Magpie - Elizabeth Day

Oh my goodness what a book!

But first of all can I just say thank you to Buddy Read Book Nook who host a huge amount of buddy reads every month!!

What a real 'page turner', I honestly couldn't turn the pages quick enough, for me this is hands down one of the nest psychological thrillers I have ever read. Throughout reading I was really quite pleased with myself for qworking out what was going to happen but boy was I so wrong!

THAT TWIST - SENSATIONAL.

so cleverly written and written with such sensitivity and care especially for the themes that run throughout.

I will definitely be on the look out for more books by Elizabeth Day.

Fair Game - R.D Nixon

Image
The addictive, gripping and unputdownable Book 2 in the Clifford-Mckenzie Series, although this is book 2 it reads perfectly well as a standalone as throughout the book it briefly keeps you up to date on what happened during book 1. After reading First Game, I will definitely be on the look out for book 1, Crossfire.  Fair Game kept me gripped until the very end and the twists were just incredible I never saw them coming, I actually thought I had worked out the murderer fairly early on but I was so wrong, I just love it when an author has that ability to completely trick you into thinking one thing and then later reveals a huge twist you don't see at all! This was a 5* read for me, very had to review without giving away the whole story, but definitely an author to start reading a d a series to start, I really hope there will be more crime fiction from R.D Nixon. Thank you once again to Anne for organising this blog tour through Random Things Tours and for letting me read and take p...

The Family Man - Kimberley Chambers

Image
So today is my stop on the blog tour for Kimberley Chambers new novel 'The Family Man'. The Family Man is the start of a brand new series for Kimberley. What an explosive first instalment it is, as with every book I've read from Kimberly I found it very hard to put down. I love the way her writing just pulls you straight in as if you are actually there.  In this new series we meet The Bonds, hard Bond is Kenny, recently freed from doing a stretch inside after killing a policeman by accident, Kenny adores his family his wife Shal, his kids Donny and Sherry, his grandkids Beau and Brett, his mother and aunt Nell and will stop at nothing to protect them, especially when one is caused harm!! This is definitely a family you don't want to get on the wrong side of! This book of course also contains its fair share of "notrights"!! I definitely can't wait for the second in the series!! Hopefully it's not too far away!!! A must read for crime/gangland fiction re...

Kalmann - Joachim Schmidt

Image
Today is my stop on the blog tour for 'Kalmann' by Joachim Scmidt, an Icelandic mystery full of humour.  I really enjoyed this book, I found it very atmospheric, humours and engaging. Although different for your usual mystery read I loved the originality around it.  Self appointed sherrif, Kalmann of  Raufarhöfn (a small town in the north of Iceland) comes across a puddle of blood whilst out Fox hunting. However instead of reporting the blood, he goes home to watch Dr Phil. It isn't until he is taken in for questioning we unravel the complex life of Kalmann Odinsson and how he became so engrossed in survival having learnt it from his grandfather. But by not reporting the puddle of blood stained ice could Kalmann have gotten himself tangled up in something far worse? Kalmann will not stop until he finds out what has happened.  I thoroughly enjoyed this book from start to finish, I do hope we will see more of Kalmann in the future.  Thank you Anne at Random Things...
