book Club this month. After A Thousand Splendid Suns I was hoped for something more my style. Angel of Death fitted the bill perfectly. It was a fast paced extremely dark crime thriller. I winced in places hoping it wouldn’t go into too much detail, and it didn’t. But it was… Continue reading My Review – Angel of Death by Ben Cheetham

Inspector Drake and his team of now familiar detectives are faced with a murder… Continue reading My Review – Looking Good Dead by Stephen Puleston

My Review – Hide and Seek by Julia Blake
I’ve read the previous five books in the series and when this one came out on the 27th March, I bought it and read it before the end of the month. As I said above, if the book has Julia’s name on the front, you know you are in for a good read. Each book… Continue reading My Review – Hide and Seek by Julia Blake

It’s the first… Continue reading My Review – Rhapsody in Black by Maria Elena Alonso-Sierra
