My review:????

The Dinner Guest by B P Walter is a thriller, where we know from the beginning who dies, and whilst we’re told who has admitted to the killing, we’re also told there’s doubt about the killer.

Matthew and Charlie are married, bringing up Titus, who is the son of Matthew’s late sister.  And Rachel is the woman who changes everything.  She shows up in a bookshop, and whilst Charlie feels uncomfortable, Matthew befriends her.

I really enjoyed the layers of story that are revealed as we go along, with truths uncovered about every character. 

The Dinner Guest was published on 1st April 2021, and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.

Mirrorland by Carole Johnstone has Cat travelling back to Scotland from her life in L.A. after her twin sister, El disappears on her boat.  

Cat doesn’t think El has died, she’s positive she’s still alive, but to find her she has to confront the past, at their old house, where they had Mirrorland, a place of makebelieve.

This is a thriller, where things Cat remembers from the past isn’t always what happened, which means you don’t always know if what you’re reading is true.  I enjoyed the story, and the surprises.

Knife Edge by Simon Mayo (yes, that Simon Mayo off the radio) is a thriller.  There are a number of attacks on people, which are taken to be random, until the police identify where they work – for the investigations team at a news agency.

Famie Madden is a journalist who had tried and failed to get on the investigations team, and when the deaths start piling up, she starts looking in to it when an envelope is left on her car after a funeral for one of the victims.

This is a fast paced thrilled, that will keep you turning pages to find out what happened and why, and I enjoyed it thoroughly!

Knife Edge is coming out on 20th August, and you can order it from Amazon, Waterstones and your local independent bookshop.

The Search Party by Simon Lelic is a thriller of a missing girl, and her friends who go to look for her.

It’s written from the point of view of DI Fleet, who specialises in finding people and her friends in their interviews with the police.  It makes for a really interesting way of the story coming out.

This is a well paced book from the beginning, moving fast as you’d expect from a thriller, and you are gradually told what has happened in the woods.

I didn’t guess what had happened until we were getting to the end of the book, as it was unfolding for us.

If you’ve enjoyed books like The Chalk Man, The Hunting Party or The Guest List, then you’ll enjoy this!

The Search Party is due to be published on 20th August, and you can pre-order it from Amazon, Waterstones, or your local independent bookshop.
