BOOK BLURB

Who is watching Nell Masters?

Nell Masters is certain someone is following her. The hairs on the back of her neck rise when she travels to and from work, there are silent calls to her office, and a huge bouquet of flowers arrives without a card. And Nell has a reason to be looking over her shoulder, because she has a secret that she’s hiding from everyone in her life, including her new partner, Alex. But Alex also has secrets of his own.

Fourteen years earlier, when Nell went by the name Elle Nugent, she witnessed a student, Bryony Sanders, getting into a stranger’s car. When Bryony was found murdered, Elle became obsessed with finding the person responsible. She was convinced she knew who it was and her fixation with Brett Parker, the man she accused, led her down a dangerous path . . .

Now, Nell tries to convince herself that this unnerving feeling of being watched is all in her mind. Has someone from her past discovered her new identity? Has the stalker become the stalked? Or is there something even more deadly at play?

MY REVIEW

Nell feels like someone is always watching her. She also has a secret from her past that she wants to keep hidden.

When I Kill You is fast-paced thriller. Nell was a witness to a crime years earlier, and she became obsessed with the suspect. It ended in tragedy, and now, she feels like someone associated with her past is stalking her.

Secrets and paranoia make for entertaining mystery.

BOOK BLURB

A woman buried.
A woman broken.
A woman crashed.
A woman burned.
And the man who knew them all.

Love at first sight, a whirlwind Vegas wedding, a fairy-tale romance.

For forty-three days, Tavish Advani has been the happiest man in the world—until his new life turns to ash, his wealthy in-laws’ house going up in a fiery explosion. His badly injured wife lies in a coma, her family all but annihilated.

Tavish thought he’d left the sins of his Los Angeles life behind, but it’s not so easy to leave behind an investigation into the deaths of several high-profile women—all of whom he’d professed to love. Tragedy and death follow him no matter where he goes . . . but this time, he knows he’s innocent.

Desperately trying to clear his name as the authorities zero in, Tavish begins his own investigation into the fire—and learns that his wife’s picture-perfect family may have been nothing but a meticulously constructed mirage. The truth is much darker than anything Tavish could’ve imagined. . . .

MY REVIEW

After a whirlwind romance, a man learns his new family is not as perfect as they seem. Although, he has his secrets too.

Such a Perfect Family is told from Tavish’s point of view. He comes home to find his wife stabbed and the house on fire. Not only was his wife in the house, but also his wife’s parents and her sister. Tavish is immediately a suspect, and he does have a questionable past.

Twists and turns, plus several questionable characters, kept this read interesting.

BOOK BLURB

Marin Haggerty, the daughter of a notorious serial killer, was only a child when they arrested her father. Ripped from her home and given a new identity, Marin disappeared.

Twenty years later, Gwen Tanner keeps everyone at a distance, preferring to satirize the world around her than participate in it. It’s for her safety—and theirs. But when someone starts sending body parts to her front door, the message is clear: I Know Who You Are.

To preserve her secrets, Gwen must hunt down the killer, a journey which immerses her in the twisted world of true crime fandom and makes her confront her past once and for all. Maybe she is capable of deep, human connections, but she’s not the only one keeping secrets. Will opening herself up to others help her find the killer, or remind her why it was necessary she hide her true self in the first place?

The apple never falls too far, after all.

BOOK BLURB

November 2001: Chloe Harlow wakes up late, with hazy memories of the party the night before but no recollection of how she got back to her Brooklyn apartment. Ever since the terrifying and catastrophic terrorist attack, it seems she has been on a collision course with destruction.

When she finally arrives at the exclusive Upper East Side art gallery where she works, she is immediately called into her boss’s office. A pair of NYPD detectives greet her, also very curious to know how her evening ended…because the host of the party, a rising painter and the gallery’s newest artist, is dead.

Navigating both the sophisticated high-stakes art world and her personal life in burgeoning Williamsburg, Chloe struggles to piece together a complete picture of that lost night. As she digs deeper, inconsistencies emerge between what she remembers and what people tell her actually happened, and more questions are raised. Everything begins to feel like a conspiracy and maybe it is. Because Chloe is the only one who glimpses the secrets the murdered artist left behind, and the closer she gets to the truth…the more deadly it becomes.

MY REVIEW

The Gallery Assistant is about a young woman caught up in a murder. Chloe works as an art gallery assistant, and wakes up one morning with a foggy memory of the night before. Turns out, the gallery’s newest artist was killed, and Chloe was the last one to see her alive.

The Gallery Assistant is set in 2001, in a post 9/11 New York City. Chloe survived the attack, but suffers from PTSD. She’s also an alcoholic with low self-esteem, making her an unreliable narrator. Suspicious characters and a complex plot make for an intriguing thriller.

Slow burning and atmospheric, The Gallery Assistant is a character driven mystery. Recommended to fans of the art world and slow paced mysteries.

MY REVIEW

Rumoured is about a pop star accused of murder. It is told mostly from Naomi’s point of view. Naomi is a journalist for a celebrity magazine. Harlow is the accused popstar, and we do get her point of view later in the novel.

The pacing of Rumoured starts slow, but it ramps up later in the book. A suspenseful and twisted mystery of lies, secrets, obsession, and revenge.

MY REVIEW

Lottie is a retired serial killer, enjoying her quiet life. When a journalist starts asking questions about her past, Lottie takes matters into her own hands.

Too Old for This is told from Lottie’s point of view. She is in her 70s and enjoying her unexciting, small town life. A journalist shows up and wants to do a story about a crime that Lottie was acquitted of years earlier. Lottie can’t have the past being brought up, so she resorts to her old ways.

With a witty and devious main character, Too Old for This is a delightfully fun read. Dark, clever, and addictive.
