With the remains of the first month of 2016 disappearing before our very eyes I'm ding a couple of round ups f books I enjoyed in 2015 but didn't quite get round to reviewing for the blog... enjoy!

What She Left T R Richmond  (April 2015)

What She Left is an intriguing thriller told in a unique and

imaginative way.  After drowning in Southampton Alice Salmon’s life, her ex-lecturer Jeremy Cooke becomes obsessed with recreating her life story.  This is unfolded to the reader through a series of transcripts of diaries Facebook messages and tweets which makes Alice particularly real to the reader as we are gradually drip fed information about her.  A very complex and twisty story with hints of Gone Girl running throughout.  If you’re into contemporary psychological thrillers then this is one for you.

Available on Amazon kindle for £4.99 or PB £3.85

Signature Kill David Levien (April 2015)

Signature Kill is a visceral serial killer read.  Frank Behr is a

flawed but dogged police officer turned PI who becomes involved in the hunt for a serial killer.  Behr’s character is likeable and yet has an unpredictable edge that makes him an edgy character.  The fact he is the career of a young son gives him the edge over many other fictional detectives.  When a missing person’s case becomes a serial killer investigation Behr makes decisions and takes actions some will find uncomfortable.  Fast paced, no holds barred and exciting recommended for fans of Cross, Deaver and Carol
