SYNOPSIS

THE RETURN OF FIN MACLEOD, PETER MAY’S MUCH-LOVED HERO OF THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING LEWIS TRILOGY.

A MURDER

The body of eighteen-year-old TV personality Caitlin is found abandoned on a remote beach at the head of An Loch Dubh – the Black Loch – on the west coast of the Isle of Lewis. A swimmer and canoeist, it is inconceivable that she could have drowned.

A SECRET

Fin Macleod left the island ten years earlier to escape its memories. When he learns that his married son Fionnlagh had been having a clandestine affair with the dead girl and is suspected of her murder, he and Marsaili return to try and clear his name.

A RECKONING

But nothing is as it seems, and the truth of the murder lies in a past that Fin would rather forget, and a tragedy at the cages of a salmon farm on East Loch Roag, where the tense climax of the story finds its resolution.

The Black Loch takes us on a journey through family ties, hidden relationships and unforgiving landscapes, where suspense, violent revenge and revelation converge in the shadow of the Black Loch.

MY REVIEW

What a fabulous book! I couldn’t read it quickly enough!

This is the third book I have read by this author. What a talent. I’ll be reading the first three in this series without a doubt as I loved Fin, now ex police, and I want to get to know him as he was in his earlier life as a police officer.

Fin returns to his roots on the Isle of Lewis when his son is arrested for murder. Using his skills as an ex policeman, he begins to investigate the death of Caitlin whose body was found on the beach. Clearly this is a small island where everyone knows everyone else’s business and he reacquaints himself with some of his childhood friends. Not all of them are particularly friendly now and resent his presence as father of the murderer. 

This is a story of secrets, lies, family bonds, friendships, bullying, and of course murder. Everything in the mix to produce an addictive thriller. There is also the addition of environmental issues which Peter has thoroughly researched and which add more depth to this story. He has cleverly woven these into the plotline. There is the heartbreaking beaching of a pod of whales, based on an actual event, and an unsettling delve into the huge business of salmon farming. Having read a few years ago about how bad the conditions are at salmon farms I eat wild salmon now, and so will you after reading this!

I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the characters, and the flashbacks to the relevant events in their youth which have have made them the adults they are today. The relationships. The young boys who think they are invincible. The mothers looking back on their lives and wondering what they would have done differently. 

A superb fast paced thriller by a hugely talented man.

Many thanks to Poppy and Sophie at Ransom PR for my spot on the blog tour and my hardback copy of the book.

MY REVIEW

Have you ever wanted to actually be that character you have created in your RPG, and live in that world? Well, in New Rock, New Role you can get an idea of how that would go.

When a trio of gamers, Pilgrimz of Pain – real identities unknown to each other – win an online RPG gaming championship, they find themselves transported into another world. As their avatars.

We only know the real identity of the narrator – ‘Daxx’ – the team’s battlemage-slash-healer. He is an ageing, balding, former teacher and now hardcore gamer who spends all his time gaming, as life in his games is far more exciting than his own life. Be careful what you wish for!

Daxx finds himself in a strange world as his character but with none of his character’s abilities. He must learn those skills from scratch whilst simultaneously hoping to find his two friends, ‘Grell’ who has designed his avatar to be a fighting orc and ‘Qrysta’ a skilled fighter, and working out why and how they are all here.

What a fantastic world Richard Sparks has created! Great characters, some with hilarious (and very adult!) names, great descriptions of the world and plenty of laugh out loud moments throughout this very cleverly plotted fantasy with everything I want in a fantasy novel – including witches and magic. And miniatures dragons. And a wooden staff which can communicate with its holder. And lots more.

There were plenty of fights and battles along the way as our trio develop their crafts and weapons and they are so well described I felt I was there watching. Bit freaked out about those cobwebs and spiders though!

It is an impressive chunk of a book which I got completely engrossed in, and although I couldn’t wait to find out how and why the three players had been transported into this world I also didn’t want it to end. The author simultaneously wrapped it up satisfactorily and left me wanting more! So glad there are three more books to come in this series as I’ll be reading them. 

Passing this on to my daughter who is a gamer and also loves fantasy novels so I know she’s also going to love this.

Book two, New Rock New Realm, is due out in November.

Huge thanks to Richard for sending me a copy of your book which I have reviewed honestly. You have gained a new fan!

SYNOPSIS

A bond that even time cannot break
Storm Berger has never forgiven himself for his younger sister Madison’s disappearance. Suspecting she’s travelled back to the ninth century in the footsteps of other family members, Storm can only make sure she’s safe by going after her.

Raised unconventionally as her father’s only child, Freydis has never been content to simply accept her fate. So, when she’s promised in marriage to a tyrant, she’s determined to find a way out of the
arrangement. Help comes in the form of a mysterious and attractive stranger stranded on her island’s shores: Storm.

The only way Freydis can truly be free is for Storm to marry her himself. But that would mean entwining lives that, until now, have been separated by centuries. . .

MY REVIEW

I absolutely adore Christina’s Runes series and am sad that this is the final book. I would love to revisit the family in a few years to see how they are all getting on in the ninth century!

As soon as I started the book I was transported back to the Viking world. 

Storm feels responsible that his younger sister disappeared without trace a few months ago, but the family is known to time travel and he is convinced that is what she has done. Finding his own magical object he travels back to the ninth century to find her and make sure she is ok. 

We travel with Storm as he quickly settles into his new life, saving a girl from marriage to a particularly nasty man, and accidentally finding himself married. 

I just love Christina’s writing which completely absorbs me, and I love reading about life in the ninth century. I enjoyed seeing the dramatic difference with how we live now through the eyes of a woman  Storm brings back to our time too! We take so much for granted.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every book in this series and am excited to read what Christina writes next.

SYNOPSIS

Three women. One Killer.
Talking to strangers has never been more dangerous…

When forty-four-year-old Karen Simmons is found lifeless, abandoned in remote woodland, journalist Kiki Nunn is determined to beat every other reporter to the story. 

And she already has a head start. Just days before Karen’s murder, Kiki interviewed her about the highs and lows of mid-life romance. Karen told her about the expensive gifts and the starlit rendezvous. About the scammers and the creeps… 

While police stay focused on local suspects, Kiki starts to write the definitive piece on one woman’s fatal search for love. But she will soon learn that the search for truth can be just as deadly…

MY REVIEW

A brilliantly plotted thriller with so many dodgy characters. Dark and fast paced I couldn’t whiz through those pages quickly enough. It really makes you think of the dangers some people put themselves in when meeting strangers irl after they met through dating apps. Although there are plenty of success stories too – but not in this story.

A woman found murdered in the local woods brings back memories of a child murdered in the same woods 14 years ago. 

The child’s mother is taken back to the murder of her beloved son and feels she must revisit his murder as she has questions which need answers, but what she finds out will change her life.

Kiki the reporter is at her wits end trying to find a story to give her waning career a boost and senses this murder will be a game changer for her, but to get a good story she is going to immerse herself into the dark and sometimes very dangerous world of dating apps. There is a secret group of misogynistic men who share details of their conquests online in their chat group using pseudonyms, and Kiki begins to uncover their real identities.

Elise the DI investigating the murder of the woman is struggling to recover from breast cancer and is feeling lonely and vulnerable. But there is a new neighbour who wants to get to know her better. 

Such a page turner with so many twists and so many suspects I didn’t know who to put my money on!

Publisher: Boldwood Books

SYNOPSIS

Now: When Adrianna arrives at the small, run-down cottage, near the sea in rural Norfolk, she can’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Here she can forget her life in the city, and the problems she’s left behind there, at least for a while.

But – like Adrianna herself – the cottage holds secrets. And when Adrianna finds a mysterious bundle of notes hidden under a floorboard, she can’t shake the idea that they’ve been waiting for her. Especially when – in the rambling, overgrown garden – she then finds a strangely-carved stone, drawing her into a centuries-old mystery…

1646: Between her work as the village midwife and the medicines she sells from her cottage, Ursula has no need for a man. But this ideal leaves her unprotected in a world where just one accusation of witchcraft can mean certain death. So when she catches the eye of a powerful new local doctor, she must use every part of her cunning, or risk becoming his prisoner…

Can the two women – their paths bound by place and history – each find the keys to their own destiny?

MY REVIEW

Clare excels in writing historical fiction dual timeline / timeslip novels. This time we travel back and forth between 1646, when England was in the midst of witch trial hysteria, and the present time, and we get to know two women centuries apart but who are being manipulated by controlling men.

In 1646, Ursula lives alone in a very basic cottage. Her mother died at the hands of her father and Ursula has sworn never to be in a position where a man can use and ill-treat her. She earns the small amount of money she needs to survive as a midwife and she also grows her own plants to make herbal remedies to sell to treat her friends and neighbours. When the new doctor unexpectedly visits her home, and in no uncertain terms tells her he wants her to be his mistress, she refuses. He is not happy and tells her if she does not change her mind he will ruin her life. He begins setting in motion his plan to out her as a witch.

In the present day, and at the suggestion of her – unawares to her – controlling and manipulative boyfriend, Adrianna is taking a six month sabbatical from her high pressure London job. She finds an old run down cottage near the sea in Norfolk and moves in.

When Adrianna finds a pile of old papers hidden under the floorboards she begins to learn about the life of a woman who lived in the cottage centuries earlier and experiences strange feelings, breezes, shadows possibly from ghosts of the past.

Both stories are incredibly captivating. I was completely gripped by the lives of these women, and I was hoping for a good ending for them both. The spooky atmosphere and the detailed descriptions of how Ursula lived in the 1646 storyline had me right in the middle of the action. And those birds!

The witch trials were horrifying. Innocent women being put to death. One of the characters in the book was based on a real person, Matthew Hopkins the Witchfinder General.

A fantastic read I flew through I just couldn’t put it down.

I’m delighted to be sharing my review today as part of the blog tour arranged by Rachel’s Random Resources.

SYNOPSIS

Sleuth and illusionist Joseph Spector investigates his most complex case yet in this gripping new locked-room murder mystery, set in an English country house just before the Second World War.

Hampshire, 1938. When prominent judge Sir Giles Drury starts receiving sinister letters, his wife suspects Victor Silvius, a man confined to a sanatorium after attacking Sir Giles. Meanwhile, Silvius’ sister Caroline is convinced her brother is about to be murdered… by none other than his old nemesis Sir Giles Drury. 

Caroline seeks the advice of Scotland Yard’s Inspector Flint, while the Drurys, eager to avoid a scandal, turn to Joseph Spector. Spector, renowned magician turned sleuth, has an uncanny knack for solving complicated crimes – but this case will test his powers of deduction to their limits. 

At a snowbound English country house, a body is found is impossible circumstances. Spector and Flint’s investigations collide as they find themselves trapped by the snowstorm where anyone could be the next victim – or the killer…

MY REVIEW

I’m so happy to be on the blog tour for the latest locked room mystery from one of the best locked room mystery authors I have read.

If you have read either of Tom’s previous books, you already know you are in for a tantalising story of murder most foul. The books all feature Spector and Flint, two characters who work so well together.

Tom is an amazing ‘locked room’ author. I have no idea how he comes up with such intricately devised plots. The perfect Golden Age mystery and fans of Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes will feel right at home.

In this outing, set in 1938, we have a particularly dodgy set of characters. Lots of murders. Mostly apparently unexplainable. But, we have illusionist extraordinaire Spector helping Scotland Yard’s Inspector Flint get to the bottom of the murders.

I love a good murder mystery set in an old mansion in the snow. Tick, tick and tick again.

After a rather gruesome discovery of a body in a suitcase, which someone clearly did not want to be identified, the plot gets deliciously twisty and there are plenty of red herrings to keep the reader on their toes!

I enjoyed the summary speech at the end and was kicking myself that I had failed to recognise so many seemingly minor details as clues which were very relevant!

Thoroughly enjoyable old fashioned detective work and puzzle solving at its best.

Thank you Sophie and Poppy at Ransom PR for my spot on the blog tour.

SYNOPSIS

The Sanatorium took you to the Alps and chilled you to the bone. Now, The Wilds will take you deep into the woods . . . and out there, it’s easy to get lost.

After the dark events that scarred her childhood, Kier Templer escaped her hometown and twin to live her life on the road. They’ve never lost contact until, on a trip to a Portuguese national park, Kier vanishes without a trace.

Detective Elin Warner arrives in the same park ready to immerse herself in its vast wilderness – only to hear about Kier’s disappearance, and discover a disturbing map she left behind. The few strangers at the isolated camp close ranks against her questions, and the park’s wild beauty starts to turn sinister.

Elin must untangle the clues to find out what really happened to Kier. But when you follow a trail, you have to be careful to watch your back…

MY REVIEW

Another wonderfully atmospheric thriller from Sarah Pearse.

I read and thoroughly enjoyed an ARC of The Sanitorium where we were introduced to Elin. This is book three in the trilogy although can be read as a standalone.

Elin has travelled to Portugal with her brother, Isaac, to get away from it all by staying in a caravan in a National Park and to reconnect with each other. However, Isaac has other ideas as he is helping a friend to try to find out what happened to his sister, Kier, who disappeared in 2018 from this same National Park, where she was staying in her caravan. He asks for his detective sister’s help. Elin soon gets

There are a handful of people living at the nearby campsite who are clearly hiding something. Do they know what happened to Kier?

The story is told over two timelines where we follow Kier and her horribly controlling boyfriend in 2018 then Elin and Isaac in 2021.

I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough as the tension built towards the end. A brilliant and unpredictable ending!

Thank you to Little Brown for granting my request to read the book via NetGalley.

MY REVIEW

I absolutely love Rosie’s books and having read the other two of the Sunshine Sisters trilogy I was really looking forward to the final sister’s story.

This series is always such a joy to read.

I don’t know how Rosie consistently comes up with such delightful stories which are so easy to read I usually read them in one sitting.

This was my favourite of The Sunshine Sisters trilogy. We follow Blossom as she navigates another failed romance and finally finds out who her father is.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Rosie has been scribbling stories ever since she was little. Back then, they were rip-roaring adventure tales with a young heroine in perilous danger of falling off a cliff or being tied up by ‘the baddies’. Thankfully, Rosie has moved on somewhat, and now much prefers to write romantic comedies that melt your heart and make you smile, with really not much perilous danger involved at all – unless you count the heroine losing her heart in love.

Rosie’s Little Duck Pond Cafe series of novellas is centred around life in a village cafe and each book can be read as a stand-alone story. 

New for 2024: The Sunshine Sisters – an exciting new trilogy, part of the Little Duck Pond Café series: Aurora, Skye and Blossom. (These three books are best read in order.)
