Here’s my list for June: The Elizabeth Tudor Conspiracy by Alexandra Walsh The second in the Marquess House conspiracy thriller trilogy set in the present day and the medieval era. This series presents an alternative view on what may or may not have happened during that time. What if Elizabeth I was...

I’ve just started Murder at the Races by Carmen Radtke , a murder mystery set in the 1930s. I’m also reading via Pigeonhole Execution by S J Parris . It’s the sixth in the Giordano Bruno historical thrillers set in the Elizabethan era. I haven’t read the previous books although I have some on my TBR...

I’ve just started Biloxi by Mary Miller, a contemporary story about a man who takes in a dog after his wife leaves him. I enjoy books about animals.

I’m also reading via Pigeonhole The Perfect Life by Valerie Keogh, a psychological thriller. It started off slow but it’s now picked up pace.

I’m now reading The Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker, a bit of Greek mythology, about Achilles and Briseis. It’s my f2f book group read. I’m enjoying it so far.

I’m reading A Children’s Bible by Lydia Millet, an apocalyptic style story. It’s a bit different!

I’m also reading The Last Wife by Karen Hamilton bia Pigeonhole. It’s a contemporary psychological thriller. Just two staves in so far and enjoying it.

I’ve just started Mr Golightly’s Holiday by Salley Vickers, a modern day drama.

Master Mercurius is a cleric from Leiden University and he is asked to travel to Delft to investigate the murder of a young girl and also the abduction of two others. I enjoyed...

I’m reading The First Lady by James Patterson with my local book group. The theme was politics and this is the book which won in our poll. It wasn’t my nomination, I must say. However, it’s fast paced and easy to read. Definitely what I would call a beach read, not that we can go to the beach at the...

Here’s my list for April: Buried by Lynda La Plante The first in a gripping new series featuring DC Jack Warr, a policeman with a hidden past. A dead body, a stash of stolen cash and a burnt out cottage is at the heart of this mystery, a mystery which has links to an event which happened 30 years ag...
