The Flower House by Nicky Black
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It has a great sense of foreboding throughout which compelled me to keep turning the pages. The characters are all very complex, some of them not very likeable. The plot is a gripping one. I love dual timeline stories set in older properties, involving families and their secrets - this one certainly fulfilled my wishes in all parameters. Highly recommended. #TBC on Facebook
A fast paced, cat and mouse chase, rollercoaster of an adventure. It takes the reader on quite the journey, twisting and turning at every corner, action packed all the way to the end. A bit of a horror story, too! It‘s narrated via two voices, that of Dr Watson and Col Sebastian Moran. It was interesting to get two sides of the story. I didn‘t always know what was going on but I went with the flow and ended up thoroughly enjoying the ride. #TBC
Love Island meets Lord of the Flies in this intense thriller. A compelling read where I didn‘t know who to trust at first. The claustrophobic feeling of the island is really well depicted as is the paranoia. When the villain of the piece starts to be revealed, the suspense increases, the characters‘ anxieties ratchet up and the pace escalates. I very much enjoyed it - it kept me turning the pages. #TBC on Facebook
I quite enjoyed this fast paced mystery, the plot rattles along and is intriguing. However, I did find it a little repetitive at times and lacking a certain depth - there wasn‘t a sense of place and the characters seemed one dimensional. It kept my attention nevertheless and I wanted to know how it all concluded, although I guessed the twist quite early on. It makes for easy, light reading. #TBC on Facebook
