The Killing Hour.

                                  

Good Evening, boy have I found a new author her name is Lisa Gardner. Maybe I have been sleeping and you may have discovered the lady before me what have I been missing. I have read this book very quickly as I just could not put it down. If the rest of her books are anything like this one I will be a very happy bunny. As usual it is another thriller but you know that by now that’s the kind of books I like. You will not believe this but this is another book within a series this was no 4 it did not say anything about this on the cover and I did not discover it I looked up the author on Fantastic Fiction but fortunately did not matter. She has written plenty of books so will have to keep a lookout for more of her work. Don’t want to say too much if you want to know about her have a look on the website Fantastic Fiction. As I have said before it is a great sight for readers. Will have to give this great thriller 9/10. Till next time Love

Broken. by Martina Cole.

                                        

Good Afternoon, have just finished Broken by Martina Cole to say you enjoyed such horrific story would not be right but I did find it unputdowndable if there is such a word. It is a big book and I read it in just under a week which is quick for me in the wintertime, sounds strange but I read more in the summer sitting in the garden. It is a very disturbing story but the characters are very strong, it is well written although the language is a bit colourful to say the least but it something you come expect from Miss Cole. In this book I did not find the language as gratuitous as in some of the other books of hers I have read. Made my usual mistake in reading the second book of a series first but I had read about 100 pages before I noticed I had the first one sitting on the shelf. The first one is called ‘The Ladykiller’. Am looking forward to reading that one but not just yet as I like to chop and change a bit. Will give this 8/10. Till next time Love,

Snow Blind. P.J. Tracy.

                                  

Good Evening, have been sitting curled up with my book this afternoon as it has been a cold windy day not as bad as it was in the book that I have just finished. Snow Blind was a great thriller a real page turner and the title was spot on. It snowed all the way through the story and by the end it was six feet deep. I have heard some of our j-land friends speak of very deep snow worse than we ever get here nowadays and this book really brings it home how bad it can be. If you have read any of P.J.’s books you will know her characters, this is their forth book and it’s the same format at before. The Monkeewrench team are not in this one so much but there is a new lady sheriff that’s has a big roll. Its one of those books that has you reaching for the thermostat and a blanket it makes you feel so cold. What next don’t know……………………. 8/10

 

                                                                                Love Joan.

Sleeping Cruelty

                          

Here we are again another book finished. This is not an atypical book for Lynda la Plante it is not what I would call a murder mystery as you know who done what all the way through it is a story of revenge. It is a big departure for her but I did enjoy it is a bit of a top shelf book if you get my meaning but enjoyable just the same but don’t say I did not warn you.

I have just started Snow Blind by P J Tracy Jasmine says it is very good so am looking forward to reading it as it has been sitting on the shelf for a few months and it’s a hard back copy which I love. Till next time. Love Joan.  7/10
