Review – The Chinese Twin by Sarah Engell
This Nordic noir mystery had an unusual storyline that was a slow burn for delivering obscure and tantalising information. Interesting read
Review – Fifty Fifty by Steve Cavanagh
One of the sisters killed their father but which one is the question as they both have motive and the evidence implicate both.
Fifty Fifty takes us through the point of view of the defence attorneys and the killer.
Got to say that the killer is pretty hardcore. Other people are stepping stones to her overall objectives. Lives, many lives are expendable.
Formulaic but engaging nevertheless.
Review – Dark Blue Rising by Teri Terry
Dark Blue Rising is a mystery wrap up as a young adult read. Why is Tabby’s past an enigma, why is she so drawn to the sea and what does the future hold when secrets are revealed.
Review – Nothing Important Happened Today by Will Carver
As the novel is interspersed with vignettes on cults, their leaders, serial killers and victims, Will Carver has thoughtfully given us (the reader) enough context and examples to assist us in the hunt for the leader and other members of the group, so we are not reliant on the police who appear incapable of solving this in a prompt and satisfactory manner.
Book Review – Are You Watching? by Vincent Ralph
I haven’t explained why I think the plot is attempting to be convoluting but really is stringing so many red herrings along that you feel you’re in a fishmongers
Book Review – The Possession by Michael Rutger
The Possession is the definition of creepy: with different realities, town secrets and weird occurrences. This book made me look up the definition of paranormal and supernatural and realise that both applied.
Book Review – The Anomaly by Michael Rutger
I started to really like this book when things started to go wrong, culminating with the group trapped in the cave. That’s when it decided to get eerie, creepy and claustrophobic.
