If you haven't read Agatha Christie's The Murder of Roger Ackroyd then you're in for a treat....

I came on to say this!

Very much placemarking - but loved My Sister is a Serial killer

I just read a lovely book called The Reading List which had a few unexpected things happen - really nice read.

We need to talk about Kevin. That book totally threw me for six when I read it.

Agree!

Following for some inspiration! There is nothing worse than being let down at the end of the book and it happens SO often!!!
