It has been a while since I have done a weekly catch-up. I had been away visiting my Mum and when I got back I was busy with coursework and gardening. So, even though I have an impressive list of books I have read it has been 3 weeks since I last updated.
I have already reviewed a lot of these and I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who shared my posts while I was away from my Blog. You are all amazing 🙂
The Shadow Key by Susan Stokes-Chapman – If you are a fan of historical fiction then this is a book that you might want to have a look at. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I found it very addictive. It is at times creepy and eerie and also very mysterious as the threads are gradually unwound. I liked this a lot and I would definitely recommend it.
I Died on Tuesday by Jane Corry – This is a fabulous story and one that I thoroughly enjoyed, it is tense and at times it challenges your initial thoughts. I think this would make a brilliant book for a book club especially if you had someone to ask leading questions. This is a thriller that has a very addictive edge to it, I adored it and I would definitely recommend it.
Death of a Union by Andrew Wood – This is a good book and one that I really enjoyed, it is a mix of two stories and each is linked, but they also show how the politics of the day can shape decision-making. Anything political is going to leave me thinking of corruption and conspiracy and this book is another one that backs those thoughts up.
Dry Lands by Elizabeth Anne Martins – We live in a world that is changing, so when I saw this book I was definitely intrigued. Sea levels are rising, a shift in the Earth is causing changes and there is a race to keep on the dry lands of the country. This is a story that is set in the US and follows a woman and her son who are making a journey to a place of refuge with one of her relations.
The Silverwood Promise by James Logan – If you are a fan of fantasy that has a mix of sorcery, corruption, deviousness and double-crossing then this is one you should have a look out for. It was a fabulous book to read and it didn’t take me long before I was hooked and read it over a couple of days. It is one I would definitely recommend.
The Family Experiment by John Marrs – This is a brilliant book and the story spans several genres, speculative fiction, fiction, contemporary, thriller and there is a psychological feel throughout as the story focuses on people and their actions and reactions. Brilliant story and one I would definitely recommend.
No Time for Douby by Robert Crouch – The author really has nailed this one and there were more twists and turns, red herrings and misdirection. I will say that this is something that he does well, but this particular one seemed to take it up a notch. The murder victim comes with a whole load of questions and the answers do not come easily, when they do are they the answers Kent is looking for? If you are a fan of crime and mystery books with a difference then have a look a this series, I have read and enjoyed each one and this is another that I would definitely recommend.
One Perfect French Summer by Lucy Coleman – I adored this book and the story, it’s one of those stories that is heartwarming and was an absolute pleasure to read. If you are a fan of romance and contemporary fiction then this is one you should have a look at. I would definitely recommend it.
That’s it for this week,
Have a great week ahead
