I wanted to read a book based in Anglesey and knew Conrad Jones has written several. I’ve only read the first one and What Happened to Rachel? is book five. They are completely standalone, so can be read in any order. The storyline was fast paced and page turning. What started out as a missing… Continue reading My Review of Whatever Happened to Rachel by Conrad Jones.

My Review of Troubled Blood by Robert Galbraith
This is book five of the Cormoran Strike series. I’ve enjoyed them, but this is by far the biggest book I’ve ever read, I really enjoyed the story line, and the intricate details that brought it alive. The descriptions put me beside the characters and made me feel I was there too. I’ve never known… Continue reading My Review of Troubled Blood by Robert Galbraith
My Review of Blood on the Shore by Simon McCleave
This is the third book of what will be a series of four. I originally found it on the library app and the word Anglesey on the cover, grabbed my attention. The thing I really liked about Blood on the Shore is that it has two investigations. The main one, a hunt for the serial… Continue reading My Review of Blood on the Shore by Simon McCleave
My Review of Shelter in Place by Nora Roberts
My favourite author was always Nora Roberts. But since Indie books exploded onto the market ten years ago, I’ve not read her. I wanted to put that right as she’s such a great writer. I found this book on a charity table. I immediately loved the vibrant cover and it perfectly sets off the story… Continue reading My Review of Shelter in Place by Nora Roberts
Book Review of The Retreat by Phil Price
I found this on a Facebook post. Phil Price put his book details in the comments, and I thought it sounded interesting, so I downloaded it.

Book Review of Lethal White by Robert Galbraith
Where did I find it: it’s book 4 of the series. What I liked: the relationship between Cormoran Strike and his assistant, Robin Ellacot. It’s been a slow lead up over the last three books. In this one their feelings for each other are clear, but I’m not sure whether they will act upon them.… Continue reading Book Review of Lethal White by Robert Galbraith
Book Review of Career of Evil by Robert Galbraith
Where did I find it: This is the third book of the series. What I liked: the relationship between Robin and Cormaran. Having seen the TV programme, their relationship didn’t show well in the first two books. It was perfect in this one. I also loved the way every character had a story. Career of… Continue reading Book Review of Career of Evil by Robert Galbraith
Book Review of Pushing up Daisies by Katherine Hayton
Where did I find it: I saw the third book in the series reviewed on jmnorthup.com. They are short reads, so I thought I’d jump into book one.

She then… Continue reading Book Review of Pushing up Daisies by Katherine Hayton
Book Review The Girl Who Left by Jenny Blackhurst
Where did I find it: it was recommended to me in an Anglesey Facebook group. What I liked: the mystery and suspense. It’s the first whodunit I've read for a while. I liked how the killer was identified first, but then doubts set in. I also loved how it was set in Anglesey where I… Continue reading Book Review The Girl Who Left by Jenny Blackhurst
