Just Read… The Defence & The Plea, by Steve Cavanagh
Yes, that’s two books. The Defence is Steve Cavanagh’s debut legal thriller. The Plea is, well, his next one. I normally read and review books singly, but I’ve been quite busy with life, so am a bit behind and decided to review both … Continue reading

Just read… Made to be Broken, by Rebecca Bradley
Well, not ‘just’. Two months ago, maybe? I’m a little behind. In fact, I didn’t actually read it at all. I listened on audiobook! Anyhoo… A rising death toll. A city in panic. A young mother is found dead in … Continue reading

Just read… Behind Closed Doors, by Elizabeth Haynes
‘Just read’ is factually incorrect, as I’m behind with my book reviews. Really behind! But, in keeping with the book review blog post titles I use, I’ll stick with it. Well, I use the same when I actually listen to … Continue reading

Just read… Beyond the Sea by Melissa Bailey
Okay, technically I haven’t just read this book, I read it over a month ago, but have been somewhat tardy in posting this review. But it’s here now. Popular writing advice says never start a book with a prologue. Melissa … Continue reading
Just Read… The Death House, by Sarah Pinborough
My usual genres are crime fiction and thrillers. With a bit of Stephen King thrown in, of course. The Death House is not crime fiction, nor a thriller. It’s closer to a Stephen King, and in fact SK thinks this … Continue reading
Just Read…The Girl Who Wouldn’t Die, by Marnie Riches
This one’s been sitting on my Kindle since April, and I only got round to reading it on my recent holiday. Boy, it was worth the wait! When an apparent Muslim terrorist bomb explodes at the University of Amsterdam, Detective … Continue reading

Just read… Gray Vengeance by Alan McDermott
Actually, that title is misleading. I haven’t read Gray Vengeance at all. Not a word. But I have listened to it. In early May I won 🙂 a copy of Alan McDermott‘s audio book of his fifth Tom Gray novel, … Continue reading

Just read… Time of Death by Mark Billingham.
I always think of books by Mark Billingham as safe. Not safe as in unadventurous, but rather a safe bet if you’re looking for a well-written police procedural. I listened to an older Tom Throne book a few weeks ago … Continue reading

Just read… Only The Brave by Mel Sherratt
If there’s something I like to do on holiday, it’s catch up with my reading. And I’m pleased that my latest trip was no exception, so expect a flurry of reviews. The first is for Mel Sherratt‘s Only The Brave. … Continue reading

Just read… Hidden by Emma Kavanagh
I have a confession to make. I’ve had Hidden on my Kindle for quite a few weeks, and due to being ill with the flu for about three of those weeks, plus a load of other (medical) dramas that regularly … Continue reading
Just read.. some Jack Reacher books.
I started reading Lee Child’s Jack Reacher novels quite late in the day. Early 2012, I think. And when I did, I was hooked and read the first 14 in about 6 weeks! I then took a break. Not because I’d … Continue reading

Just read… The Venus Trap by Louise Voss.
You may know Louise as one-half of the writing partnership she has with Mark Edwards, but she also writes on her own, with The Venus Trap being her fifth solo novel. The novel’s opener goes against popular writing advice of … Continue reading
