Review: the darkness

the darkness by Ragnar Jónasson My rating: 4 of 5 stars Firstly I would like to thank Michael Joseph for the opportunity to give a true and honest review of this book. This is my first experience of a Nordic Noir Thriller and I have to say I am so glad I started with Ragnar Jonasson. He is a well-respected author from Reykjavik and began his career at the age of 17 translating the works of Agatha Christie into Icelandic. This particular novel was the runner-up of the Novel of the Year Award 2015 in Iceland. This is a start of a new trilogy based around Detective Inspector Hulda Hermannsdottir a member of the Reykjavik police force who is being forced into early retirement by her commanding officer. Hulda uses this conversation to utilise her final days investigating the cold case of a young female asylum seeker found dead in the remote countryside. Her death was ruled as a suicide after a short investigation, but it soon becomes clear to Hulda that there is a...

September Book Haul - Part 2 inspired by Booktube

There is now an ever growing and much loved community on YouTube referred to as BookTube.  This is now a diverse community not covering just Young Adult but many topics and genres.   There are far too many that I follow to mention however, some of my current haul purchases have been inspired by the following channels and so I wanted to tip my hat so to speak to these in particular and thank them not only for their amazing content but also for the range of books they have brought to my attention. Simon of SavageReads Simon is a charismatic and funny guy, he always shows such enjoyment in reading and sharing his thoughts with us and I have watched all his videos to date.  Both of these books were given 5* reviews and his enthusiasm in describing both the synopsis of the books and his thoughts were contagious creating a must have purchase instinct in me. I have to also say that this is not the first purchase I have had to have from his channel and he has become t...

Review: The Loving Husband by Christobel Kent

The book starts by introducing Fran Hall and her husband Nathan who have moved to a rural farmhouse to bring up their two children Emme and Ben.   At the opening of this book Fran is awoken by Ben only to find Nathan gone from their bed.  After searching the house she moves outside and discovers his body. After reporting the situation to the police Fran finds herself under suspicion  and we begin to see a side of Fran's past that she may be running away from.  As well as a darker side to her husband Nathan's life that remains unrevealed. Unfortunately I was unable to finish this book.  I read 54% before I just had to surrender. I love a good psychological thriller and have read a few good thrillers this year, so when I saw the synopsis for the story of The Loving Husband, it looked like a compelling fast paced read. Unfortunately I should have followed my gut after the first few chapters.  Straight from the off I found it very hard to associ...
