Detectives investigate a murder at an exclusive block of exp gives flats. This came to me in an email from Amazon and as it was a short story and by such a distinguished author, I downloaded it. The writing is extremely sharp as we follow two detectives into a high rise multi story block of… Continue reading The Rise by Ian Rankin.

Fault Lines, Deluge by Harley Tate
An Earthquake and a Tsunami in the second instalment of the series. I loved this book. It’s easy to read, and it’s a lot of edge of your seat, nail biting action! This time I bought the paperback and on looking at my review of the last book where the formatting was off putting, this… Continue reading Fault Lines, Deluge by Harley Tate
My Review – Warrior Betrayed by Denna Holm
This is a small pocketbook that I’ve had on my bookshelf for at least three years. The book has since had a new cover and is a prequel to the Immortal Warriors series, which I haven’t read. A few years ago I devoured the Raiden Warrior series, still one of my favourite ever trilogies. How… Continue reading My Review – Warrior Betrayed by Denna Holm
My Review – Fault Lines Upheaval by Harley Tate
This book was presented to me on Amazon as ‘similar’ books I might like. Well, I did. It was excellent. It is about a family, Clint, his estranged wife Daphne, and their daughter, Mika who were all in different parts of the state when the earthquake strikes. Each person has a different chapter which tells… Continue reading My Review – Fault Lines Upheaval by Harley Tate
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
My Review – Looking Good Dead by Stephen Puleston
This is book number twelve and I’ve read them all over the last eleven years. The thing I love most is they are set in north Wales where I live. Often based on Anglesey, or like this story, they frequently visit. 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 – World Quake by Mark Hobson
I found this on a Facebook advert. By the sound of it I hoped it would be like one of those disaster films and it was. It’s a long book for me, but I tore through within a few days. Action packed with three interesting protagonists. The story moved between their crucial roles and the… Continue reading My Review – World Quake by Mark Hobson
My Review – A Thousand Splendid Sons by Khalid Hosseini
Trearddur Bay WI has started a Book Club, and of course I had to join. At our branch meeting in April, I was given a copy of A Thousand Splendid Suns in paperback from the local library. It’s completely different from anything I’ve read before or would choose to read. The story spans the years… Continue reading My Review – A Thousand Splendid Sons by Khalid Hosseini
My Review – Cut and Thirst by Margaret Attwood
This came in an email from Amazon with a few other books where I could choose one for free. I chose this because I like the author and I loved The Handmaid’s Tale. That means I didn’t read the description and so didn’t know what this story was about. It started with three women, friends,… Continue reading My Review – Cut and Thirst by Margaret Attwood
My Review of Dig Two Graves by Helen H. Durrant
I saw this advertised on Facebook by Joffe Books. I fancied a crime story and it was in Kindle Unlimited, too. I also noticed it was a brand new book, released less than a month ago. Although this is the first book of what will be a series, it made several references to a previous… Continue reading My Review of Dig Two Graves by Helen H. Durrant
