Dont judge a book by its cover
I thought I was really clever and sussed a twist but I was absolutely wrong. Emma Mason has bravely attempted a colloquial style novel, very hard to achieve well and yet achieves it with aplomb. Brilliant twisty narrative about twins and resentment leading to murderess blood lust. There are so many crime books it's refreshing to read something a little different. An incredible debut.

I just couldn't put it down...
Another fantastic novel in the Robert Hunter series.

Spine-tingling, gripping thriller which will keep you turning the page over and over. I honestly could not out it down. I was so immersed in the storyline.

They way the story is written makes you feel part of the plot. You feel so involved.

Will have you dying to read the next one...

Isles without RIzzoli
To begin with I struggled with the story alternating between the past and the present, and through multiple story tellers. Once I managed to get into the flow of the novel , it was interesting and the story addictive.

As one would come to expect from Tess Gerritsen, the story is well written and the balance of charming characters, heroes and wickedness helps to create suspense and excitement.
