I am delighted to share my review of Anna O by Matthew Blake. This is a debut by the author and it was a brilliant psychological thriller.

My huge thanks to Harper Collins UK for granting my request to read this title via NetGalley.

THE WORLD WILL KNOW HER NAME

What if your nightmares weren’t really nightmares at all?

We spend an average of thirty-three years of our lives asleep. But what really happens, and what are we capable of, when we are sleeping?

Anna Ogilvy was a budding twenty-five-year-old writer with a bright future. Then, one night, she stabbed two people to death with no apparent motive—and she hasn’t woken up since. Dubbed “Sleeping Beauty” by the tabloids, Anna suffers from a rare psychosomatic disorder known to neurologists as “resignation syndrome.”

Dr. Benedict Prince is a forensic psychologist and an expert in the field of sleep-related homicides. His methods represent the last possible hope of solving the infamous “Anna O” case by waking Anna up so she can stand trial. But the doctor must be careful treating such a high-profile suspect—he’s got career secrets and a complicated personal life of his own.

As Anna shows the first signs of stirring, Benedict knows he must determine what really happened and whether Anna should be held responsible for her crimes.

Only Anna knows the truth about that night, but only Benedict knows how to discover it. And they’re both in danger from what they will discover.

MY REVIEW

This is a fabulously twisted and atmospheric psychological thriller. Anne O, the ‘O’ is for Ogilvy, her surname and ‘Oh my goodness’ and ‘Oh, I didn’t expect that!’.

Anna O is asleep, she has been for four years continuously and the trial is on hold until she wakes. The trial is for the murder she committed, or maybe committed. Nobody seems to know what happened until she wakes and the case can finally close.

This is a book that is slower-paced as such and very deep, looking into several people and their interactions with each other. It is one where I was never sure where the story was going, well I thought I did, but then other things began to emerge and throw me.

Anna is moved to a sleep clinic where she comes under the care of Dr Benedict PRince, he is a lecturer and a forensic psychologist and he is tasked with trying to find a way of waking Anna up. He sort of has a connection to this case as it was his ex-wife who originally attended the scene, she is in the police and was first on the scene.

The story emerges and there are sections from a notebook Anna has kept. This gives you an insight into what was going on in her life before the murders and her falling asleep. Around that there is the main story of Ben, how he is trying to wake her, some psychological profiles, mentions of different diagnoses and all-in-all quite a lot of information relevant to the story. I really enjoyed this and for me, it really added to the story as it sort of added credence to the character of Ben.

Anna O was a real person, a search on the internet will give you information about her ( I should mention that this case was not something that the author has referred to, just something I have come across).

I have, however, seen an article from the author who based this book on real-life events, one is of people committing murder while sleepwalking the other is his study of resignation syndrome, which is where people fall asleep for years with no medical reason. Putting these two concepts together and then researching to create such an enigmatic story makes for addictive reading.

By the end of the book I found myself completely turned around, and so very far from where I thought this would go. I for one completely enjoyed this and it is one for those who like twisted thriller with a strong psychological premise, some great research and one that makes you think. There were a couple of times when I paused to think about what had just happened, to process the next twist or to just wallow in the eureka moment only to have another eureka moment later on!

Addictive, brilliant and one I would definitely recommend.

About the Author…

After discovering that the average person spends thirty-three years of their life asleep, Matthew Blake felt the pull of a story. He began extensive research into sleep-related crimes and into the mystery illness known as resignation syndrome, research that sparked a thrilling question: if someone commits murder while sleepwalking, are they innocent or guilty? And so his novel Anna O was born.

Before writing fiction, Matthew worked as a researcher and speechwriter at the Palace of Westminster. He studied English at Durham University and Merton College, Oxford and now lives in London.

Welcome to another weekly wrap-up of books I read over this last week. I almost managed three, but the one I am on at the minute I do not want to rush as I am loving it.

I am trying to think of what has happened over the last week and not really anything much that I can think of! Just general life stuff I think lol! I am surprised that it is almost February. Usually, January drags but this year it seems to have flown by.

Here is what I have read…

Where They Lie by Claire Coughlan is a mystery that takes Journalist Nicoletta Sarto a while to get her head around. The mystery is of a disappearance several years previous, she is trying to piece things together. Set in Dublin in the 60s with the crime in the 40s. Full review soon.

Last Orders at Mulberry Lane by Rosie Clarke – this is the 10th and final book in this series that was originally only meant to be a trilogy. This has been a wonderful book and series. Full review as part of the Blog Tour.

The Fury by Alex Michaelides @MichaelJBooks #crime #thirller #suspense #murder #NetGalley #bookreview

I am delighted to share my review today of The Fury by Alex Michaelides. I do own his previous books but this is the first time I have read a book, I will get to his other ones.

My huge thanks to Michael Joseph and Random House publishers for granting my request to read this title via NetGalley.

Totally original and utterly compelling, with a voice all of its own, this is the outstanding new thriller from the no.1 internationally bestselling author of The Silent Patient, Alex Michaelides.

This is a tale of murder.
Or maybe that’s not quite true. At its heart, it’s a love story, isn’t it?

One spring morning, reclusive ex-movie star Lana Farrar invites a small group of her closest friends for a weekend away, on her small private island, just off the coast of Mykonos.

Beneath the surface, old friendships conceal violent passions and resentments. And in forty-eight hours, one of them will be dead.

But that was just the beginning…

You may think you know this story. Think again.

MY REVIEW

I still have to read The Silent Patient and I have two copies so there is no excuse, but when I saw this one I liked the synopsis and it turned out to be a very enjoyable read. This is a dark slow burner of a thriller and one that focuses on a small group of friends.

Told from the perspective of Eliot, one of the group the whole narration comes from him. He tells of those involved, the past and the present and takes the reader on an enigmatic journey through to the final scene. The story is laid out in acts and this does work well as the story is about theatre, an actress, movies and the connections between the characters. It is a tragedy as such but one that is not as straightforward as it first appears.

I really enjoyed this story and I liked how devious the characters become. The story lays out the scenario and then the fun begins, getting to know the characters and how they all came to be on the Greek Island. You don’t immediately know why there was a death but you know there was one. It is the journey to the answers rather than the answering of questions that makes this a good read.

The isolation of the island gives it an atmospheric air, especially with the mythological histories and also the strong Hitchcock presence in the story, he is mentioned a few times and is a muse as such. Again this adds to the atmosphere and intrigue.

Having a group of people in the story is good, but having just one narrator was ideal for this story and it worked so well. It gave a one-sided view of events, but then it changed and became a battle and turned into a psychological thriller as well.

This is a story that has a lot going on but it is told in a well laid out way and this is what made the story so addictive. Watching the twists develop and appear was great. It is a whodunnit and there is a lot of misdirection, the characters are flawed and not really that likeable if I am honest. The end of the story came in a whirlwind with a frenetic feel as the truth finally emerged.

A mix of psychological, thriller, mystery, whodunnit, murder, suspense and a very, very good read. It is one I would happily recommend.

Relight My Fire by C.K McDonnell @Caimh @TransworldBooks #fantasy #supernatural #fiction #mystery #crime #bookreview

yvonnembee 2 Comments

I am delighted to share my review today of Relight My Fire by C.K McDonnell. This is the 4th book in the Stranger Times series and it is absolutely brilliant.

My huge thanks to Transworld Books for granting my request to read this book via NetGalley.

Some comebacks can be murder . . .

Stella is enjoying life as an almost student, or at least she is until a man falls from the sky right in front of her, leaving a big old hole in the pavement for Manchester Council to fill. The obvious question of how he ended up in the sky in the first place has no obvious answers, which is where The Stranger Times come in. This isn’t just the hunt for another story though. Dark powers think Stella might have been involved and the only way she and the team can prove her innocence is to find out what the hell is really going on. What have dodgy gear, disturbed graves and a decommissioned rock star got to do with all this?

Vincent Banecroft has problems of his own in the form of a tall, dark but-definitely-not-handsome man dressed like a one-man funeral who has been sent to make the paper’s editor atone for his sins. Once he finds out exactly what that entails, Banecroft is not keen. Being banished to a Hellscape for all eternity looks like being no fun at all, not least because he has that pale Irish skin that burns really easily . . .

All that plus territorial ghouls, homicidal felines, eternal (and seemingly unstoppable) gnomes and a celebrity ‘Who’s Who’ that’d put a royal wedding to shame, and you’re looking at a wild few days for The Stranger Times .

MY REVIEW

This is another fabulous and brilliant book in this series. The Stranger Times is a newspaper, you know the old printed sort and no way online at all, that is responsible for reporting the bizarre, unusual, weird, odd, batty, peculiar, outlandish, curious and downright unfathomable stories that come across the desks of the reporters. It is owned by Vincent Bancroft, whose favoured weapon of choice is a blunderbuss. Also Manny, a Rastafarian with an additional side to him, Stella, who also has an additional side to her, Grace who keeps everyone supplied with tea and prayers, and Reg, a ghoul, and a Detective inspector who is deemed to be ok to deal with the “weirdy bollocks” that the newspaper seems to deal with.

Vincent has had a curious past, it seems that it has now caught up with him as a mysterious man takes great delight in informing him. Vincent will soon be residing elsewhere for his part in the “Simon episode” from the last book. The story starts with Stella, leaving her college course for the evening and going home only to have a man fall from the sky in front of her. This is the start of some strange events that even those on the Stranger Times newspaper will find unsettling.

This is another brilliantly funny book in the series and yes it could be read as a stand-alone but I do urge you to read all the books in the series as not only do they give you the bigger picture on this crew at the paper, but they are all fabulous, funny and brilliant books to read.

The story will delve into the dark magic scene in this urban fantasy world the author has created. It runs alongside our everyday boring world with a few extras such as ghosts, ghouls, things that go bump in the night and lurk in dark corners and damp cellars. The author creates a story that is totally within keeping of the characters and as you read the story it feels like the author is having as much fun as I was reading it.

This is a fabulous book in a fabulous series. It is a mix of urban fantasy, mild horror, humour, mystery and crime. A mix of all sorts and then some! Yes, I adored this one and I would definitely recommend it.

Hello and welcome to my weekly update of books I have read. I managed to read 2 books this week and have been catching up with reviews and coursework.

I have to mention the weather… We have had every type of weather going, sometimes all in one day! I did manage to fit a swim in at the local beach and as I hadn’t been for almost two weeks I definitely felt the cold. It was also the oldest swim I have done since the end of last autumn. A very chilly 8 °C in the water with a similar air temperature.

Here are the books I have read…

The Fury by Alex Michaelides – I have never read any of this author’s books, although I do have them. This is a twisted thriller that I really enjoyed. Full review to follow.

Anna O by Matthew Blake – I thoroughly enjoyed this one, it is another psychological thriller that I was addicted to. Full review to follow.

That me done for the week,

Have a great week ahead

Happy Reading

Dark in Different Ways by J.D. Patterson @_JD_Patterson @SpellBoundBks @Tr4cyF3nt0n #thriller #psychological #bookreview

yvonnembee

I am delighted to share my review today of Dark in Different Ways by J.D. Patterson. This is a fabulous thriller that is set mainly in Australia and the first for me to read anything by this author.

My huge thanks to Tracy at Compulsive Readers for my spot on the Blog Tour and for arranging my copy of the book from the publisher – SpellBound Books.

There are dark secrets beneath the Australian sun…His troubled past behind him, Thom is happy living in Sydney with his lover, Craig and dreams of being a journalist.

When the death of a teenager causes a riot, Thom thinks he’s found his perfect story. But when he starts asking questions, he attracts the attention of Rob Morton, a corrupt detective with something to hide. Before long, he’s ensnared in a twisted game of cat-and-mouse with the psychopathic Morton, who will go to appalling lengths to stop him.

In mortal danger – and with his new life unravelling – Thom finds he can trust no-one. Not even himself. In a high-stakes world where he doesn’t belong, what can he do to survive?

Tense and atmospheric, Dark in Different Ways is a haunting odyssey through the murkier side of Sydney.

MY REVIEW

Thom moved to Australia to study journalism there. It was a way of escaping his past and giving himself some distance from the ideologies that initially got him into trouble in the UK. Now in Sydney, he is living with Craig and is doing well for himself. He comes across a story about the death of a teen involved in a riot. Thinking this could be something, Thom decides to follow it up and finds himself in a whole lot of trouble in a country that he is only just starting to understand.

This was such a good book and one that soon became one that I could not put down. A fabulous thriller that has a great psychological edge to it as there are so many mind games that the author has brought into this story. While it is the story of Thom and what he thinks is right, it is also about his naivety and, what some may call, his recklessness.

It is when he becomes the focus of Detective Rob Morton’s eye that things start to become more twisted, devious and dangerous. It makes for an addictive and adrenalin-fuelled read.

Thom is one of those characters who feels like he is doing the right thing when he decides to delve into the story of a dead teenager, but he doesn’t realise that there are so many things he just doesn’t understand. He thinks he is an adult but his 20-odd years haven’t really equipped him for what he finds himself in the middle of.

The author has done such a good job of giving Thom security with his partner Craig and in some ways, this makes him naive as Craig is a lot older and more worldly wise. It is a bit of an eye-opener when Thom starts to doubt what he knows and suddenly he finds himself, not the truthful wannabe-journalist, but someone who does not understand or see the bigger picture.

When he does start to learn what is going on, he realises the danger he is actually in.

This is a dark and brilliant psychological thriller that twists and weaves through Sydney. It is a brilliant book to introduce me to this author and I will be looking forward to reading a lot more. It is one I would definitely recommend.

The Actor by Chris MacDonald @MichaelJBooks #fiction #mystery #thriller #bookreview

I am delighted to share my review of The Actor by Chris MacDonald. This is a dark psychological thriller that delves into the method style of acting and has a mystery from the past.

My thanks to Penguin Random House and Michael Joseph Books for granting my request to read this title via NetGalley.

TO ACHIEVE GREATNESS, HE MUST SACRIFICE EVERYTHING…

Discover 2024’s most original new thriller, a story of glamour, secrets and obsession…

At long last, Adam Sealey has an Oscar within reach. Working with his controversial former mentor, Jonathan, he’s given the performance of a lifetime, and he almost believes it might be worth the cost.

Because Adam subscribes to “the method”. It’s the secret that the world’s greatest actors swear by – digging into their darkest, most personal traumas to bring a role to life.

And Adam’s greatest trauma is worse than most. Back in drama school, he had to choose between a girl he loved and the success he craved. What he did that night is his darkest secret.

And then he gets a message: someone knows. And if they tell, everything Adam’s worked for will come crashing down.

MY REVIEW

This is a very dark thriller, but not one that has a fast pace. It is an amble through the life of actor Adam Sealey. The story flicks back and forth between past and present and gradually fills in the answers to the questions that have been building.

Adam trained as a method actor, which involves getting into character and remaining in character, this is something his tutor Jonathan wants. To feel what the character feels and then express it to the audience so they believe the character and the actor are one person. This involves going deep into Adam’s self and exploring his fears and his emotions. This is something that involves laying yourself open, and being vulnerable and not everyone agrees with the extremes that Adam or some others will go.

The story goes back to when Adam was a student, learning the trade and the different styles of acting, movement and skills required to be an actor. It is through these sections that you realise and start to learn how destructive this style of acting can be. It does have tragic consequences.

The present-day is one that Adam is looking forward to, being short-listed for an Oscar is a dream and something that actors aspire to. This also involves more media coverage, interviews and appearances, one of which involves him going back to the college where he learnt his acting trade.

This is a thriller that gradually increases in tension and suspense. Having the answers slipped in over the course of the book makes the story intriguing. Trying to please his tutor and get some form of recognition from him involves Adam going to some interesting extremes and lengths. What makes this a psychological thriller is the way Adam is manipulated and it is this process that makes it such an intriguing and multilayered read.

The author does a fabulous job with Adam and shows the murky and vitriolic world behind the scenes and the glamour of the screen and its stars.

This is one for those who like a slower thriller and one that is very much character-led. A wonderful book with some disturbing scenes. It is one I would recommend reading.

The Woman on the Ledge by Ruth Mancini @centurybooksuk #NetGalley #thriller #mystery #bookreview

yvonnembee 5 Comments

I am delighted to share my review of The Woman on the Ledge by Ruth Mancini. This is a fabulous devious story with twists and shocks.

My huge thanks to Century Books for granting my request to read this title via NetGalley.

A woman falls to her death from a London bank’s twenty-fifth-floor roof terrace.

Tate Kinsella, a single out-of-work actor who’s been temping at the bank, is arrested for her murder.

Tate confesses to having been alone with the victim minutes before she died, but insists she had nothing to do with the tragedy.

She’s been framed, she tells her lawyer, who agrees to help prove her innocence.

But it soon becomes clear that Tate’s story is not wholly consistent, and that she may indeed be lying.

Whose secrets is she keeping? And why?

As the mystery unfolds it becomes apparent that the key to the truth lies in the past, and nothing about the woman on the ledge is as straightforward as it first appears.

Obsession. Intrigue. Revenge. The Woman on the Ledge is a psychological thriller and a powerful story of female friendship that won’t let you go until the final gripping page.

MY REVIEW

This is a fabulous thriller that had me hooked and I loved the numerous twists in it. As the synopsis tells you, an out-of-work actress is doing temping work at a bank when she is implicated in the death of a woman. The woman is identified as the wife of one of the bank’s workers. Why is Tate implicated, well she admitted to seeing the woman before she died!

The role of Tate was so good, that she was being blamed for something that was a coincidence of her being at the scene at around the same time as the death. The police believe that they have their woman and are looking to change Tate but she is adamant that she is innocent. Her life is thrown into turmoil as the police investigate.

As the story progresses as other voices are added into the story. The story also goes back and forth in time filling in the gaps, indicating other things happening in others’ lives. In the normal world, life still goes on, people still go to work and argue within their family units but Tate is not getting any of that. She is waiting on the investigation.

This back and forth does give more to the story than you first realise. When this starts to become apparent then things change. The whole idea I had around what the story was going to be was turned upside down and was brilliantly turned into something much more devious and twisted.

This is a brilliant book to read and it is one that starts off well and then the suspense just builds and builds. It meant that it became a book I really didn’t want to put down because the more I read the more I needed to know. So addictive and completely took me by surprise several times.

This is ideal for those who like a deeply twisted thriller and one that I would definitely recommend.

About the Author…

Beirut Station by Paul Vidich @paulvidich @noexitpress @RandomTTours #thriller #espionage #crime #bookreview

yvonnembee 4 Comments

I am delighted to share my review today of Beirut Station by Paul Vidich. This is a first for me by this author and it was a wonderful crime thriller story.

My huge thanks to Anne at Random Things Tours for my spot on the Blog Tour and for arranging my copy of the book from the publisher – No Exit Press.

A stunning new espionage novel by a master of the genre, Beirut Station follows a young female CIA officer whose mission to assassinate a high-level, Hezbollah terrorist reveals a dark truth that puts her life at risk.

Lebanon, 2006.

The Israel-Hezbollah war is tearing Beirut apart: bombs are raining down, residents are scrambling to evacuate, and the country is on the brink of chaos.

In the midst of this turmoil, the CIA and Mossad are targeting a reclusive Hezbollah terrorist, Najib Qassem. Najib is believed to be planning the assassination of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who is coming to Beirut in ten days to broker a cease-fire. The spy agencies are running out of time to eliminate the threat.

They turn to a young Lebanese-American CIA agent. Analise comes up with the perfect plan: she has befriended Qassem’s grandson as his English tutor, and will use this friendship to locate the terrorist and take him out. As the plan is put into action, though, Analise begins to suspect that Mossad has a motive of its own: exploiting the war’s chaos to eliminate a generation of Lebanese political leaders.

She alerts the agency but their response is for her to drop it. Annalise is now the target and there is no one she can trust: not the CIA, not Mossad, and not the Lebanese government. And the one person she might have to trust—a reporter for the New York Times—might not be who he says he is…

A tightly-wound international thriller, Beirut Station is Paul Vidich’s best novel to date.

MY REVIEW

This is the first time I have read a book by this author and thoroughly enjoyed it. Set in Beirut it is told from the perspective of Analise, she is a CIA agent who has a Lebanese and US background, fluent in languages and is working as a NOC.

Analise is a cold character and as such she keeps her feelings very much to herself, this also makes sense as her character would not be one who would let others know what she was thinking. The story’s timing is when President Bush is in power and Condoleezza Rice is the American Secretary of State. There is trouble in Beirut with Hezbollah, Mossad and CIA interference. I am aware of things occurring at this time in world history but I have never felt I have a very good understanding of the politics of the time, or at this time for that matter. This means I am reading the story as a story and not a representation of the facts at the time, the author does admit that this is a fictional work with some facts.

The story is one of cat and mouse and it oozes danger and tension across the pages. There is the obvious danger from being spies in a foreign country and then there is the danger from corruption with the government agencies. I do love a bit of double-crossing, moles and dodgy deals and this book has its fair share of them. With a Times reporter trying to score his story, a terrorist trying to kill an American politician and loads in between there is a lot of action to the story. The pacing of the story for the most part is fairly fast, there are times when it does slow and it gives the reader a chance for a quick breather before undercover meetings are once again set up.

There are times when the story does get quite complex as there are a reasonable amount of characters to recall and trying to remember which side they are supposed to be on can be a bit challenging, especially when they seem to change sides or don’t have an obvious side!

This is a thriller and crime story that has terrorism, explosions, corruption and espionage in it. I did get to like the character of Analise and what she was going through as part of her role. There is more to her than the cold calculating person I thought she originally was.

Great story and characters, ideal for fans of crime thrillers and one I would happily recommend.
