So I read Hydra and WOW, I think this is even better than Six Stories, which I already loved. It’s taking me a lot not to just binge the whole series because there’s something in them that is just perfect for my current reading mood. Hydra follows the “case” of Arla Macleod, who murdered her… Read More Book Review: Hydra by Matt Wesolowski
I think I found this book after rereading Rabbits and looking for more stories from podcasts. Or maybe stories like podcasts (especially since I really enjoyed Sadie!). I can’t remember where I heard of Six Stories but it sounded fascinating so I decided to try the first book. Spoiler: I was hooked! Six Stories is… Read More Book Review: Six Stories by Matt Wesolowski
After enjoying the second instalment of the Thursday Murder Club a lot more than I expected, I had pretty high hopes for The Bullet That Missed, which is the third book in the series. The Man Who Died Twice brought us deep into Elizabeth’s world and her dangerous past. In The Bullet That Missed, an… Read More Book Review: The Bullet That Missed by Richard Osman
This was another book club pick and I was pretty excited because Now You See Us promised to show Singapore through the eyes of a group of people that are ever present but whom we rarely hear from: the domestic helpers, specifically domestic helpers from Philippines. These are women who have left their homes to… Read More Book Review: Now You See Us by Balli Kaur Jaswal
It took a while, but I’ve read the next book in the Freida Klein series. Almost a year ago, I finished Tuesday’s Gone and decided that I was liking the series and wanted to read more. Following the days of the week, Waiting for Wednesday has Freida on the precipice of collapse. Hal Bradshaw has… Read More Book Review: Waiting for Wednesday by Nicci French
Given that I really enjoyed The Red Palace by June Hur, I made sure to borrow The Silence of Bones when I passed by a library that had it. The Silence of Bones was actually the June Hur book I originally intended to read, since CamilleaRead’s review of it intrigued me so much! Set a… Read More Book Review: The Silence of Bones by June Hur
I will be frank, I initially had no intention of reading The Man Who Died Twice because while the first book was fun, I had not followed the author and didn’t know the second book was already out, and anyway, I found the ending of the first book rather hard to follow and didn’t fancy… Read More Book Review: The Man Who Died Twice by Richard Osmand
What would you do if you found out that your father was a serial killer? And how would you respond when, twenty years later, young girls start to go missing again? A Flicker in the Dark is an exciting thriller that covers just that. When Chloe was twelve, girls started to go missing in her… Read More Book Review: A Flicker in the Dark by Stacy Willingham
I first saw The Twyford Code in a bookshop around the end of last year and the cover intrigued me. But since I’ve been pretty good with not buying books (I’m sorry, bookshops!), I recently ended up borrowing the book from the library. Told through a series of audio transcripts, The Twyford Code is the… Read More Book Review: The Twyford Code by Janice Hallett
I picked up this book mostly because I had a suspicion I would be caught in a very, very bad traffic jam and I wanted something to kill the time (I was right but I didn’t have as much opportunity to read). What I didn’t expect was that this book would be captivating and so… Read More Book Review: The Broken Girls by Simone St. James
