Perhaps it's no surprise to find another review of a novel by Daphne Du Maurier on my blog. I love Rebecca so much, as I know a lot of you do too, and I read The House on the Strand a few months back, (you'll find the review for that one HERE). This book is …
Sometimes you just want to sink into a good crime novel, and enjoy the gritty escapism. And if you like that kind of best selling fiction, full of action and races against time, you could do a lot worse than an Alex Cross novel. This is not the first in the series, but it was …
At the opening of this story by best selling author Liane Moriarty, we are told that one parent has been killed at a primary school event. The book moves back to show events leading up to the murder, and all the secrets that are hidden behind the facade of suburban life. When 24 year old …
In a way it's hard to review a real Stephen King classic like this one. It's Stephen King. And it's vintage Stephen King, you know? But these types of books are classics for a reason, and I can talk to you about those reasons. I think if you're a horror reader, you have to have …
This is a hard review to write, because being sent the book by the author, I have to say that at the core there was something that I didn't quite get about this book. Former.ly is the story of a guy who is recruited to work at a mysterious social media start up for a …

Perhaps Grisham's best novels were the early ones, like The Firm or The Client, but his more recent ones still make the best seller lists, and hold their own. In this volume, rather than being about a good lawyer in bad circumstances, it's about the type of lawyer we love to hate. The kind that defends …
Shardlake, that kind-hearted, hunch backed lawyer in Henry VIII's England is at it again, this time involved in a plot to incriminate the Queen Catherine Parr. This series of books is so evocative and immersive, I love sinking into them and being in the dark streets of London or whatever town Shardlake finds himself sent …
A doctor tells his daughter that there are three angels: the angel of life, the angel of death, and the third angel, who often appears as a person who needs your help. The book centres around three women of different generations, staying in London at the same hotel at different times, and how they are …
Another beautifully written and poignant book to sink yourself into, Alice Hoffman once again weaves a tale of romance, tragedy and release. I love her books so much, and although some of you have probably figured out from reading all her books this year, I do have favourites, this is one of her new releases …

Published back in 1956, this novel broke the bounds of what was acceptable and became a runaway best seller.
