My second day nine #Bookvent selections comes from the Highlands - Inverness to be precise. @highlandwriter’s #whatLiesBuried, the second Lukas Mahler book. Taking an emotional toll on both the characters and the reader this books drew me right in and had me on edge. . A missing child. A seventy-year-old murder. And a killer who's still on the loose. Ten year-old Erin is missing; taken in broad daylight during a friend's birthday party. With no witnesses and no leads, DI Lukas Mahler races against time to find her. But is it already too late for Erin - and will her abductor stop at one stolen child? And the discovery of human remains on a construction site near Inverness confronts Mahler's team with a cold case from the 1940s. Was Aeneas Grant's murder linked to a nearby POW camp, or is there an even darker story to be uncovered? With his team stretched to the limit, Mahler's hunt for Erin's abductor takes him from Inverness to the Lake District. And decades-old family secrets link both casesin a shocking final twist. . #booklove @orionbooks #lovebooks #books #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookblogger #bookblog #bookblogging #bookvent2019
A double header of #Bookvent selections today representing the Highlands and Islands of Scotland because I loved them both and couldn’t pick. First up is the fabulous Time Gor The Dead by @linandersonwriter which sees Rhona MacLeod investigating a murder on the Isle of Skye. With action moving between Skye and Afghanistan, this is a troubling and emotional tale. . When forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod returns to her roots on Scotland’s Isle of Skye, a chance encounter in the woods behind a nearby activities centre leads her to what seems to be a crime scene, but without a victim. Could this be linked to a group of army medics, who visited the centre while on leave from Afghanistan and can no longer be located on the island? Enlisting the help of local tracker dog Blaze, Rhona starts searching for a connection. Two days later a body is found at the base of the famous cliff known as Kilt Rock, face and identity obliterated by the fall, which leads Rhona to suspect the missing medics may be on the island for reasons other than relaxation. Furthermore, elements of the case suggests a link with an ongoing operation in Glasgow, which draws DS Michael McNab into the investigation. As the island’s unforgiving conditions close in, Rhona must find out what really happened to the group in Afghanistan, as the consequences may be being played out in brutal killings on Skye . . . . #booklove #lovebooks #bookvent2019 #bookstagram #bookstagrammer @panmacmillan #bookblog #bookblogging #bookblogger #books
Today’s #bookvent2019 selection is a book I read back in the summer that drew me in completely from the start. Set against the back drop of the seven seven bombings in London this book is emotional, tense and completely absorbing. It’s nearly impossible to put my finger on why I loved it, I just know I did. . Every year, on the same night in July, a woman is taken from the streets of London; snatched by a killer who moves through the city like a ghost. Addie has a secret. On the morning of her tenth birthday, four bombs were detonated across the capital. That night her dad came home covered in blood. She thought he was hurt in the attacks - but then her sister Jessie found a missing woman's purse hidden in his room. Jessie says they mustn't tell. She says there's nothing to worry about. But when she takes a job looking after the woman's baby daughter, Addie starts to realise that her big sister doesn't always tell her the whole story. And that the secrets they're keeping may start costing lives . . . . @headlinebooks #booklove #bookvent2019 #lovebooks #books #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookblog #bookblogging #bookblogger
Today’s #Bookvent selection is the second in the Washington Poe series by @m.w.craven - #BlackSummer. I live the blend of thrills, mystery and dark humour in this and rushed through it in one afternoon. Poe and Tilly really are one of my favourite crime fighting duo’s. . After The Puppet Show, a new storm is coming . . . Jared Keaton, chef to the stars. Charming. Charismatic. Psychopath . . . He's currently serving a life sentence for the brutal murder of his daughter, Elizabeth. Her body was never found and Keaton was convicted largely on the testimony of Detective Sergeant Washington Poe. So when a young woman staggers into a remote police station with irrefutable evidence that she is Elizabeth Keaton, Poe finds himself on the wrong end of an investigation, one that could cost him much more than his career. Helped by the only person he trusts, the brilliant but socially awkward Tilly Bradshaw, Poe races to answer the only question that matters: how can someone be both dead and alive at the same time? And then Elizabeth goes missing again - and all paths of investigation lead back to Poe. The gripping new thriller in the Washington Poe series from M. W. Craven, winner of the CWA Gold Dagger Award for best crime novel of 2019. . @littlebrownbookgroup_uk #booklove #lovebooks #bookvent2019 #books #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookblog #bookblogger #bookblogging
