pickWait, what?! What the hell did I just read? I was initially intrigued by the opening scene at Hull Fair but soon found this story worming it's way under my skin. And if it starts as one thing it ends up being - slowly, creepingly, inexorably - something else altogether. It is genuinely chilling & I could not have foreseen the twist - even as it was unravelling in front of my eyes I was incredulous. The writing of the MC is excellent ... cont. ⬇️⬇️
Really enjoying this book so far and I am especially loving moments like this - I've eaten at both these restaurants! The references to Hull just make it seem so real. David Mark is the only other author I've read who has set their novels in Hull ... I think, I'm sure there's probably more if I thought about it.
The cannelloni at Da Gianni was To Die For. So garlicky! Sadly closed now ... as I believe Lucca is too. Grrr, made myself hungry!
Started this one today. Another #Netgalley book that I can't remember anything about or what made me request it....
So I was quite delighted & excited to discover the author comes from, and still lives in, my neck of the woods! Being Hull/East Yorkshire. And the book opens with a scene set at the famous Hull Fair! Really hope the local flavour continues!
This is on my TBR list - it‘s about a mother whose son disappeared years ago who is then told by a fortune teller he will return to her during the coming Christmas! Looks a bit spooky and is set in Winter ! #jingleshelves #setinwinter ❄️❄️❄️
