Like seemingly everyone else on the planet, I’m obsessed with “Slow Horses,” the Apple TV adaptation of Mick Herron’s Slough House spy novels. Embarrassingly, I had yet to pick up one of his books, a misstep I recently corrected with the excellent “Standing By The Wall,” the first of many of Herron’s works that I’m looking forward to reading. #spythriller #readthisbook #bookstagram #mysteryreaders #crimereads #crimefiction #crimefictionreaders

🥃🚬 This is the second copy (1953) of the only Dell book to ever have its cover art altered. Bottom left is the “too risky” first edition (1951). The model used is Erle Stanley’s wife. She was used as the model for a large number of his books. . Who gave the order for the change? The artist Robert Stanley (no relation) doesn’t remember. Could have been the publisher, could have been Erle Stanley. No one is sure at this point. . Just recently noticed her shirt color in the 2nd edition has more of a green look to it. . I’m still on the lookout for a nice copy of the 1st edition. . . Title: Fools Die on Friday Author: A.A.

Book #16 of 2024 📚 The Thirteen Problems - Agatha Christie 🧙♀️ My first proper introduction to Miss Marple recommended by @criminallygoodbooksyork !! A good little selection of 13 short stories linked together through the characters forming a 'club' aiming to solve mysteries and unsolved problems/crimes. I liked that some of these I had some ideas about the solution, but others left me stumped! Definitely a wonderful intro to Marple ❤️ #book16 #books2024 #booksread #bookrecommendations #booksreview #agathachristie #missmarple #crimefiction #murdermystery #shortstories #criminallygoodbooksyork

‘But sometimes life is good and sometimes it's bad, and sometimes it's good and bad at the same time. Otherwise, it wouldn't be real. And you can't assume either one will last forever.’ As usual, David Baldacci introduces Amos Decker and his partner to many characters who could have committed the crime leaving the reader to guess who did it. With so many plot twists in the works, I have never guessed it right and this time was not different. What a ride! Besides what Amos Decker normally brings to the table, this time not only does he get a new partner – as we say goodbye to Mary Lancaster and take a break from Alex Jamison – but we also see a more humane side to him. I also learnt a very valuable lesson: even when others expect you to fail, it is up to you to keep going and you just might win. #davidbaldacci #longshadows #crimefiction #bookphotography

It has been exactly 20 years since I met Nilanjana S Roy for the first time – having discovered that the Hurree Babu of the fabulous literary blog Kitabkhana, with whom I had been jabberwocking and bookerchatting for a while, was also the Business Standard books columnist I so admired. Nilanjana’s work has continued to be an inspiration and a guiding light since then, and it was very nice to be in conversation with her at the first edition of Suitably Booked last week. It was a well-attended start to this book-club initiative by A Suitable Agency – Nilanjana was generous and eloquent as she spoke about the process of writing Black River, and her relationship with her characters (who take on their own lives, bullying her into doing things she wasn’t planning to do). Do read the book if you haven’t: it is a solid mystery – a whodunit and a police procedural – as well as a very moving, unsettling but emotionally secure look at loss, grief, and the nature of crimes and misdemeanors (but also ties and bonds) in a complicated, many-tiered society... #indianliterature #indianwriters #indianwritinginenglish #nilanjanasroy #crimefiction #crimewriting #bookdiscussion #bookclub

📚 Book Review 📚 The Other People by C.J Tudor ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 Driving home one night, Gabe see’s the face of his little girl in the back of the car in front, that’s the last time he see’s her. The police believe she’s dead but Gabe refuses to believe that. Fran & Alice are running, they always need to be one step ahead, otherwise they will find them, the Other People.. I’m such a big fan of this author, I’ve enjoyed all her books so much and this one is no exception. There’s a lot going on in this book, you really have to take your time and really absorb everything that’s happening it’s such a twisty thriller. There’s a slight supernatural element to this one that is the norm by this author, but it was the twists and turns that kept me reading. All the characters were really well written, Gabe refusing to give up on his daughter and dealing with a tragic mistake from years before, Katie who gets dragged into her sisters mess and the strange character “The Samaritan” who you are never sure about. Another great read and another one I’ll be keeping for my collection. #cjtudor #bookreview #booktok #bookphotography

Happy publication day to Sara Driscoll. Lockdown (NYPD Negotiators Book 3) published by Kensington Publishing Corp. When a horrific school shooting turns into a hostage situation, only Gemma Capello, the NYPD’s most skilled negotiator, has a chance to save innocent lives and end the crisis . . . Talking a suspect into sending his hostages out alive is NYPD Detective Gemma Capello’s specialty. Alerted to a school shooting at her nephew’s Brooklyn high school, she is one of the first officers on-scene. Detective Sean Logan and the Apprehension Tactical Team arrive next and immediately enter the school to apprehend the two shooters, while Gemma remains outside to help students evacuate. But as time stretches on, and there is no word of her nephew, her fear builds that he is one of the lost. One of the two shooters has holed up with a group of students and their teacher as hostages. Gemma steps in to negotiate for their survival. Floors away and armed with only her wits and the sound of her voice to convince him, Gemma fights for control of the situation even as tactical leadership pressures her for a more aggressive strategy. But for Gemma, it’s not about a quick solution. It’s about moving heaven and earth to bring everyone in that classroom home. And she’ll do whatever it takes to achieve that goal. Praise for the NYPD Negotiators series “Tense and tightly plotted, Exit Strategy pulls you in and doesn't let go. A compelling page-turner.” —New York Times bestselling author Marc Cameron Jen J.

'Folklore and superstition haven't gone away. They'll never go away. People need them. I think a purely scientific world would be a cold place' -Robin Ellacott JK Rowling mencionó siempre haber querido escribir una novela detectivesca, algo para adultos. Definitivamente, en esta serie se percibe su estilo distintivo, una voz que alguna vez resonó en los pasillos de Hogwarts o en King's Cross. En la quinta entrega de Strike y Ellacott, los acompañamos en su primer caso sin resolver: la desaparición de Margot Bamborough hace ya 40 años. Esta historia presenta temáticas y situaciones sumamente interesantes y complejas. Traumas, un presente que se entrelaza con el pasado y la intrincada naturaleza humana en medio de una desaparición, muertes, magia negra, astrología, un asesino en serie, la mafia, acentos cómicos precisos y un romance que apenas puede respirar. ¡Ah! Y un buen "soundtrack". Las escenas de la reconstrucción del crimen inicial, entrevistas con la familia y sospechosos entre otras son muestras de la pluma madura de Rowling (y de su imaginación e investigación abundante). Este libro ha sido uno de los más largos y complejos que he leído del "crime fiction"; lo llevé conmigo a todas partes y es el que más golpes ha tenido. Probablemente Troubled Blood es mi nuevo libro favorito. #book #libro #jkrowling #instabook #cbstrike #bookstagram #reading #lectura #crimefiction
Happy Pub Day @lauragriffinauthor LIARS POINT is here 🎉 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Liar’s Point by Laura Griffin is the next exciting novel in the Texas Murder Files series. I am so excited to read about Nicole & Emmet’s story. FINALLY! This story is filled with murder, mystery and of course the romance! The story is set in Lost Beach Texas. Nicole is paired up with her biggest competition, now her partner, Emmett. I was laterally on the edge of my seat as the story looks at the murders of two yoga instructors. The characters are complex, flawed, well fleshed out and exciting. The author has a way of integrating the romance into the thriller and crime thriller which makes her the queen of this genre. I read this incredible story in two sittings; I just didn’t want it to end! Highly recommend. A fantastic romantic thriller!!!! I love the #texasmurderfilesseries and this book is incredible !!! @berkleypub #liarspoint #lauragriffinauthor #bookreview #bookstagram #hapoypubday #romanticsuspense #romanticthriller #crimefiction #booksofig #berkleypublishing
And now for something completely different. Hawthorne and Horowitz are back, this time investigating the fatal shooting with a crossbow of a hedge fund manager who has managed to piss off every neighbour in his upmarket Richmond cul-de-sac. So far so Midsomer Murders and this book absolutely delivers that cosy Sunday-night murder mystery vibe. I can tell I’m becoming middle-aged because I was delighted by the setting and the petty grievances between neighbours. Forget thrillers that show someone defusing a nuclear bomb while dangling off a helicopter, I’ll take a parking dispute any time. It’s typically well-executed - the timelines are complex and the solution to the locked room mystery element is truly original. The only shame about this one is that you don’t get very much of the Horowitz-Hawthorne interaction since the story mostly takes place in the past, using Hawthorne’s case notes. Even the denouement doesn’t bring them both together. I found myself missing that chemistry, or sparks flying at least. I imagine it’s quite hard to keep writing realistic murder scenarios in which Horowitz himself might have been embroiled. Apparently there are 11 more planned in the series so it’ll be interesting to see what he comes up with next. #closetodeath #hawthorneinvestigates #thetwistofaknife #anthonyhorowitz #thewordismurder #thesentenceisdeath #alinetokill #hawthorne #murdermystery #books #onmyshelf #whatiamreading #bookrecommendations #bookclub #ilovereading #turnthepage #whattoreadnext #booksbooksbooks #authors #bookstagram #fiction #literature #novels #crimefiction #whodunnit

Here is my review of Her Charming Man by Rachel Sargeant I got into this book straight away from the start and really enjoyed reading it. I liked the main characters, DI Steph Lewis is great and she knows the strengths of her team, individually. She can usually sum up the interviewee pretty well too. In this book, she has two cases that she can’t get any leads on and she’s getting frustrated as she wants to work the murder case and keeps getting pulled off that one to work the missing person case, but is he really missing? Steph doesn’t like the wife of the missing person and they just keep drawing a blank until Steph speaks to someone at his workplace. This is a book full of mystery which is good and something to really get your teeth into. The author writes well and packs a good story into this book as she writes the two cases and really makes Steph work in this book for her answers. I loved the storyline and I loved the way the book came together. Full marks to the author for such a good book and I look forward to the next one in the series. Blurb : DI Steph Lewis of West Gloucestershire Police is working two cases. A woman is found dead in the Cathedral grounds. Few, not even her family, mourn her. And a man has gone missing. His wife, colleagues and neighbours fear for the safety of this perfect gentleman. A witness comes forward to say the cases are linked. A breakthrough, perhaps? But the witness has form for finding dead bodies and she knows things about Steph that the detective wants kept hidden. A reliable witness? Or a fantasist with the power to cause chaos in Steph’s personal life? What could possibly connect the murder of an unpopular woman and the disappearance of a charming man? Her Charming Man is the second book in the Gloucestershire Crime Series, featuring DI Steph Lewis, a spirited, no-nonsense detective with secrets of her own. #ad #freebookreview #hercharmingman #rachelsargeant #hobeckbooks #books #booktwitter #bookworm #booksbooksbooks #booklove #lovebook #bookstagrammer #bookstagram #booksofinstagram📚 #booktour #blogtour #crime #crimefiction #crimefictionbooks

Hi Writers! I work with a lot of debut authors. Sometimes they're confused or unsure about all the steps of the writing and editing process. You don't have to follow this process exactly, but if you want to publish your book and make it appear as professional as possible, here's what I recommend. 🖊️ Outlining/plotting. 🖊️ Drafting. 🖊️ Self-editing. 🖊️ Beta readers. 🖊️ Developmental editing. 🖊️ Copyediting. 🖊️ Formatting. 🖊️ Proofreading. If you need a professional book editor, contact me through the editing request form on my website!

📑📖Book Review 📖📑 🪻🪻This is one of the most enthralling thrillers I have read recently. A mystery convinced so intricately that one cannot anticipate the next twist. A baroque web of murder, physiological issues , hidden personalities and much more. 🪻🪻At the start of the session at S.H.M College, Subam, a B.Sc student gets acquainted with Siddharth, student of animal physiology and they meet Puja, first year student of journalism. This acquaintance turns into friendship in the most unlikely manner, when they set out together to solve a murder. Yogesh Sinha, a faculty of S.H.M college is found dead , burnt to bones in a car in the college premises. 🤠🤠Siddharth with his detective and observation skills determines to solve this murder. Subham and Puja prove to be excellent partners in this mission. Together, they unearth horrifying secrets about the so-called generous and philanthropic Yogesh sir. 🕵️♂️🕵️♂️The tale is so brilliantly crafted that the reader cannot anticipate the next development. The character of Yogesh Sinha has been framed with such details that each revelation leaves you horrifically amazed. The personality of Sinha is unveiled in a slow yet intriguing manner which changes the direction of the investigation every time. 🤌🤌 The story progresses so briskly that it keeps one engrossed in it. It never digresses or bores. The character of Siddharth is very impressive and meticulous. Puja proves to be a resourceful friend while Subham acts as a loyal accomplice to Siddharath. The minute intricacies of the story have been aptly contemplated leaving little room for guessing the murderer. 🤔🤔The only thing which was a little difficult to digest was the convenience of settings in some parts of the story. The relatives and friends of the three friends seem to aid in their investigation at comfortable moments. 💬Apart from this , the story is excellent and a must read.

Book review: “An old sanatorium. A terrifying murder. Six suspects and a case that never closed . . . Akureyri, Northern Iceland, 1983. High up in the most northern part of Iceland stands The Akureyri Sanatorium. Once a hospital dedicated to treating tuberculosis, it now sits haunted by the ghosts of its past. One wing of the hospital remains open and houses six employees: the caretaker, two doctors, two nurses and a young research assistant. Despite the wards closing decades ago they remain at the hospital to conduct research. But the cold corridors, draughty windows and echoey halls are constant reminders of the building’s dark history. When one of the nurses, Yrsa, is found brutally murdered, they discover that death has never left this place – and neither did its secrets. None can escape this terrifying legacy. Despite just five suspects the case is never solved and remains open for two decades. Until a young criminologist named Helgi Reykdal attempts to finally lay the ghosts of the hospital’s past to rest.” I won’t lie, I’m already a fan of @ragnarjo books so when the opportunity to get a proof via @netgalley came up I jumped at the chance to read it thanks to @michaeljbooks. Set over a period of time and weaving back and forth between characters, the pages keep turning as you think you’ve pinpointed the killer only to find out you were wrong. I loved the setting and the characters and the way the book reminded me of a modern day Agatha Christie which is the ultimate compliment in my book! Published August 2024. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Book 24 of the year #deathatthesanitorium #ragnarjonasson #crimenovel #crimefiction #detectivenovel #mylifeinbooks #theyearinbooks #bookcover #reader #tuesdayreads #bookpost #bookreview #fivestarread
What are you looking forward to reading? 📚 I’m looking forward to reading the new thriller by Ruby Speechley, Guilty. I’ve read and enjoyed her books in the past so I’m really looking forward to reading this one. It sounds really intriguing so I jumped at the chance to read it for the blog tour. I’ll be sharing my review as part of the blog tour in June. 📖 About Guilty: “You’re invited to my farewell party. I’ve got something to tell you before I die…” Heather wants to leave this world with a clear conscience. One confession. One secret. Two scores to settle. Heather accepted the fate of her terminal diagnosis long ago, but now the time is nearing, she arranges a huge farewell party for her nearest and dearest. She wants to say goodbye to everyone personally, but there’s another reason she wants the people in her life to gather. She knows who killed young Simon Eyre all those years ago, and she needs to tell. The boy deserves justice. But she doesn’t realise that by freeing her own inner demons, she’s unleashing much worse secrets, and putting everyone at risk… #guilty #rubyspeechley #hookedfrompageone #crimefiction #readcrimefiction #readmorebooks #thriller #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #readersofinstagram #readersgonnaread #somanybookssolittletime #booksbooksbooks #alwaysreading #bookobsessed
