BOOK SYNOPSIS:
I'm not the wife you think I am.

Just weeks after giving birth, new mum Stephanie Henderson and her baby girl disappear.

With husband Adam in despair, and the police investigation stalled, it's up to her sister Jess to find them. But when Adam starts to behave suspiciously, Jess starts to question what really happened.

Following news of a tragic accident, she suspects the worst and, in turmoil, goes in search of answers. But Jess isn't prepared for what she uncovers . . . or for what happens next.

This is a twisted psychological thriller that will make you question what is real, and whether you really can trust those you love.

Review: The Last Love Note by Emma Grey

The Last Love Note  by  Emma Grey My rating:  3 of 5 stars In THE LAST LOVE NOTE by Emma Grey, I embarked on a journey filled with conflicting emotions. Despite my initial eagerness to delve deeper into the narrative, the unexpected weightiness of the prose caught me off guard. The narrative's frequent jumps in timeline, especially in audiobook format, proved disorienting and challenging to follow. However, Leeanna Walsman's narration was outstanding, rescuing the experience with her excellent delivery. The novel grapples with poignant themes, exploring the profound ideas of seizing life's moments and nurturing hope amid pain. Yet, occasional forced dialogue and slapstick humor felt incongruent with the somber tone. Nevertheless, the commendable growth of the characters and the author's skill in infusing joy and hope into a challenging narrative make it a worthwhile read. While my personal experience may differ, many readers have found this book highly enjoyable, so I e...

Review: A Storm of Infinite Beauty by Julianne MacLean

A Storm of Infinite Beauty  by  Julianne MacLean My rating:  3 of 5 stars A STORM OF INFINITE BEAUTY by Julianne MacLean left me with mixed feelings. While the premise of Scarlett Fontaine's mysterious life and the connection to Gwen Hollingsworth promised intrigue, the execution fell short. The dual timelines, spanning from Valdez, Alaska in 1963 to Nova Scotia in 2017, lacked a seamless transition, leaving me more captivated by the historical narrative. The portrayal of Gwen and Peter's relationship felt awkward, particularly in discussing Gwen's past with Eric. The narrative, resembling women's fiction, could have thrived as a focused exploration of the Valdez earthquake, bypassing the disjointed present-day plot. Despite its shortcomings, Maclean's descriptive prose crafts vivid settings, from a lush vineyard to a rustic Alaska lodge, making it a worthwhile read for those seeking a scenic journey with a touch of family mystery. ✏ Favourite quote: "I mean, w...

Review: Public Anchovy #1 by Mindy Quigley

Public Anchovy #1  by  Mindy Quigley My rating:  4 of 5 stars In PUBLIC ANCHOVY #1 by Mindy Quigley, the delightful chaos of Geneva Bay's Deep Dish Mystery series unfolds in a Wisconsin pizzeria, blending suspense with humor. As pizza chef Delilah O'Leary navigates the challenges of winter slow season and a promising romance with detective Calvin Capone, a murder crashes a Prohibition-themed fundraiser. The story takes an unexpected turn, trapping Delilah, Capone, and her staff in a mansion for a thrilling game of cat and mouse with a desperate killer. Quigley's narrative mastery keeps readers guessing, and even with prior series knowledge recommended, the book stands as a gripping standalone. Returning to Delilah's world, I found the unpredictable mystery, coupled with the entertaining cat antics, a perfect blend of suspense and humor. ✏ Favourite quote: "It's not a weakness to feel things," I said. #bookstadog #poodlesofinstagram #doodlesofinstagram #fur...
