When Izzy O’Brien flees the city centre apartment she shared with her controlling partner, she relocates to the seaside town of Dun Laoghaire, and the house she inherited from her aunt.
Isolated and insecure, Izzy is relieved to be embraced by a tightknit group of female neighbours, who invite her to join their book club.
My thoughts: this was a fun read, full of terrible deeds and not really about a book club at all, although if Louise hadn’t got the members together in the first place, more of them might have survived the events that this blackly comic murder fest entails.
Izzy has run to her aunt’s house, that she recently inherited, to get away from her controlling and angry boyfriend, Adam. Unfortunately he’s not willing to let her go. Louise is a neighbour who invites Izzy to join the book club meeting at her house, where Kate, Tess, Dee and Melanie are all waiting to discuss Sherlock Holmes.
The next morning, by text, they’re informed that Kate is dead. Was it her husband? A jealous lover? Or was it someone at the book club? As events spiral and more violence breaks out, it seems that book club isn’t a cosy safe place, but a hotbed of murder and insanity.
Izzy, her new friend Dylan and the other members are all at risk, and the various husbands and boyfriends have their own unhinged relationships too – the war between Louise’s husband Robert and Melanie’s Alan over the dog shitting in the garden gets spectacularly crazy.
Nothing in supposedly quiet Dún Laoghaire (which I now know how to pronounce, thank you!) where Izzy thought she might find some peace is as it seems when these neighbours go to war!

In her irresistible new novel, Sunday Times No 1 bestselling author Victoria Hislop shines a light on the questionable acquisition of cultural treasures and the price people – and countries – will pay to cling on to them.
Of all the ancient art that captures the imagination, none is more appealing than the Cycladic figurine. An air of mystery swirls around these statuettes from the Bronze Age and they are highly sought after by collectors – and looters – alike.
When Helena inherits her grandparents’ apartment in Athens, she is overwhelmed with memories of the summers she spent there as a child, when Greece was under a brutal military dictatorship. Her remote, cruel grandfather was one of the regime’s generals and as she sifts through the dusty rooms, Helena discovers an array of valuable objects and antiquities. How did her grandfather amass such a trove? What human price was paid for them?
Helena’s desire to find answers about her heritage dovetails with a growing curiosity for archaeology, ignited by a summer spent with volunteers on a dig on an Aegean island. Their finds fuel her determination to protect the precious fragments recovered from the baked earth – and to understand the origins of her grandfather’s collection. Helena’s attempt to make amends for some of her grandfather’s actions sees her wrestle with the meaning of ‘home’, both in relation to looted objects of antiquity … and herself.
Inspired by a visit to Spinalonga, the abandoned Greek leprosy colony, Victoria Hislop wrote The Island in 2005. It became an international bestseller, has sold more than 6 million copies and was turned into a 26-part Greek TV series. She was named Newcomer of the Year at the British Book Awards and is now an ambassador for Lepra. Her affection for the Mediterranean then took her to Spain, and in the number one bestseller The Return she wrote about the painful secrets of its civil war. I
n The Thread, Victoria returned to Greece to tell the turbulent tale of Thessaloniki and its people across the twentieth century. Shortlisted for a British Book Award, it confirmed her reputation as an inspirational storyteller. Her fourth novel, The Sunrise, about the Turkish invasion of Cyprus and the enduring ghost town of Famagusta, was a Sunday Times number one bestseller.
Cartes Postales from Greece, fiction illustrated with photographs, was a Sunday Times bestseller in hardback and one of the biggest selling books of 2016. The poignant and powerful Those Who Are Loved, was a Sunday Times number one hardback bestseller in 2019 and explores a tempestuous period of modern Greek history through the eyes of a complex and compelling heroine. Victoria’s most recent novel, One August Night, returned to Crete in the long-anticipated sequel to The Island. It spent twelve weeks in the Top 10 hardback fiction charts.
Her books have been translated into forty languages and Victoria was executive producer on the adaptations of three of her novels for Greek television. Victoria divides her time between England and Greece and in 2020, was granted honorary citizenship by the President of Greece. She was recently appointed patron of Knossos 2025, which is raising funds for a new research centre at one of Greece’s most significant archaeological sites. She is also on the British Committee for the Reunification of the Parthenon Marbles. Victoria was recently granted an Honorary Doctorate by the University of Sheffield.
My thoughts: Having read several of Victoria Hislop’s previous books, I knew this would be enjoyable, well written, full of history and very interesting but this was also something of a thriller.
Helena is half Greek and spends a few weeks every summer at her grandparents’ home in Athens, a place her mother refuses to return to. Her Yiayia (grandmother) is kind but under the thumb of her husband – a general in the Greek army, and as the military rules the country, an important man, but not a kind one.
As she gets older Helena realises more and more about her family, their place in Greek society and her grandfather’s casual cruelty. She becomes closer to her mother and her Scottish father, a doctor, who is so different from her grandfather.
As an adult Helena meets the charming Nick, who invites her to join him on an archaeological dig in Greece. From there everything changes, initially enthralled by the charismatic young man, she becomes suspicious of him and his charms. Discovering he might well be involved in the theft and sale of priceless antiques is the last straw and Helena begins to plan a way to stop him, and those he works with.
It’s an utterly gripping story of wrongs to be righted, beautiful and ancient artefacts in peril, the illegal antiques market, and a love story too. Helena and Greece. As well as the young art restorer she meets while selling her grandparents’ furniture in Athens.
I was completely hooked and thought Helena a wonderful protagonist, as she learns about Greece’s difficult and complex past, makes new friends and ultimately builds a life, while ensuring some truly wonderful treasures remain where they belong.
As the argument about the Parthenon marbles stolen by Elgin and currently held in the British Museum continues to rumble on (I find that particular gallery dreary and depressing), this is a timely and intelligent reminder that the treasures of the past should be preserved for the future, in their homelands, not sold away to private collectors. A truly delightful story with a powerful message.

My sister died. Her friends lied. And now I’m going to learn the truth…
A year ago, my twin sister Samantha left me a message: I need you.
A day later, she was dead. I always knew it was suspicious, but no one would listen.

Now, they’re all together on a weekend away, in a beautiful wood-panelled cabin in the mountain. And I’m going too. One of them killed her, and I’m going to prove it.
But am I ready for the answers I’m seeking? Because I soon realize that my sister had dark secrets too…
And when fire breaks out on the mountain, leaving us trapped, I must decide: what will I risk to get justice for Samantha? Because finding the truth might cost me my life…

My thoughts: after her sister dies, Stella gives up her life of travel and photography to help her parents run the family dry cleaners, an invitation to join Samantha’s close friends on a weekend away in celebration of their friend leads to confrontation and violence, Stella knows there’s more to her twin’s death and finding a journal filled with secrets means she’s determined to get answers.
The weekend away gets really tense and scary when fire breaks out shortly after a major confrontation between the characters, talk about tension! After Jackson suffers an accident, and the others close ranks, Stella gets frightened, someone here is dangerous.
Utterly gripping, very intense and clever, loads of twists and turns. Never start a business with your friends is the message I’m taking away, especially if one of them is a psychopath!

Shortlisted for the 2020 Crime Writers’ Association Debut Dagger award
Newly qualified offshore medic, Danny Verity, arrives on the Cuillin Alpha oil platform shortly before a storm damages the satellite system, severing the crew’s only mode of communication to the mainland.
Storm or sabotage?
Danny is forced to perform emergency surgery on an injured crewmate, whose accident he suspects was the result of sabotage. The man dies, a member of the crew disappears, and yet another is attacked.
Enter the Pied Piper, whose sinister announcements carry his threats through the entire platform.
While the North Sea rages around them, emotions and suspicions run high.
Danny knows he’s the only one who can stop the saboteur. But will the crew trust him?
With no way of calling in help and unable to risk escaping on the lifeboats, everyone aboard the oil platform is trapped. So is the killer… and Danny is determined to smoke him out.
Chris Blackwater is a writer and chartered engineer from Leeds, England. His first novel Emergency Drill, book 1 in the Danny Verity, PI series, set on a North Sea oil platform, was shortlisted for the 2020 CWA Debut Dagger Award. His short stories have appeared in a variety of magazines and anthologies including contributions to the much-missed Mad Scientist Journal.
Book two in the series, Dead Crude, is set in Orkney. Apart from Danny Verity, it features other characters who survived Emergency Drill. He is working on a third book in the series, called Head Hunting.
Chris began writing to entertain himself whilst working on offshore oil platforms and remote power stations. His career has taken him all over the world to unusual locations and introduced him to some remarkable characters. In recent years Chris has gradually drifted down to the south coast of England where he spends his spare time learning to sail and play the flute, though not at the same time.
My thoughts: this is a fast paced, explosive (although not literally) thriller set on a North Sea oil platform. Danny is the new medic on crew – he didn’t expect it to be this eventful.
Starting with the death of another crew member, a series of sabotage events terrify the whole platform and cut them off from the mainland, unable to get help.
Danny joins forces with some of the others on the platform to unmask the Pied Piper claiming responsibility for the incidents, and stop them before anyone else gets killed. But with supplies running low and the power almost out, time is in short supply.
Danny is an interesting protagonist – a former Military Police Officer turned medic, he has skills and experience he tries to put into use during this terrifying case. He has to rely on people he doesn’t know very well, especially Gemma, who acts as his sidekick and insider, while hiding out after almost being killed.
Using his own experiences, which hopefully wasn’t as traumatic, the author sets up this new series of high octane thrillers with a bang.

On a snowy winter morning, an abandoned shipping container is discovered near Reykjavík. Inside are the bodies of five young women – one of them barely alive.
As Icelandic Police detective Daníel struggles to investigate the most brutal crime of his career, Áróra looks into the background of a suspicious man, who turns out to be engaged to Daníel’s former wife, and the connections don’t stop there…
Daníel and Áróra’s cases pit them both against ruthless criminals with horrifying agendas, while Áróra persists with her search for her missing sister, Ísafold, whose devastating disappearance continues to haunt her.
As the temperature drops and the 24-hour darkness and freezing snow hamper their efforts, their investigations become increasingly dangerous … for everyone.
Bestselling crime-writer Lilja Sigurðardóttir was born in the town of Akranes in 1972 and raised in Mexico, Sweden, Spain and Iceland. An award-winning playwright, Lilja has written ten crime novels, including Snare, Trap and Cage, making up the Reykjavík Noir trilogy, and her standalone thriller Betrayal, all of which have hit bestseller lists worldwide and been long- and shortlisted for multiple awards. The film rights for the Reykjavík Noir trilogy have been bought by Palomar Pictures in California. Cold as Hell, the first book in the An Áróra Investigation series, was published in the UK in 2021 and reprinted twice, and was followed by Red as Blood, a number-one digital bestseller. Lilja lives outside of Reykjavík with her partner and a brood of chickens.
My thoughts: a terrible crime scene inside a shipping container, the bodies of several young women, buried underneath them, a survivor. After surviving a harrowing journey, she could provide the key evidence to stop a human trafficking ring run by Russian gangsters in Iceland.
Is there a connection between this awful case and Daniel’s ex-wife’s new boyfriend? Àróra is looking into him, as she turns out to be related to the woman in question too – is Iceland really that small?
This is an incredibly awful crime – Bola has been through a horrific experience but maybe now, with Helena’s help she might be able to start to recover and find a safe place to begin her life again.
Written with great sensitivity and detail, this might be Daniel’s hardest case yet, and his children are staying too. Luckily he has a marvellous helper in the drag queen who lives in his garden.
It also means Àróra has to put the search for her sister on hold – there’s just not enough evidence and the trail grows colder. This case could bring her and Daniel closer together, as there’s nothing specifically personal about it.
Another masterful and compelling addition to the series, once again tackling complex themes and injustices.

London, October 1922. When Marjorie Swallow attends her first Bloomsbury party, she worries the conversation will be over her head. But when the night ends in murder, she has more pressing concerns.
Was the culprit really the handsome young artist she danced the night away with? And why did so many people want Betty Norris dead? From the garden squares of Bloomsbury to the smart restaurants of Piccadilly and the seedy backstreets of Soho, apprentice detective Marjorie goes on a perilous hunt for the killer.
Blackmail in Bloomsbury brings 1920s London to life in a classic murder mystery.
Anna is a writer and journalist, living by the sea on the Kent coast.
Blackmail In Bloomsbury marks a new direction for Anna’s writing, switching from contemporary thrillers with a historical back-story into cosy historical mysteries. Anna is fascinated by the 1920s, a period of enormous social change that can seem both very modern and more than 100 years ago.
Anna enjoys research in the British Library, coastal walks, summer swimming and yoga on the beach. Blackmail In Bloomsbury is her fifth novel.
My thoughts: I must confess that I am on Anna’s ARC reader list, so I have read this delightful book several times now. But even if I wasn’t, this is a book that’s right up my street.
Historical crime fiction with a quirky and delightful female protagonist and her eccentric private investigator employer. Absolutely aimed at someone like me.
Bringing London in the 1920s brightly to life, with the fashions and cocktails of the age, as naive but determined to succeed Marjorie sets about investigating.
This series is only just beginning, and I am so excited to see where it goes. I love Marjorie, she’s naive about a lot but does understand people and it helps her get to the bottom of things. She’s a natural detective and her skills can only improve.
You can get a free short story about Marjorie and how she got her job if you sign up to Anna’s mailing list, which I also recommend.

A MISSING CHILD St Martin’s is shrouded in bitterly cold fog when Jade Minear and her twin brother, Ethan, are attacked in a field, late at night. Ethan manages to return home but the shocking events of Jade’s disappearance have rendered him mute.
A LONG-HELD GRUDGE On a small island where there are few places a child can hide, DI Ben Kitto must battle the elements to search for Jade. When his investigation reveals that the Minear family have many enemies on the island, Kitto grows increasingly worried that Jade is in danger.
A KILLER HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT . . . Meanwhile, someone on the island knows exactly where the girl is. Someone with a deep-seated hatred of Jade’s family. To find the truth, Kitto must investigate the lives of the people he has known all of his life. Because one of them is lying – and it isn’t long until a body is found . . .
My thoughts: families aren’t always the safe place they should be, and when Jade, one half of the Minear twins, goes missing at the height of her family’s busy flower harvest, secrets and suffering inside the family threatens to overflow.
Ben’s investigating brings him into close contact with Jade’s twin, Ethan, who communicates mainly through music, as Jade was his voice. Can Nina bring him out of his shell and help him tell Ben what happened and where his sister is?
Someone holds a grudge against the family, and Ben has to work through each member and their secrets, trying to find out who and why they hate the Minears so much. It gets pretty dark as more members come under attack, and the final revelation shatters some. But once again, Ben and his team work together to break through the tough hard knit community prejudices to solve a terrible crime, with reverberating consequences for the island.
REVENGE DI Ben Kitto made many enemies in his time working as an undercover officer for the Met police, none more ruthless and calculating than gang leader Craig Travis.
IS WORTH Travis has longed to make Kitto pay for his role in getting him convicted – and that day has finally arrived. Now, a dark and twisted killer is heading for the Scilly Isles, one who has waited a long time for revenge.
WAITING FOR . . . With Kitto busy investigating the discovery of a body on the islands and distracted by the imminent arrival of his first child, his defences are down. He has so much to lose.
And Travis will stop at nothing to take it all from him.
My thoughts: before Ben returned to the Scillies, he worked undercover bringing down a criminal gangster, who is now dying in prison. The one person who loved that man the most is his daughter, and taking the lessons her father taught her, she has decided the time has come for revenge on those, like Ben, who betrayed him.
As she ticks off her list, travelling across England, with Ben last in her sights, she comes to the attention of the police. They want Ben on the mainland, but he knows he’s safer tucked away on an island, or is he?
Can he stop the killing, and will a different way of life stop Ruby from making any more mistakes?
This is definitely the most personal case Ben has investigated yet, the islanders have nothing to do with it, he’s brought this to them and with Nina and Shadow also potential victims, he has to stop the violence before they are harmed, or he is. The tension is incredible and the fact is that while being isolated on an island can be protection, it can also make you more vulnerable, cut off from help.

I have a gift. I see people as ghosts before they die. Of course, it helps that I’m the one killing them.
The night after her father’s funeral, Claire meets Lucas in a bar. Lucas doesn’t know it, but it’s not a chance meeting. One thoughtless mistyped email has put him in the crosshairs of an extremely put-out serial killer. But before they make eye contact, before Claire lets him buy her a drink, even before she takes him home and carves him up into little pieces, something about that night is very wrong. Because someone is watching Claire. Someone who is about to discover her murderous little hobby.
The thing is, it’s not sensible to tangle with a part-time serial killer, even one who is distracted by attending a weekly bereavement support group and trying to get her art career off the ground. Let the games begin…
Dexter meets Killing Eve in this superb thriller, perfect for fans of How To Kill Your Family and My Sister the Serial Killer.
Joanna Wallace worked as a solicitor until an autoimmune condition took away some of her sight. She now volunteers at a charity helpline and runs a family business with her husband. She was partly inspired to write You’d Look Better as A Ghost following her father’s diagnosis of early onset dementia. Joanna lives near London with her husband, four children and two dogs.
My thoughts: there’s a particular sub-genre of pitch black humour that really appeals to me, and this book has plenty of that. Is it the serial killer narrator? Is it the fact that her killings have no real overarching reasons? I don’t really know. I think I just enjoy the twisted darkness of these books a lot.
Claire kills people, people who annoy her, people who get in her way, there’s a man’s head in her fish tank, there’s probably several bodies in her garden. And the thing is, I get it. I have often become irrationally annoyed with people and wanted to kill them. I just haven’t acted on that impulse. Claire however, has no such qualms.
Unfortunately someone has been watching her, and so now they must die. And anyone involved in their scheme. Claire can’t have the police popping round.
Dark as Marmite and very much a book some people will hate, but I loved it. Yum.

Uncovering a web of conspiracy that intertwines past and present, can Lady Beatrice and DCI Richard Fitzwilliam catch a killer and unveil the truth of her husband’s death at long last?
BREAKING NEWS
Second Senior Police Officer Dies Within a Week A senior officer from the Protection and Investigations (Royal) Services died unexpectedly yesterday. His death comes hot on the heels of Detective Inspector Ethan Preece (43) from City Police, who died of a suspected heart attack last week. Although he’s not yet been named, the dead officer was a greatly respected public figure, who had served in policing for over thirty years. A PaIRS spokesperson has confirmed that ‘neither men’s death is being treated as suspicious at this time’.
With the senior PaIRS officer dead, so is any hope of reopening the inquiry into Lady Beatrice’s husband’s accident fifteen years ago. Unless, of course, there is something that links the two men to the earl’s fatal car crash? Can she and Fitzwilliam, along with their friends, work together to unravel the mystery and catch a killer before the truth is buried forever?
Hello. I’m Helen Golden. I write British contemporary cozy whodunnits with a hint of humour. I live in a small village in Lincolnshire in the UK with my husband, my step-daughter, her two cats, our two dogs, sometimes my step-son, and our tortoise. I used to work in senior management, but after my recent job came to a natural end I had the opportunity to follow my dreams and start writing. It’s very early in my life as an author, but so far I’m loving it. It’s crazy busy at our house, so when I’m writing I retreat to our caravan (an impulsive lockdown purchase) which is mostly parked on our drive. When I really need total peace and quiet, I take it to a lovely site about 15 minutes away and hide there until my family runs out of food or clean clothes
My thoughts: this series just gets better and better, and finally Lady Bea might just get some answers to the mysterious death of her husband fifteen years ago – or not. As two of the police officers with links to the case die one another the other – of suspected sudden heart attacks but DCI Fitzwilliam doesn’t believe in coincidences.
Digging into the deaths, and armed with some interesting ideas from the autopsy, he’s pretty sure there’s foul play afoot. But does it have to do with the investigation into the past or is it something else?
Bea is also dealing with moving back into the Dower House, the home she left pregnant and widowed, for her parents’, but now, with her son away during the week at school, it’s time. Or so she thinks, she just needs a spot of redecorating with Perry’s assistance and hopefully it will feel like home again, but minus any bad memories.
Another brilliant book and the title made me laugh. Intelligent and enjoyable, I can’t wait for the next one.

A gripping thriller starring Kate Daniels, who must make the connection between two seemingly unrelated grisly accidents…which may not be accidents at all.
Four a.m. on a wet stretch of the highway: a driver skids out of control. Quickly arriving on the scene, detective Kate Daniels and her partner, Hank Gormley, witness a horrifying display of carnage and mayhem that proves to be one of the worst traffic accidents in Northumberland’s history. But as the casualties mount, they soon realize that not all of the deaths occurred as a result of the accident …
At the same time, on the other side of town, a house goes up in flames and its two inhabitants become charred corpses. Except for the timing, there is no evidence to connect this incident with the traffic accident. But it soon becomes apparent that all is not what it seems, and that Kate and her colleagues are always one step behind a ruthless killer who will stop at nothing to get what they want.
My thoughts: a terrible accident on a wet road, a fire ripping through a family home, a man dropping dead of a heart attack. How can these be connected? DCI Kate Daniels and her team have their work cut out for them as the killer starts targeting the one witness who can link them to at least one or possibly more of these terrible crimes.
They’re looking for a chameleon – someone who can change their appearance at will, with dozens of aliases and absolutely no concern for other people. Totally ruthless, willing to kill an old lady in a car accident to steal a lottery ticket, manipulative and cruel. And worse of all, they wear a uniform – they could be a cop, a paramedic or in the fire service, one of their own.
It’s a race against time to find their suspect and bring them to justice, before they disappear and possibly to somewhere with no extradition treaty. They are happy to kill anyone that stands in their way. But Kate has to do this by the book. Will her one witness tell her who to look for?
Another heartpoundingly good case for the MIT as a series of apparently unconnected crimes all start to come together and bring the team to focus on one person, if they can get the evidence together to prove it.
Plus Kate’s messy personal life comes to the fore, as Jo issues an ultimatum and prepares to move on in her job if Kate can’t come out and be with her publicly. Then there’s the glamorous, no strings, artist she’s been flirting with. Can Kate choose love or will she loiter in the closet?
The next gripping novel by Mari Hannah. When the body of what appears to be an adult female is found on the Northumberland coastline, it is DCI Kate Daniels and her murder investigation team that are first on the scene. Then another body is discovered sitting side by side with the first, and suddenly everything changes. Why have they been placed together in such a desolate area beneath the walls of an imposing castle? Meanwhile prison psychologist Emily McCann is just returning to work after the death of her husband only to find herself the fixation of convicted sex offender Walter Fearon. As his mind games become more and more intense could it be possible what’s happening on the outside has something to do with his murderous past, and as his parole approaches what exactly does he plan for Emily? As Daniels’ investigation runs down dead end after dead end it becomes apparent that nothing is quite as it seems, and someone is hiding more than one deadly secret…
My thoughts: this starts with a strange discovery on a quiet beach, and requires a delve into the past for Kate and the team to find some answers, do the outfits the victims are wearing have anything to do with why they were killed?
Meanwhile Emily, a psychologist colleague of Jo’s at the prison is having something of a crisis, an inmate is due for release, and he’s obsessed with her, sending her into a tailspin. Does she have reason to be afraid?
As the two cases unfold and become more complicated, can the team solve them and continue their run or successes in keeping killers off the streets?
Another intelligent and complex crime thriller, with lots of twists and turns that hooked me and drew me back into Kate’s world.
