Anna seems to have the perfect live. Then one day she receives an email with a shocking photo and message attached. A woman has been killed and she know exactly who did it. And Anna is now in danger. I was expecting so much with this book after reading the blurb and even the beginning was gripping. Then I feel the story went outside the realms that fiction allows. Quite implausible, and I found myself skim reading just to get to the end. 3 stars.
Detective Sarah Noble is back to investigate the murders of mother and son in Slayton which match the circumstances of an urban myth of two black-eyed children killing people in the night, with fear frozen on their faces. The murder toll quickly raises and the time is ticking for Sarah to solve the mystery and catch the killer. More of a slow burner compared to The Midnight Man, but an enjoyable read. Can’t wait for the next instalment in the macabre town of Slayton!
Sarah is an up and coming author, trying to work on her book deadline. Her Aunt Evelyn, a world famous author, passes away, leaving Sarah her mansion, one one condition…she has to solve a 30+ year old mystery to earn the inheritance. Sarah moves into the mansion and has a mixed welcome party for the housekeeper and gardener. Sarah is determined to find out what happen to Aunt Evelyn’s close friend Lucy, who lived in the mansion prior to Evelyn and went missing without a trace. I really warmed to Sarah’s character and willed her on to solve the mystery. Another truly gripping read from Howard Linskey, and highly recommended.
A coach of students crashed in the mountains in a snow drift, and a cablecar of passengers are stranded in a snowstorm. All are heading to The Retreat. At The Retreat, reserves are low and possibly being stolen, something is not right with threats inside and outside. A gripping Tarrentino style book, which when it comes together will blow your mind. Another C.J. Tudor masterpiece.
