You Me Her

Sue Watson

Thriller

Standalone

Our review: A woman and her husband move house and then his ex colleague Chloe infiltrates their marriage, but for what reason? Bunny boiler vives abound in this twists and turns thriller.

The writing is sound and the prose lacks finesse but this doesn’t detract as it keeps the story moving forward at a nice pace.

Real page-turning stuff.

Aimed at women in their 30’s & 40’s.

Our review: A crime thriller. A Scottish detective living in London is chasing a serial killer but the plot takes a twist when the killer himself turns up dead.

The Snowdonia Killings

Simon McCleave

Thriller

Series 1/20

Our review: Set in beautiful Wales, fifty-year-old DI Ruth has a seemingly occult murder to solve.

The writing is sound if a tiny bit laboured in prose. The characters are excellent and the plot equally so. The authenticity of the main character comes through and you very much feel she’s a real DI.

Authentic detective.

Can be read as a standalone.

Book cover for 'The Snowdonia Killings' by Simon McCleave, featuring a snow-covered mountain landscape and a winding road, with the title in bright yellow letters and the author's name in white.
