If you like well researched historical events, you might enjoy this account of a true crime, the trial of a 13y old boy in 1895 for murdering his mother, his time in Broadmoor and his subsequent life in Australia as a soldier who served in Gallipoli and at the Somme. The Wicked Boy: The Mystery of a Victorian Child Murderer by Kate Summerscale 4★

Read this one, and a number of her others quite a few years ago, and enjoyed them. The ones that have stayed in my memory are The Sculptressand
The Scold's Bridle
4★ for Don't Say a Word by Jennifer Jaynes. This is the 3rd book in a series, but all three are good stand-alone mysteries. There's just enough background to help readers, but there's no need to have read previous books.My review

I finished The Girl In The Ice by Robert Bryndza 4★A good start to a new series featuring an interesting DCI, Erika Foster. Lovers of Angela Marsons will probably enjoy this.

4.5★ Really liked Jaye Ford's suspenseful Darkest Place. Carly's got some dark secrets, the place she's moved to has some dark secrets, and she thinks she's being stalked - or going nuts. A good, well-written page-turner. Good characters, too.

I reckon I'm getting better at deciding what to read, as for me, all three that I've just read were worthy of five stars:

Liked this one, not loved as I usually do Harlan Coben. My review for Stay Close:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Currently just over half way on The King of Lies, enjoying it as he's a new (to me) author. I think though after this one I will read something other than a thriller. Have read Harlan Coben quite a bit lately and it might be nice for a change.
Currently reading a couple of books.The Martian (Sci fi )
Deadly Bonds by LJ Sellers
I Always have one that I read and one going on audible as I do a lot of driving.
Cheers

My review for Death by Chocolate by Sally Berneathy
It has a cat in it who plays a significant role. I should have saved it for the Winter Challenge:)

Not as good as You in my opinion, perhaps because we know the main character too well and he is no longer as shocking.
