Review: Quiet Bones

Quiet Bones by Sarah Ward
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

a brilliant second book in the series of Carla James, leading to more action in Jericho. I enjoy the mix of the past with the present and referencing old rituals.

This fast-paced thriller kept me hooked, I hope there's more to come from this series.

Review: Into the Fire

Into the Fire by G.D. Wright
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Release Date: 5th June 2025

HE RUNS INTO THE FLAMES A HERO. HE EMERGES FROM THE ASHES A SUSPECT.

GD Wright has done it again, with his second novel. What a punch of a book this is!

I love how this book evokes strong emotions and keeps you hooked, but in a totally different way to After the Storm.

When Steve goes into a fire and comes out a hero, he struggles to come to terms with this new title and all the attention that comes with it, but the tides quickly turn when he comes out a suspect...

G.D Wright is the master of getting to the heart of a matter in a really human way, with so much raw emotion, I felt it all as I read along and this book will also stay with me. What a triumph of a book, that isn't straight forward nor predictable.

I'm excited to see where book 3 goes.

Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for this ARC.

Review: Why Can't I Just Enjoy Things?: A Comedian's Guide to Autism

Why Can't I Just Enjoy Things?: A Comedian's Guide to Autism by Pierre Novellie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Released: 18th July 2024

A wonderfully written and read book, that I listened to with my husband who we suspect has autism, so this was such a great listen for us to learn more and recognise similarities whilst also being entertaining and humorous.

A must-read for everyone, especially neurotypicals as it would help give them some great insights and hopefully empathy towards those with different needs to their own.

I highly recommend this as a great way to learn, as Pierre is a wonderful comedian who brings those dry facts to life and makes them accessible.

Review: No One Was Supposed to Die at This Wedding

No One Was Supposed to Die at This Wedding by Catherine Mack
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A brilliantly witty sequel to 'Everytime I go on Vacation, Someone Dies'

I enjoy reading the world through Eleanor Dash's sarcastic view point, it feels like you're being let in on a secret.

This is a great, locked room style whodunnit that is easy to read.

A great summer read, for cosy mystery lovers.
