Precious Thing
by Colette McBeth
Precious Thing (1/6/2014)
This book has it all. Female friendships and their complexities. Do we ever know everything about our friends? It is suspenseful and compelling to read. The author was a BBC crime reporter and if the storyline of this novel is any indication, she knows her stuff. I highly recommend this book.
The Shock of The Fall: (originally published in hardcover in USA as Where the Moon Isn't)
by Nathan Filer
Like nothing I've read (10/9/2013)
This left me stunned in a good way. Sad and frightening in such a beautiful way. I was touched and had so many emotions rushing through me while reading. You won't be able to stop reading this book and will be sad when it's over.
The Edge of Normal
by Carla Norton
Grabs you from the beginning and doesn't let you go (7/9/2013)
I am an avid reader of thrillers and this one of the best I have read. It is obvious the author is an expert in the field of abduction and the psychological terrors suffered by victims. I know there are many novels written in this genre, but this does stand apart. It's truly a roller coaster ride. I read another series of books which were similar but different in style and prose. You might want to try those as well, the Gretchen Lowell series.
