I was wavering between 2-3 stars for Cold Fear by Mads Peder Nordbo, and sitting on my review for a few days went in the book's favour.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

My review of The Things We Cannot Say by Kelly Rimmer
5 stars

Atlantic Winds by William Prendiville is a novella about teens growing up on a small Canadian island. Reviews range from TERRIFIC to meh. That means: try it - you may love it!
3.5★ Link to my review
I think Aussie author Heather Morris's popular The Tattooist of Auschwitz, based on a true Holocaust survivor story, has probably introduced a new generation of readers to the reality of Hitler's Nazis.

Here's my review for The Weekend by AA Charlotte Wood. If anyone's looking for a Christmas book for an upcoming challenge, this could be a good, short-ish candidate.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
My review of Metropolis by the late Philip Kerr, read as part of a challenge (one-word title).https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
It's a while since I read any Nicci French books (I do have a bunch of them in my TBR), but when The Lying Room appeared on NetGalley, I thought I'd grab it. It's a murder mystery, I didn't expect to laugh so much.5★s

I recently finished The Best Kind of Beautiful by Frances Whiting
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I loved it and wonder if it will be one of my favourites for the year
All Eyes on Us by Kit Frick was a quick lil trashy teen thriller with some sneaky heart-wrenching themes.

Christmas on the Isle of Skye by Kirsty Ferryhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I'm not really one for politics, but Tony Jones does make it very readable. In Darkness Visible is the sequel to The Twentieth Man but can easily be read stand-alone. 5★s

You say it can be read as a standalone, but should it be? Will I enjoy it more if I read The Twentieth Man first?
To finish off the week I found yet another lemon, I seem to be on a losing streak :DTHE MYSTERIOUS LADY M. OF ST. LUCIA: Secrets of the Island Sanctuary by Dee Tezelli

Andrea wrote: "Marianne wrote: "I'm not really one for politics, but Tony Jones does make it very readable. In Darkness Visible is the sequel to The Twentieth Man..."Andrea, there are some spoilers for The Twentieth Man in this one, and the main characters in In Darkness Visible first appear in that book, which is an excellent read too, so if you plan to read both, then definitely in order, but there's enough recap that you won't have to. To answer your question: probably....
Thanks to Sapere Books and NetGalley for this anthology of Christmassy tales: Midwinter Mysteries: A Christmas Crime Anthology. Of the 11 stories, of course I think the Josef Slonský one is the best, but then I am biased: Josef Slonský is my favourite Czech detective. The rest are excellent little bites of other series, so I gave it 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
