The Serial Killer’s Daughter by Lesley Welsh
The Serial Killer's Daughter by Lesley Welsh My rating: 1 of 5 stars I'm sorry but this one was not for me. I read a lot of crime, serial killer, murder mystery, suspense and thriller books so I can manage gruesome scenes and unpleasant people but this, for me, had very few redeeming features. The… Continue reading The Serial Killer’s Daughter by Lesley Welsh
Sweetpea by C.J. Skuse
I haven’t killed anyone for three years and I thought that when it happened again I’d feel bad. Like an alcoholic taking a sip of whisky. But no. Nothing. I had a blissful night’s sleep. Didn’t wake up at all. And for once, no bad dream either. This morning I feel balanced. Almost sane, for… Continue reading Sweetpea by C.J. Skuse
Follow You (formerly Be My Killer) by Richard Jay Parker
Follow You by Richard Jay Parker My rating: 4 of 5 stars When I started this book, I didn't know just how much I was going to (mostly) love it. It is along the lines of one of my favourite tropes: a group of isolated people are picked off one by one by an unseen… Continue reading Follow You (formerly Be My Killer) by Richard Jay Parker

Last Breath (Detective Erika Foster 4) by Robert Bryndza
Last Breath by Robert Bryndza My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is another fantastic book from Robert Bryndza. It was great to have plenty of familiar faces back in the frame - especially Moss, my favourite! There are quite a few surprises along the way in an already shocking story and there are some… Continue reading Last Breath (Detective Erika Foster 4) by Robert Bryndza
Love Me Not (Helen Grace 7) by M.J. Arlidge
Love Me Not by M.J. Arlidge My rating: 3 of 5 stars I love M.J. Arlidge, I love Helen Grace and I was very excited to read Love Me Not.

Rattle (The Bone Collector 1) Fiona Cummins
Rattle by Fiona Cummins My rating: 3 of 5 stars I enjoyed this book, to a point: it is creepy and pretty original and I very much liked Detective Etta Fitzroy. Most of the characters were well drawn and sympathetic - I particularly liked Erdman ('Erdman', though?!). 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
