pickI thoroughly enjoyed this story. It has an easy writing style, the plot flows along at a fast pace, drawing the reader in to its murky depths wonderfully. It‘s gripping and exciting. The social mores of the time are well depicted and the characters vividly brought to life. It‘s a fun and captivating romp with plenty of atmosphere and glitz as well as some seedier elements and even a little bit of gore! 😱. A page turner. #Pigeonhole
pickI found this a fascinating but macabre read, it‘s well researched and gives a great insight into all the characters connected to the case. It‘s not a happy tale and some of it a sent a shiver down my spine. The case went someway to abolishing the death penalty in Britain. The book is very matter of fact and very absorbing - you‘d think twice about doing some d-i-y in your house after reading this! Recommended for true crime fans. #Pigeonhole
pickI very much enjoyed this second book. Historical fiction cleverly combined with fact, this is an engaging and absorbing mystery. I loved all the little details and the inclusion of real-life figures and events. Well paced and written, I was gripped from beginning to end. The ending is left on somewhat of a clifffhanger - I can‘t wait for book three so that I can join Non and Basil on their next adventure! Hurry up, Alis Hawkins! #Pigeonhole
pickI enjoyed this story. Like all good thrillers there are plenty of twists, turns and the odd red herring. I liked the witchy vibe and found the references to witch bottles, hexafoils etc fascinating. There are some strong characters, especially Carla and Erin, both feisty women. The plot is quite a dark and creepy one, but very intriguing and I was gripped from beginning to end. A good book to read on the run up to Hallowe‘en! #Pigeonhole
pickI enjoyed this story although I did find some of it a little disjointed. Nevertheless I found it quite different, imaginative and absorbing. I liked the characters and, being born and bred in Yorkshire myself, I loved the setting! The genre is classed as ‘romantasy‘ and I think ‘In Silence and Shadows‘ is a good example of this particular genre. An engaging and bewitching read - I look forward to book two! #Pigeonhole
