With her latest novel, Philippa East has cemented herself as a master of the domestic, character-driven thriller. With a plot that keeps the reader guessing, “A Guilty Secret” is another wonderful exploration of what happens when our traumas catch up with us. 

“A Far Better Thing”, the new novel by horror writer Thomas H. Brand, is out now in ebook and paperback!

The new novel from Thomas H. Brand, A Far Better Thing, will be coming out in the next couple of months. Keep your eyes open for pre-release announcements!

The Guest List is a book that didn’t grab me at first. In fact, for the first few chapters, I thought I was in for an excruciating read. But once the character introductions are out of the way, Foley gives us a fast-paced web of a story that is almost impossible to put down.

In my review of Philippa East's previous novel, “Safe and Sound”, I said I thought it was a big improvement on her debut. And I'm happy to say her follow-up, “I'll Never Tell”, proves that this improvement was no fluke by being a fast-paced thriller I could barely put down.

I enjoyed Philippa East’s first novel, but I didn’t love it. But with Safe and Sound she’s taken what she had and built on it, hitting all the points that make it incredibly readable and almost impossible to put down. 

Jo Jakeman proves she is an author who just gets better and better. And with her third novel, she shows us she's a master of Domestic Noir.

I enjoyed this book, but felt it only really got going in the second half. There is a really good story here, with a core concept that’s incredibly interesting once you reach it. However, I don’t feel that the set up and initial feel of the book gels that well with the second, much better, half.

I got this book as my Secret Santa gift at work last year. It was a successful purchase.

This story grabbed me from the start. We follow the characters Claire and Duncan, a couple whose marriage has been dead for years, in two separate time periods: Before and After. You find yourself immediately trying to work out the event between them, but Draper masterfully keeps you guessing.
