Not my usual genre but this elegant ghost story with overtones of romance kept me enthralled. The compelling character have gripping back stories too. Definitely 5* from me.

I hadn‘t read anything by John Grisham for a while and was looking forward to reading The Guardians. It has a good premise and what should have been an interesting story arc. Unfortunately the way the book was written there wasn‘t so much an arc as a flatline. The story plodded on relentlessly to a predictable conclusion. I was disappointed.

Here‘s my review of Stuart Turton‘s second novel, The Devil and the Dark Water. This is a historical thriller set aboard a ship in the seventeenth century. There is a selection of colourful characters, a hint of romance a few murders and a tidy conclusion that I didn‘t predict. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel.
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. It is set in the 17th century on a ship, so it was out of my comfort zone. However I enjoyed the variety of characters, the vivid descriptions and the story, except for the info dump at the end. That rather let the book down. I did not predict the ending and will look forward to Turton‘s next novel.

A little treasure of a book containing clever flash fiction stories and well-crafted poems.
I just finished Wh‘s Smiling Now? by Joy Wood. It is an intricate tale of love, loss and murder told in a sophisticated and elegant manner. I very much enjoyed this novel and look forward to reading more by this author.
I recently read the novel Hurting Distance by Sophie Hannah. It is a deliciously complex psychological thriller. Parts of it are very gritty and difficult to read, but persevere- it is well worth it. Highly recommended.
This is the second book in the family saga by Patricia M Osborne. It is is sophisticated novel with an gripping story, elegantly told. I highly recommend it.

This is a gripping, clever psychological thriller. Even when you think you know how it will end, you are wrong. An excellent read by a fine author. I highly really recommend it.

I have read every one of the 832 pages of this book. I would have bailed but it was a gift from my daughter and she really rated it. I know there will be questions. - I hope she does not ask which character I liked best, they were all despicable. I hope she does not ask about the story. I still do not know what the story was.
I am not a stupid person, but this book was a chore - not a labour of love.

Thank you to everybody who helped make Hunter‘s Blood (The Edinburgh Crime Mysteries #4) a best seller this weekend. 💕📚💕 mybook.to/huntersblood
This is a unique book full of delightful drawings, enchanting words and valuable life lessons. You can finish the book in an hour, but will want to re-read it over and over again.
I had great hopes for this book as it and the author came highly recommended. But it did not work for me. The novel is set around WWII but after 124 pages I had been lured up three blind alleys relating to the protagonist, whom I did not even like. It is rare for me not to finish a book, but this one was not worth my time.
I have just finished reading The Daughter of Lady Macbeth. It is the first book by Ajay Close that I have read. It explores different attitudes to motherhood and family relationships. I quite enjoyed the book, but not enough to recommend it or to seek out other novels by this author.
I don‘t often re-read books but this book is excellent and I have just finished it again. Another fabulous read from Katharine Johnson.
I had read The Fifth Child for my book group, so decided to read the sequel Ben in the World for interest. The themes of loneliness, discrimination, poverty and homelessness are not jolly, but sadly do stand the test of time. This book is well worth a read.
I have just finished the third book in Amit Dhand‘s Harry Virdee series, City of Sinners. There is strong violence and graphic scenes, but if you can cope with that, this is a brilliant series. Just getting better & better. This book is excellent. Highly recommended.
I found this book quite hard to get into. Still, the more I read, the more I wanted to read and I was sorry when it finished! Time slipping, body hopping, murder - this book has it all. An amazing debut novel. Highly recommended.
