THE THERAPIST by B. A. PARIS

THE THERAPIST by B. A. PARIS
christine 2019 / Fiction / Reviews / Thriller / UK 25 January 2023 25 January 2023 Leave a comment

What a gripping thriller this is, made all the more enthralling by the juxtaposition of deep secrets and what – on the surface – appears to be an ideal life: young couples living in a small, pretty gated community in London’s Finsbury Park, all good neighbours and (seemingly) good friends, …

SLOW HORSES by MICK HERRON
christine 2010 / Fiction / Thriller / UK 24 August 2022 24 August 2022 Leave a comment

It’s painful to admit to being late to the party, but here I am, “discovering” a writer, long after everyone else has been a fan for years. “Slow Horses” was published in 2010, so – yup – this is more than a decade late. There’s even a TV series based …

THE APOLLO MURDERS by CHRIS HADFIELD

THE APOLLO MURDERS by CHRIS HADFIELD
christine 2021 / Canadian authors / Reviews / Thriller 27 November 2021 27 November 2021 1 comment

Disclosure time. I didn’t really know anything about Mr. Hadfield, nor had I read any of his books, before picking up “The Apollo Murders”. But I’d read a fulsome review of the book, and decided to “discover” a new author (though it seems that I’m the last person on planet …

THE CELLIST by DANIEL SILVA
christine 2021 / Thriller / USA 13 September 2021 13 September 2021 Leave a comment

I am a huge fan of Daniel Silva’s Gabriel Allon series, and to have a new book landing during these locked-down-pandemic-y days was a great treat. What was especially interesting were Mr. Silva references to the pandemic in the book, making this the first novel I have read which is …

THE EXPHORIA CODE by ANTONY JOHNSTON

THE EXPHORIA CODE by ANTONY JOHNSTON
christine 2017 / Fiction / Reviews / Thriller / UK 29 March 2021 29 March 2021 Leave a comment

It’s been a long time since I read a book that simultaneously baffled me and had me hooked. The world of Brigitte Sharp, a hacker turned cyber-spy, is so technical and tech-heavy, that at times I had no clue what Brigitte and her colleagues in MI6 were even talking about. …

CAMINO WINDS by JOHN GRISHAM

CAMINO WINDS by JOHN GRISHAM
christine 2020 / American authors / Crime / Fiction / Thriller 10 December 2020 10 December 2020 4 Comments

Disclosure time. On our first outing to a bookshop since lockdown in March, I was quite clearly not concentrating properly. As I excitedly browsed real books, as opposed to online shopping, I thought I heard the bookshop owner say “The latest from John Grisham”. My husband heard “The latest Camino …

LOCKDOWN by PETER MAY

LOCKDOWN by PETER MAY
christine 2020 / Fiction / Thriller / UK 13 October 2020 13 October 2020 Leave a comment

This eerily prescient book about a pandemic that shuts down London has a fascinating back story. Peter May wrote the novel in 2005, but it was rejected by publishers as being too unrealistic. So Mr. May put it in his Dropbox and moved on to other projects. It was only …

A DOUBLE LIFE by CHARLOTTE PHILBY

A DOUBLE LIFE by CHARLOTTE PHILBY
christine 2020 / Fiction / Reviews / Thriller / UK 2 August 2020 2 August 2020 Leave a comment

This psychological thriller is an interesting read, though a little patchy in parts and perhaps a little uneven. There is a wealth of detail given to us in the opening chapters of the book, the minutiae of family life, of office life, of streets, of playground politics – and the …

ANATOMY OF A SCANDAL by SARAH VAUGHAN

“You want to believe your husband. She wants to destroy him” And with these words on the front cover of this suspenseful psychological drama, we are led into a world of marriage and affairs and honesty and memories. Of crime and secrets. Of shame and retribution. Sophie and James met …
