My second #Bookvent selection of the day is the authors first foray into the world of the psychological thriller. Full of family secrets, dark confessions and tense atmosphere, it is an award winning novel for@ a highly talented writer. @louisebeech13 is a beautiful writer but #CallMeStarGirl is the another step above. . Stirring up secrets can be deadly … especially if they’re yours… Pregnant Victoria Valbon was brutally murdered in an alley three weeks ago – and her killer hasn’t been caught. Tonight is Stella McKeever’s final radio show. The theme is secrets. You tell her yours, and she’ll share some of hers. Stella might tell you about Tom, a boyfriend who likes to play games, about the mother who abandoned her, now back after fourteen years. She might tell you about the perfume bottle with the star-shaped stopper, or about her father … What Stella really wants to know is more about the mysterious man calling the station … who says he knows who killed Victoria, and has proof. Tonight is the night for secrets, and Stella wants to know everything… With echoes of the Play Misty for Me, Call Me Star Girl is a taut, emotive and all-consuming psychological thriller that plays on our deepest fears, providing a stark reminder that stirring up dark secrets from the past can be deadly… . #bookvent2019 #booklove #lovebooks #books #bookblogger #bookblog #bookblogging #bookstagram #bookstagrammer @orendabooks
You have another #Bookvent double header today as I just couldn’t choose between themes first up is the third book in a series with seamlessly blends past and present, bringing to the fore a part of history that many readers will not be aware of. Dark, emotional and extraordinarily beautiful to read, @johanagustawsson’s #BloodSong is a must read for anyone who loves Roy and Castells. . Spain, 1938: The country is wracked by civil war, and as Valencia falls to Franco’s brutal dictatorship, Republican Therese witnesses the murders of her family. Captured and sent to the notorious Las Ventas women’s prison, Therese gives birth to a daughter who is forcibly taken from her. Falkenberg, Sweden, 2016: A wealthy family is found savagely murdered in their luxurious home. Discovering that her parents have been slaughtered, Aliénor Lindbergh, a new recruit to the UK’s Scotland Yard, rushes back to Sweden and finds her hometown rocked by the massacre. Profiler Emily Roy joins forces with Aliénor and soon finds herself on the trail of a monstrous and prolific killer. Little does she realise that this killer is about to change the life of her colleague, true-crime writer Alexis Castells. Joining forces once again, Roy and Castells’ investigation takes them from the Swedish fertility clinics of the present day back to the terror of Franco’s rule, and the horrifying events that took place in Spanish orphanages under its rule. Terrifying, vivid and recounted at breakneck speed, Blood Song is not only a riveting thriller and an examination of corruption in the fertility industry, but a shocking reminder of the atrocities of Spain’s dictatorship, in the latest, stunning instalment in the award-winning Roy & Castells series. . #bookvent2019 #booklove #lovebooks #books #bookblogging #bookblog #bookblogger #bookstagram #bookstagrammer @orendabooks
My day ten #Bookvent choice is the second in the Will Raven and Sarah Fisher series from #AmbroseParry, #TheArtOfDying. I live the blend of medical fact and medical fiction in this series, and with a gripping and tense plot, brilliant characters I love and a setting which is perfectly described, I cannot wait for the next in the series. . There's a fine line between kill and cure. Edinburgh, 1849. Despite Edinburgh being at the forefront of modern medicine, hordes of patients are dying all across the city, with doctors finding their remedies powerless. But it is not just the deaths that dismay the esteemed Dr James Simpson. A whispering campaign seeks to blame him for the death of a patient in suspicious circumstances. Simpson's protégé Will Raven and former housemaid Sarah Fisher are determined to clear their patron's name. But with Raven battling against the dark side of his own nature, and Sarah endeavouring to expand her own medical knowledge beyond what society deems acceptable for a woman, the pair struggle to understand the cause of the deaths. Will and Sarah must unite and plunge into Edinburgh's deadliest streets to clear Simpson's name. But soon they discover that the true cause of these deaths has evaded suspicion purely because it is so unthinkable. . #booklove #lovebooks #books #bookvent2019 #bookblog #bookblogger #bookblogging #bookstagram #bookstagrammer
Today on jenmedsbookreviews.com I share my thoughts on the latest Dr Alexander Gregory thriller from @ljross_author - #Hysteria. Set against a back drop of Paris fashion week, it’s another high intrigue thriller. Here’s what it’s all about: . In a beautiful world, murder is always ugly… Recently returned from his last case in Ireland, elite forensic psychologist and criminal profiler Dr Alexander Gregory receives a call from the French police that he can’t ignore. It’s Paris fashion week and some of the world’s most beautiful women are turning up dead, their faces slashed in a series of frenzied attacks while the world’s press looks on. Amidst the carnage, one victim has survived but she’s too traumatised to talk. Without her help, the police are powerless to stop the killer before he strikes again – can Gregory unlock the secrets of her mind, before it’s too late? Murder and mystery are peppered with dark humour in this fast-paced thriller set amidst the spectacular Parisian landscape. . #books #booklove #indie #lovebooks #bookblog #bookblogger #bookblogging #publicationday #bookstagram #bookstagrammer
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
