Here's my review of The Girl Before You, a psychological mystery-thriller in an academic setting by Nicola Rayner. This was one of my most longstanding NetGalley titles, so a great relief to be able to sign it off!

Here's my superlative-laden review of Notes on an Execution by Danya Kukafka. While it's not a mystery-thriller in the traditional sense, it does sit broadly within the genre. This book wasn't an easy read at times, but I found it extraordinarily evocative.

4.5 stars for this fantastic historical fiction
The Woman with the Blue Star by Pam JenoffMy review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I enjoyed Viet Thanh Nguyen's 2016 Pulitzer Prize winner, The Sympathizer, but the political and philosophical arguments got the better of me in his follow-up, The Committed. He's an excellent, smart writer - and funny (a Chinese guy called Le Cao Boi wishes he were American).
DNF @ 39% My comments on The Committed
The Second Sight of Zachary Cloudesley is an entertaining debut by Sean Lusk which has some history, some magic, and exotic locales (think sultan and harem!) so I can see a real fan base for this when it comes out in June.
3.5★ My review of Second Sight of Zachary...
Crime fiction with horses and hats. 4 stars from 5

Where Serpents Sleep is number 4 in the engaging Sebastian St. Cyr historical mystery series. London 1812. Lord Devlin is teamed up with the daughter of Lord Jarvis, his nemesis. Full of action, history and humour.
4.5★ My review of Where Serpents Sleep
I enjoyed this cosy type mystery with interesting characters,
The Shadow of Memory by Connie Berry. However, although it worked well as a stand alone, it is fourth in the series so now I really want to read the first three. review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
