Jo and Ash have the perfect relationship. Or so it seems, until Ash is accused of crimes against Jo’s young daughter, Millie. Then Millie goes missing. This story is about the search for Millie.
The mother, Jo, is our main character and detectives Tom Douglas and Becky are investigating the case. It soon becomes clear neither Jo's husband nor her best friend are telling the truth. There are plenty of potential suspects - could Ash’s adult brother and sister be involved? And then there’s Jo’s ex who is thrown into the mix because he has been angrily harassing Jo to gain access to Millie... I enjoyed following the hunt for Millie and Jo is a great character, very believable and very emotional.

My new release - Deadly Secrets - goes on Amazon pre-order today.
Wish me luck! Go to Deadly Secrets on Amazon Five years ago, Izzy’s husband and newborn daughter went missing. When Izzy receives a note similar to the one posted to her when she lost her baby, Izzy relives her nightmare. And with it comes hope - is her daughter still out there? Are they still alive?
We follow a male and a female detective as they search through the history of the case and try to come up with answers. I found the story a tad contrived but it's what most people would call a 'page turner' because terrible things keep happening and poor Izzy is put through the grinder. I liked Detective Darin and she'll definitely be better without her boss. If you're looking for an easy read which you can pick up and put down, this would tick the box. 3.5 stars. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book. This is my honest review. Oooh I love the new cover for Deadly Motives. My publishers have changed the cover and the title (- previously published as Killer Motive)

Alice, Ursula and Gareth are three ordinary people with ordinary lives. They don't know each other but their paths are soon going to cross. It will be up to them to decide the fate of a fourth person who has plotted to end someone's life. What will they decide and how will each of them act? It's impossible to say much more without giving away the story. I thought this was a fantastic plot and I loved the characters and their life stories. Very well written, unpredictable and by far the best book I've read in a long time. Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an Advance copy. I liked the main detective in this story, retired Warren Carter, and I liked the female sergeant Becky Harris. Becky and Warren respect each other and they've worked together before. Warren has been brought back from retirement to take on an internal affairs case - the warrant card of an officer has been found at the scene of a crime - Why? Whose card is it? Is an officer involved in a cover up?
As the story unfolds Warren's and Becky's two separate cases seem to be linked, and they collaborate to uncover a corrupt officer. I always admire authors who choose to cover difficult themes. We get to know one of the victims and her hopes for her future. This could be harrowing but in the context of the story as a whole I thought it worked well. A good read and I hope to read more of Warren and Becky in the future. SIX MONTHS TO KILL by Enzo Bartoli
Regis has just been told he has six months to live when he is approached by a young woman who wants him to kill someone who is ‘bad’. Regis gets sucked in by the woman’s charisma. He’s lonely and is facing a boring, painful end to his life. He likes her and maybe he falls in love with her a little? Regis agrees to do the job and so begins a trail of murder where Regis ends the lives of several people who he is told are the vermin of society. Of course, all is not as it seems. When the police become involved, Regis finds himself getting in deeper. Alongside this, there is the miracle cure for his cancer, which his own doctor offers him ‘off the record.’ Is there a possibility he might be cured? The best thing about the story was the set-up. What would we do if we knew we would die in six months? This makes it intriguing to follow Regis and his thoughts. A bit more character development would have made the story more believable for me. Regis was a bit took quick and easy in his decisions. He’s highly intelligent but he’s a loner and was easily persuaded to cross the line. This was an easy read, and it was entertaining and original. My thanks to NetGalley for a copy of this book. This is my honest review. There's still time to grab KILLER MOTIVE at its launch price :)
"When a nurse is murdered, Detective David Grant recognises the hallmarks of a serial killer called Travis..." Amazon UK 0.99p Amazon USA 0.99c 4.7 stars on Amazon UK with over 40 ratings and 4.2 stars on Amazon USA!! PERFECT CRIME by Helen Fields
The crimes in this one are pretty gruesome, as with the earlier books in the series, so enjoy it and be prepared to cringe. There are surprises as Luc and Ava hunt down a killer who is targeting people committing suicide or wanting to commit suicide. I really enjoyed the hunt for the killer. In the background, Luc is tracking a man who attacked his mother in the past. This lands Luc in trouble. Ava is questioning her new role as DCI and as Luc's boss. And a woman from Luc's past turns up again. The thriller part of the book worked well and it's five stars for me. It’s full of action and I kept turning the pages to find out what happened next. What worked a bit less well for me was the number of times Ava took her clothes off in front of Luc, and then said they were only good friends. Could a woman really sleep naked next to a man she likes (twice) and nothing happen? I guess I'm not a romantic suspense fan however the crime part was fantastic. Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book. This is my honest review. |
