Fuckup I was going to suggest that, I have enjoyed all of Emily Barr's books.

Into the Darkest Corner by Elizabeth Haynes. Dark and compulsive, a good follow-on!

I liked Disclaimer but didn't love it. After the Crash by Michel Bussi is great and if you enjoyed GOTT you'll probably enjoy it too.

I let you go by Clare Mackintosh - read it in one go, couldn't put it down.

Fuckup · 23/04/2015 09:16

If your still about I think you'd like The Sleeper by Emily Barr. Another train related mystery!

The Sea SIsters by Lucy Clarke.

I didn't like The Mystery of Mercy Close at all.
It just went on.
I feel bad saying that because Marian Keyes comes across so nice in interviews and in her column.

I'm reading The Last Letter From Your Lover and am enjoying it. I haven't finished it yet though, so it has plenty of time to get crap!

I think I had sky-high expectations! it was an OK read, but not the wow next hot thing it was hyped as. You might disagree! it seems to me the real wow books come out of nowhere and don't suffer from that weight of expectation!

Southeastdweller · 12/04/2015 12:07

Really, guilianna? I reserved it at the library yesterday. What didn't you like about it?

guilianna · 12/04/2015 11:46

don't bother with Disclaimer

Listmaker · 10/04/2015 17:30

Hope you enjoy it Anna!

By the way, The Kind Worth Killing is cheap as chips in the Kindle store right now. Downloaded! Thank you!

Annarose2014 · 10/04/2015 15:24

I hated EIM too. I just found it bloody depressing. Had nightmares about having Alzheimers afterwards!

Rose petal beach or the ice cream girls by Dorothy Koomson

Perfect is a bit dull I thought. Shock of the Fall was good but not a thriller type book.

Apple Tree Yard was a page turner but some bits were very implausible.

007JamesBond · 10/04/2015 14:47

Apple Tree Yard?

mumhum · 10/04/2015 14:43

How about:

Perfect by Rachel Joyce
The Shock of the Fall by Nathan Filer

Listmaker · 10/04/2015 14:37

Have now finished The Kind Worth Killing - it was great - really gripping with plenty of twists and turns. Definitely recommend that one.

SmokingGun · 09/04/2015 20:12

I let you go by Claire Mackintosh is really good read. I also enjoyed all of Mark Edwards books too.

Gumnast2014 · 09/04/2015 20:06

Gone girl

tobee · 09/04/2015 20:05

Done not down.

tobee · 09/04/2015 20:04

I was worried about the elizabeth is missing because my grandmother had alzheimers but a friend whose father currently has the disease said it wasn't a problem for her. I liked the book (I know many didn't). In fact the alzheimers is dealt with in a quite empowering way, if that makes sense, as it's down from the sufferers point of view.

SocialMediaAddict · 09/04/2015 19:34

I hated Elizabeth is missing.

I just finished The Ice Twins which parts I enjoyed and parts a bit close to home as I have identical twins!

thanks :) I looked at Elizabeth is missing, it looks like a really good story but i don't think i could read it as my father had alzheimers so it would be too close to home for me.

Will have a look at the others.

Despite myself i downloaded the second cormoran strike book, despite wanting to jump on my kindle after reading the last one, its easy to read and at the moment thats what im looking for.
