A Score To Settle
Well, Well, Well.
Caz Finlay has smashed it again. Another epic read. Book 8 in the Bad Blood Series. As always this book has everything the reader wants from a gritty gangland thriller. Everything and a little more. This time around a feud boiling isn't business, it's personal. Find out what happens when the grandchild of one of Liverpool's gangland bosses is kidnapped. Everyone is on their toes, everyone doing their bit to try and help find her. Grace Carter and her Husband Michael are on the first flight home to Liverpool as soon as they hear the news. Everyone is out of their minds with worry and stress and when you family is the Carter family worry and stress do not mix well. The storyline is this book was first class, amazing real life characters that you just can't help but to like. The characters have been built up superbly over the series and really do get under your skin. Its had to believe at book 8 that everything still feels fresh and new, each time a book is released I thing Caz Finlay is going to struggle to top the last one. I'm pleased to say i have never been disappointed and each one just gets batter and better. Any fans of a gangland crime books will absolutely love this one and if you haven't read the previous book I would say you get a better feel for the characters by reading them in order, but it could be read as a standalone if you wanted. Why not download the whole series now!

DI Ben Kitto needs a second chance. After ten years working for the murder squad in London, a traumatic event has left him grief-stricken. He’s tried to resign from his job, but his boss has persuaded him to take three months to reconsider.
Ben plans to work in his uncle Ray’s boatyard, on the tiny Scilly island of Bryher where he was born, hoping to mend his shattered nerves. His plans go awry when the body of sixteen year old Laura Trescothick is found on the beach at Hell Bay. Her attacker must still be on the island because no ferries have sailed during a two-day storm. Everyone on the island is under suspicion. Dark secrets are about to resurface. And the murderer could strike again at any time.
Hell Bay by Kate Rhodes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars THE ISLES OF SCILLY MYSTERIES #1 I have recently started listing to more Audio books. I fully enjoyed this one. This is the first book in THE ISLES OF SCILLY MYSTERIES It won't be the only one i read. A thoroughly enjoyable read. Returning to the Isle of Scilly where her grew up, DI Ben Kitto is taking a recommended three month break from work after past events. It was suggested after he tried to hand in his notice to The London Murder squad. Being back 'home is going to be so very different for Ben. This take a turn once back on the Island when the body of sixteen year old Laura Trescothick is found on the beach at Hell Bay. As always with a new book series we are getting to the know the characters. Learning their history as we get invested into the story. This book has some interesting characters. I think i'm going to like Ben Kitto and and look forward to getting to know more about him as i read more of this series. I believe there are currently 5 books in this series so I certainly have a little bit of catching up to do. If the rest of the series is anything like this one then i'm going to enjoy it.

The Marriage Counselor by Dea Poirier
My rating: 4 of 5 stars What the hell have i just read/listened to. This book has more twists than a big twisty thing. What a great, suspenseful read this was. The Narrator has just the right balance of changes in voice, adding to the suspense the whole way through. The Narrator has done an amazing job on this book. The author has pulled off a cracker of a book. New author to me, Dee Poirier is certainly an author I will look out for in the future. I was gripped from early on in this book, It starts off strong and continues the whole way through. Adele is a marriage councilor, but one that hasn't realized she has issues with her own marriage. Is it too late when she discovers what problems she has. When her husband vanishes Adele is helped by her ex boyfriend who just happens to be the local cop. Secrets are unraveled the whole way through this book and twists a plenty. I have to say the ending really did take me by surprise. View all my reviews
Adele, we believe your husband is missing.” As everything around me starts to blur, I go over the words once more: “your husband is missing.” Four simple words with the power to shatter my whole world in an instant.
Working as a marriage counselor I’m used to the tragedies that come out of nowhere. People trust me to help them through life’s big moments. The things that leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about the person you love the most. But I never thought trouble would land on my own doorstep. As I start to piece together our last conversation desperate for any clues I can find, the cop standing in front of me reveals that my husband never told his co-workers he was married. He was seemingly living a double life right in front of me. Days later, as I search through our home, I discover a hidden box of baby clothes that suggest my husband was starting to build the perfect life without me. My entire career has been built on separating the truth from the lies. My husband may think he has pulled off the greatest lie of all but he is not the only one keeping a secret in this marriage. All I know for certain is that when the truth comes out, only one of us will make it out alive. A totally addictive and unputdownable psychological thriller about deadly obsession and twisted lies perfect for fans of Gone Girl, The Perfect Marriage, The Wife Before Me and anything by Freida McFadden.

The Surgeon: An utterly unputdownable and pulse-pounding psychological thriller packed with twists by Leslie Wolfe
My rating: 4 of 5 stars I got this book initially via my Kindle Unlimited subscription. When I realised the audio was available I thought I'd give it a go. I love when i can switch between reading and listening. Reading when I have the chance to sit down, and then being able to carry on with the audio when I'm busy or out walking is fab. I really enjoyed this. An interesting read/listen. The Surgeon is a good medical thriller. Easy read/listen interesting and intriguing. I liked the main character, Anna Whiley loses her first patient on the operating table. What then follows is Anna being investigated for a death that shouldn't have happened. But was it anything to do with Anna. Is there anything that could have been done differently. Beating herself up Anna looks into what could or couldn't have gone wrong. This book had plenty of twists and turns that keep you engaged within the story. Leave you wondering if you are guessing correctly at what could have happened. One of those books that you want to keep reading. I would recommend this book. Trusted surgeon. Loving wife. Murderer? Before my world came crashing down, I had it all. The successful career I dreamed of. The beautiful red-brick home where I could relax in front of the fire. The handsome, devoted husband whose blue eyes and charming smile always made me feel safe. As I call time of death, my voice is steady. My colleagues stand hushed around me, their eyes on me, confused, concerned. I have never lost a patient until today. My hands tremble inside their gloves. I slide down the cold tiled walls, my heart racing in my chest. I have never hated a patient until today. But what choice did I have, once I recognized him? And what will I do to protect myself, if someone learns the truth? A totally gripping psychological thriller that will have you racing through the pages, gasping for breath until the final jaw-dropping twist. If you love Freida McFadden, Shari Lapena and The Girl on the Train, you won’t be able to put this down. View all my reviews |
