Tuesday Falling - S Williams

 

Tuesday Falling - S Williams 

Wow I loved this book!  What a page turner!

Reading this book was such a pleasure and had me wanting to not get off my tram on my commute to and from work.  The opening of this book had me gasping for breath and wanting to cry out in disbelief and anger.   

Tuesday is a troubled person, a person with a hidden past, a young person out for revenge.

D I Loss and D S Stone are the police officers who set off to find Tuesday after what could only be described as a vigilante spree.

What connects Tuesday to Loss?  Why are people suffering at the hands of Tuesday actions? Why does Tuesday live beneath the streets of London, in tunnels people are not even aware exist.

I found this book to be a CPID (can’t put it down) book and  I am looking forward to reading more by this author and is certainly a book I would recommend to people to buy and read. 

February - Kerry Wilkinson (short story)

February - Kerry Wilkinson 

A short story and once I read to fill the gap from starting one book after finishing another.  A way for me to get my head back into the reading game and heart rate to slow down. 

Unlike some of the other books I've read, this didn't have Jessica Daniel's in, however it was still an enjoyable read. 

A young boy is bullied at school, has a home life where his mum loves him immensely and his dad tries to keep him in line by name calling and threats.  It's hard to describe this book any more without giving too much away, but if you like Kerry's other books it is worth picking this one up as a nice filler between reads. 

Looking forward to reading Kerry's next short story March due to be released shortly.  

The Theseus Paradox (David Videcette)

The Theseus Paradox - Stunning Thriller based on real life events

I decided to read this book after conversations that were being had on a book club I am a member of.  It has even got to the point of being called “The book that cannot be named”.  Yep you guessed it, it was being talked about every single day.

Detective Inspector Jake Flanagan is who this book is based around.  Set around the time of the 7/7 bombings in London and the issues that the police force had to deal with.  With short chapters it draws the reader in but allows the reader to break off at an appropriate point (mine was when my commute finished, otherwise would have been absorbed in this book).

What is truth?  What is fiction?

That is left to the reader to decided!

I have my own opinion of this book and must admit it had me at times reading a chapter and then stopping to stare out of the window and ponder on what had been wrote.  It is so close to home reading about the 7/7 bombings and the possible theories (unless it is the truth) about them.  It was a hard read at times for me due to having family in London but also a compelling read in that I wanted to know what was going to happen next. 

Well done to David Videcette for writing this book and I look forward to hearing and reading more about Jake’s exploits in future books.

April - Kerry Wilkinson

 

 April - Kerry Wilkinson

April is a short story and is set for those familiar with Kerry's Jessica Daniel's series between Playing with Fire (#5) and Thicker Than Water (#6). 

Without giving too much away, it is a short story about April and her walk to school one morning.  A story of every parent's worst nightmare. 

Or is it? 

I read this on my commute home one evening and can be read in about 20 minutes or so, (depending on how quick you read obviously).  It is a good short story and an interesting insight into a bit more of Jessica and her work. 

Look forward to reading more short stories by Kerry. 

Hunt for the Enemy - Rob Sinclair

Hunt For The Enemy – Rob Sinclair

The book starts off as a flashback to a time in Morocco, with Logan instructed to do a job by Mackie.  A job he is not 100% sure about.  We are then transported to the present time and to Logan arriving on Granger’s doorstep.  That can only mean one thing they are not safe.

Throughout this book, we are shown insights into Logan’s career.  What made Logan the man he is today.  We are also transported to the present situation and the problems that have occurred.  Why they are in danger.  Why they must run and why they are being hunted!    They need to keep the JIA (Joint Intelligence Agency) off their case, stay ahead of the game and do this all whilst trying to solve the incident that brought them together. 

This is transferred in the author’s unique way through the interweaving chapters.

This book to me was fast paced, had me wanting to learn more about Logan and what made him tick!  How his career was started and the obstacles that were put in his path along the way.  I loved the way we were taken back to his early days and given the opportunity to understand why he is like he is, the people that have hurt him, the people who love him and most importantly the way in which he handles the situations he finds himself in.   

I was drawn into the story from page one and didn’t want my commute to end and when it did end, I wanted it to be home time again so I could get on public transport and open my kindle to read some more.

This is the final part in the “Hunt” trilogy, but a part of me hopes that this is not the end of us hearing about Logan.

Thanks to the authors publishers and Netgalley for allowing me to read this book and also thanks to Rob Sinclair for writing such another great book.  I for one can’t wait to see what is next in store from this author. 

Please note this book is not due for release until 11th February 2016.  However, please click on the link to pre-order here.  You won't be disappointed.     

The Green Room – Faith Mortimer

The Green Room

The Green Room – Faith Mortimer

Ella is a nurse, leading a busy working life in a hospital’s trauma department.  Every day is hectic and she rarely gets chance to relax.  In the town where Ella lives, strange things begin to happen to young women who work in the theatre – “the Surrey Punisher” is on the loose.

The story is told in snappy chapters, each one headed with a name but all set around Ella.  The reader is drawn in with each page turned and left to draw their own conclusions.  It is a fast paced psychological thriller that had me wishing my commute to and from work was longer than it was!

The author has the knack of making the reader think the story is going one way, for you to think you know what is happening only to have the rug pulled from under you with yet another twist thrown in.

My thanks go to the author Faith Mortimer and (THE) Book Club #TBC for allowing me to read and review this book.

I look forward to reading more by Faith in the future, having already added to my wish list or kindle in readiness.
