Written from an unusual prospective, a series of interviews without a narrator this book held me from the start. Good People by Patmeena Sabit is an intriguing read. Review in the link⬇️ @ViragoBooks #PatmeenaSabit #recommendedbook.

I think a better title for this book would have been Perspectives Ultimately that is what this book is all about. The story unfolds in a series of statements from numerous people who have known the…

Not sure I’m the demographic for this but I can tell you this middle aged man really enjoyed A Court of Thrones and Roses by Sarah J Maas. Review ⬇️@SJMaas .

I’m not the demographic for this book, but this genre is becoming my “dirty secret” And of the few books I’ve read in this genre, this one is by far the best. A great story, with characters it’s ea…

The timing of this story could not have been more impactful following recent news stories in Ireland. A real masterpiece of a story. Hidden Daughters by Patricia Gibney. Stunning. @bookouture .

The Secrets of Forest Lane, an incredible psychological crime thriller set around a small group of people all with children in the same nursery class. A great murder story with a bit of spice. Review in the link ⬇️#mustread.

The first few chapters of this book are scene setters so please don’t think you’ve stumbled across an urban romance, because that’s the last thing this book is. This is a psychological thriller, an…

Espionage books have always been my favourite, they’re just hard to come by in the way of new releases. Recently I found Damascus Station by David McCloskey, and loved it. Moscow X is book 2 of the 4 in the series and is even better. Review in the link ⬇️.

Espionage fiction at its best. When a high ranking KSB Official sends one of his thugs to steal gold from the bank of one of the new rich it tips the first domino in a long and twisting line. The g…

Phantasma and Enchantra by Kaylie Smith. The first two books in this new series, and as the football saying goes, a game of two halves. The first book is brilliant, unfortunately the second book is the same story in a different setting.

My occasional foray into other genres has taken me back to the latest reading fad that seems to have struck over the last few years. And it’s becoming somewhat of a guilty secret. I’m certainly not…

A cracking espionage book just like the ones I used to love reading when there were plenty on the shelves. Damascus Station by David McCloskeyis a dark complex read set towards the end of the Assad regime in Syria. @mccloskeybooks.

This is one of the easiest reviews I’ve written. Buy the book. My formative years of reading were taken up reading great espionage books by the likes of Robert Ludlum, Alistair McLean, Nelson Demil…

The second in the Dr Olivia Winter series and it’s a stunner. THE DEVIL’s code By Micheal Wood. A great plot with great characters, a developing storyline for future books. Loved it. Link to my review in image ⬇️. @0neMoreChapter_ .

THE CHEMIST by A.A Dhand. The best book I’ve read this year. A pharmacist on a council estate run by drug gangs uses his knowledge to gain revenge, but how far will he go. Absolutely brilliant read Review in the link⬇️ @aadhand @HQstories .

What The Dead Want by MJ Lee. A brilliant addition to one of my favourite series. A unique main character in DI Tom Ridpath, a marvellously layered murder investigation, what is not to like. Review in the link⬇️ @WriterMJLee @CaneloCrime #mustread.

The best terrorism book I’ve read for years. Hunted by Abir Mukherjee sits comfortably alongside books by Ludlum, Clancy, and DeMille. My review is linked in the image below. @radiomukhers @stubbleagent #mustread.
nigeladamsbookworm.com
If you’ve missed the type of book that Robert Ludlum wrote back in the 70s and 80s, or some of the early Tom Clancy novels, then this book set firmly in the modern day is definitely for you. Hunted…

I can’t believe that this was 10 years ago. Silent Scream by Angela Marsons was my introduction to what, in my opinion, is the best British Police Procedural series in print. Happy anniversary to Angela, Kim Stone, Bryant and the team. @bookouture .

Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros. An honest review by a middle aged man who is not the target audience. The series was suggested to me last year when I said I wanted to venture into a different genre of book. I liked the first two so …….

To start with I acknowledge that I am not the target audience for this book. Last year I read the first two in the series, Fourth Wing and Iron Flame, as a challenge to myself to read a different g…

A new author to me and I don’t know how she hasn’t been on my radar before. Hidden by Kendra Elliot is a brilliant opening to a new series. A crime thriller with a great story, great characters, and a tension which boils over, that kept me gripped.

Billed as book 1 in the Bone Secrets series, and what an opener. Looking online there are 5 books in this series, so far, and I can’t wait to get stuck into the next one. Forensic Odontologist Lace…
