5 tips to help you find books you’ll love!
What Doesn’t Kill Us
What Doesn’t Kill Us is a beautifully written, gripping and immersive, and still very relevant historical novel about misogyny and activism.
The Trials of Marjorie Crowe
Murder in a small community. Robertson does it again, with another great female character, Marjorie Crowe. Gripping and immersive.
The Undiscovered Deaths of Grace McGill
Grace is a death scene cleaner. A well written, character-driven, immersive crime read. I loved it. Dark, disturbing and unusual.
Head First
Troubles in the mind cause troubles in the body. Boom. The ‘insight’ stops there. Head First says NOTHING new about the mind-body connection.
The Hunter
Another episode of American ex-cop Cal Hooper in rural Ireland. Intelligent, insightful and well written. French gets better all the time.
The Best Way to Bury Your Husband
The Best Way to Bury Your Husband is, surprisingly, a very moving AND uplifting AND very funny book about domestic abuse and violence. Really!
The List of Suspicious Things
Yorkshire Ripper. The List of Suspicious Things is a multilayered narrative and a totally immersive snapshot of the place and time.
The Lost Cause
Is the world a lost cause? We should be screaming a warning from the rooftops. I applaud Doctorow for trying.
Under Ground
Victorian filth is Under Ground. Feel it clinging to your shoes and smell it as it assails your nostrils. It is gross — and engrossing.
The Scandalous Confessions of Lydia Bennet, Witch
The Scandalous Confessions of Lydia Bennet, Witch won me over totally! It is funny, clever and very, very entertaining.
