Cut To The Bone by Alex Caan My rating: 4 of 5 stars I enjoyed this modern, up-to-date thriller.

Rattle (The Bone Collector 1) Fiona Cummins

However, the book does concentrate a lot on… Continue reading Rattle (The Bone Collector 1) Fiona Cummins

Love You To Death (Detective Ruby Preston 1) by Caroline Mitchell
Love You To Death by Caroline Mitchell My rating: 2 of 5 stars I can see I'm in the minority, but unfortunately this didn't really work for me. In a few short words the synopsis summarises the entire set up, so there is zero tension in the first 50% of the book, at which point… Continue reading Love You To Death (Detective Ruby Preston 1) by Caroline Mitchell
The Girls Next Door (Detective Eden Berrisford 1) by Mel Sherratt
The Girls Next Door by Mel Sherratt My rating: 2 of 5 stars This story started with a bang but unfortunately, for me, meandered for the rest of the book. The prologue is great, but the story then splits loosely into three separate strands and only one of them felt properly fleshed out. I found… Continue reading The Girls Next Door (Detective Eden Berrisford 1) by Mel Sherratt
