The lost man by Jane harper
Cold Bones by David Mark.

The Seagull by Ann Cleeves
The Blue Bench by Paul Marriner
The Sixteen Trees of the Somme by Lars Mytting – a truly epic and atmospheric family saga.

Blackberry and Wild Rose by Sonia Velton. Absorbing historical fiction set in the silk weaving industry of Spitalfields in 1768.
Malevolence by F.R. Donaldson- a really interesting storyline with believable characters and a fantastic setting!
Red Snow by Will Dean. Great, quirky characters, great atmosphere, and a real sense of place.

Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine
Just finished Dreaming of Tuscany and loved it.
I ve just finished Unsheltered by Barbara Kingsolver. It certainly wasn’t an easy read, but very worthwhile.
Kingdom of the Blind by Louise Penny
Written in my own heart’s blood the latest by Diana Gabaldon
I have just finished ‘The Choice’ by Edith Egar, about her experience of Auschwitz & her struggle to leave behind the traumas she endured & not become a victim of them.
Very timely, as it’s Holocaust Memorial Day today.
The Killing Place by Tess Gerritsen was really good x
The Chalk Man by C J Tudor, set nowhere exotic…just a sleepy English village, this book travels through time rather than distance. I couldn’t get it out of my head & reread it twice.
