Special Feature: The Last Woman in the Forest by Diane Les Becquets
Diane Les Becquets is a new to me author. I haven’t read her debut novel, Breaking Wild, which was a big best seller in 2016. I have only recently started reading a lot more thrillers so it’s not surprising that I hadn’t heard of her novel before. Then this one came up for review and I was eager to give it a shot because it sounded really interesting, plus I like the husky dog on the cover (I am a husky owner myself) so needless to say I was partial. I will be reviewing it in June, but since it just released this month, I wanted to get the word…

Review: The Blameless Dead by Gary Haynes
I think that a lot of people feel that the war ended on VE Day in 1945, but it wasn’t like VE Day came and suddenly everyone put down their arms and went about rebuilding their lives rebuilding everything. That is the reason this book caught my eye. This book is set in the final days of WWII there Red Army makes its way through a dying Nazi Germany….I thought this book had a lot of historic potential that would be interesting and new for me. Plus it sounded like it was going to look at how the ramification of war would be felt throughout the generations. In some ways…

Review: The Wolf and the Watchman by Niklas Natt och Dag
Earlier this year I read The Alienist, yes I know I’m about a million years late to the party for The Alienist. In short, I loved The Alienist and I found that it was a completely different and unique story and prose. Though I had to take it in small doses, I still loved it and thought that it will forever stand out as an excellent historic thriller not only for the time when it was written, but that it has a lasting appeal. So when this book came across my desk for review and was marketed to fans of The Alienist, I couldn’t say no. That’s a tall order…

Review: I Invited Her In by Adele Parks
I immediately recognized the name Adele Parks when the book came across my desk for review. I haven’t read any of her books, but it was a name that I had seen before. I had meant to pick up one of her books long before this, but for some reason I just never did. I decided to remedy that and read her latest thriller, I INVITED HER IN. I liked that this book was not only a thriller, but one that featured two female best friends but late in their friendship. It didn’t sound like it was going to be one of those ‘I just met this girl and we…

Review: Woman 99 by Greer Macallister
This book’s description immediately resonated with me. I love all things turn of the century, plus I also love reading about early science and medicine. One day, one of my fellow book blogger friend and I were discussing how much we wanted to read this book. In the end she emailed the publicist for this book and shamelessly begged for an ARC for the both of us. Which we were so happy to receive! This book was high on my list of TBR and I was eager to get to reading. As soon as it arrived I set aside all my other books just so I could start this one…

Review: In the Dark (DI Adam Fawley #2) by Cara Hunter
This book arrived on my desk for review a little late in the game for me. It came early in February and most of my February review schedule was set and I wasn’t sure that I wanted to try and add one more book to the month. However, this book sounded positively horrifying—a woman and child are found in the basement of a house barely alive and can’t speak and no one knows who they are? What in the world—was the first thing that went through my mind. I was instantly curious and eager to find out what this book was all about. So I did what any sensible book…

I am fortunate enough to kick this one off with the first excerpt. Check out the excerpt below and the other stops on the tour for more previews of this novel.

Review: The Suspect (Kate Waters #3) by Fiona Barton
Author, Fiona Barton, seems to have a rather large cult following on social media. Her books (especially this new one) have been all over my Instagram page and I have to admit, I was intrigued by the prospect of being able to fan girl a new-to-me author. As I have said before, I am new to the thriller genre and often become intimidated by starting new series mid way through, however in recent years I have had fairly good luck with starting mid series. I had seen that this book can be read as a stand alone, even though it is part of the Kate Waters series.

Review: The Break Line (Max McLean #1) by James Brabazon
When I first started blogging, I wasn’t reading too many thrillers, let alone government thrillers. But over the years, I have read a few here and the genre started to grown on me. Since I started blogging, I have increased my thriller base substantially. Often though, I find that I am coming into a thriller series late in the game, with established characters and well developed subplots. When I had the opportunity to start this government thriller from the beginning, I eagerly said yes. This is a debut novel for author James Brabazon and his main character Max McLean so steaks are high for a solid introductory novel.
