April was another great reading month for me – I managed to finish 8 books. I can’t believe how much I am reading compared to a couple of years ago! Below, you’ll find the full list of books I read. Click on each title to check out my full review.
Want to follow my reading journey? You can add me on StoryGraph or Goodreads.
• I Make My Own Fun by Hannah Beer. A fantastic debut about obsession and celebrity.
• The Midnight King by Tariq Ashkanani. A dark and chilling thriller.
• People Pleaser by Catriona Stewart. White Lotus meets Love Island in this debut thriller.
• One of Us is Dead by Peter James. My first foray into the Detective Superintendent Roy Grace series.
• The Secret Room by Jane Casey. Maeve Kerrigan is back! A locked room style mystery with a strong Josh Derwent arc.
• Human Remains by Jo Callaghan. Kat and AI detective Lock are back and investigating the discovery of human bones whilst someone is watching Kat…
• The Cliffhanger by Emily Freud. Husband and wife, Emma and Felix, are the co-authors of bloody thrillers. But just how much of their own lives are bleeding into the pages of their latest novel?
• Our Last Wild Days by Anna Bailey. Gritty, atmospheric and steeped in Southern tension. A slow-burning mystery with a strong sense of place.
