My Review
This book was first recommended
to me by a fellow blogger and good friend Neats (AKA The Haphazadous Hippo, link to her blog is here) who
between us like to taunt each other about the books we’re read that the other
hasn’t and see if we can tempt them with our reviews to pick the book up. This I’m afraid was one that Neats had read
before me and kept telling me I should read this as I would love it.
Well I must admit that …………………………
she was right (OK Neats you win!) 😊
The Puppet Master is a book that
had me hooked from the first few pages where I was introduced to Billie, a girl
with a troubled past who refuses to let anyone get close to her and Adam a
young man who is a journalist with a particularly unhealthy interest in a story
that involves uncovering Billie’s past, not realising as he worms his way into
her life the rollercoaster of emotions it unearths for them both.
A tale of manipulation, a tale of
Billie whose trying to take back control of her life. A tale of Adam trying to uncover that
journalist story no matter what the cost!
I couldn’t believe when I finish
this book and went to mark on Goodreads as I do with all my books I’ve read,
decided to have a look at the reviews.
I’m one that will not read a review on Amazon or Goodreads until I have
read the book. As I was marking this
book and glanced at the reviews, I realised that this was a debut novel of
Abigail’s. If someone had told me that
this was the authors first book, I would not have believed them. It is a great read and intricately weaves the
background of what happened to Billie and why Adam is involved as he is.
About the Author
Abigail is originally from the
Lake District but moved to the West Midlands for University where she completed
an English Literature & History degree and also met her husband. She is a
passionate reader and has an unsustainable collection of books. This obsession
with books has led to her creating her own Dewey decimal system and she has
been known to issue fines to family and friends if her book is not returned on
time. Writing The Puppet Master has unleashed a love of writing and Abigail
hopes to put her scarily crazy imagination to good use. She is currently
working on book 2 and 3 and looks forward to publishing these soon.
