Welcome to this week’s Book Talk!
Last week, I read:
The Dark Tide by Simon McCleave: This first installment in the Anglesey series is a an action-filled crime drama. The current day events are interspersed by flashbacks to the death of lead character DCI Laura Hart’s beloved husband, Sam. In the present, drug smugglers take a tourist boat hostage in hopes of evading arrest. The two storylines are intriguing but I am much more invested in finding out what happened to Sam. The Welsh island of Anglesey is vividly brought to life throughout the mystery and I am eager to revisit it and the characters again.
Wrong Place Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister: In this compelling mystery, Jen travels back to various times in her life in an attempt to save her teenage son, Todd, from becoming a murderer. In each time period she visits, she picks up on vital information that takes on new meaning considering what happened just before she entered the time loop. Jen also begins to view her husband, Kelly, in a who new light. The storyline is well-developed and the characters are easy to relate to. I absolutely loved this unique mystery and highly recommend it!
Now it’s your turn. What have you been reading lately? Join the discussion by commenting below!
I’ve got Dark Tide to read – my mum has distant relatives on Anglesey so am always keen to read books set there.
I read Robert Brenda’s latest Erika Foster Fatal Witness – once again gritty and gruesome, the culprit seems innocuous but miraculously I felt Erika had grown in this one, not so harsh and gong ho – progress!!!
Auto correct error!
Should be Robert Bryndza!
