My Friday Five Challenge…

     

As a fan of Rosie Amber, I was intrigued to read her post about the #FridayFiveChallenge.


So I grabbed myself a cup of coffee and had a go. I had five minutes…
1)      Go to any online book supplier,2)      Randomly choose a category,3)      Speed through the book covers, choose one which grabbed my attention,4)      Read the book bio/description for this book,5)      If there are reviews, check out a couple,6)      Make an instant decision, would I BUY or PASS?(then write a little analysis about my decision)
Coincidentally, at the time, I was looking for inspiration for my sister Jaye’s WIP. She needed to be sure her cover and title were up to scratch, and the best place to check these out, I have found, is the bestseller list on Amazon.com.Several covers caught my eye, but the only one that really spoke to me, was Rachel Abbott’s ‘Sleep Tight’ .

Book description
How far would you go to hold on to the people you love?

When Olivia Brookes calls the police to report that her husband and children are missing, she believes she will never see them again. She has reason to fear the worst; this isn’t the first tragedy that Olivia has experienced. Now, two years later, Detective Chief Inspector Tom Douglas is called in to investigate this family again, but this time it’s Olivia who has disappeared. All the evidence suggests that she was here, in the family home, that morning.

But her car is in the garage, and her purse is in her handbag – on the kitchen table. The police want to issue an appeal, but for some reason every single picture of this family has been removed from albums, from phones, from computers.

And then they find the blood…

Has the past caught up with Olivia?

Sleep Tight – if you can. You never know who’s watching.

I checked out some of the reviews and most said they loved it. One or two said there wasn’t enough action, more of a dark psychological mystery, but this was fine by me, as that’s how I like them.
My time had run out… would I BUY or PASS?(No contest really, this book had me written all over it.)
Analysis
I loved the cover, something very enticing about the open window. The title was perfect for a mystery thriller too and the book description clinched it.Having read both of Rachel’s previous books, I didn’t need much persuading, to be honest.The price was a little more than I usually pay for a kindle book, but I will BUY this book.
