Book Rating

I haven't read or listened to anything by N.V. Peacock before but the synopsis sounded like something right up my street and whilst I wasn't blown away, I did enjoy listening to The Brother and will look out for more from this author in the future.

The book is written from the points of view of Fallon, a psychologist who has survived a traumatic event, and The Brother, a serial killer who uses a unique way of finding his victims.

It's a twisty and compelling story that is told at a steady pace and I loved the intrigue surrounding who the brother was.

I really enjoyed listening to this book and whilst, at first, I found the male narrator talked a bit slow for my liking, I quickly realised, as the story progressed, that he was absolutely perfect and by the end I loved him as he added a lot of intensity and creepiness which added to the overall feel of this book.

Overall, a really enjoyable listen and my thanks go to Bolinda Audio and NetGalley for enabling me to listen to and share my thoughts of The Brother.

2.5 stars.

Dark Lady I: 3 star
Dark Lady II: 4 star
Dark Brother: 1 star

Dark Lady I, I was equally annoyed that I had to read about Silvio having sex with someone else and fascinated about the way he went about it all.

Dark Lady II, I really enjoyed because, hopeless romantic that I am, it was about Silvio and Stefano and them getting closer.

Dark Brother, well, I know Silvio's a little strange in his sex life, but really?

Your own brother? What the hell?! I didn't even read it, just skipped to the next morning

I must admit that though this was my least favourite volume so far that I am still intrigued and wanting some sort of happy ending for these two so I will continue reading to see how it all plays out.

"My brother wrote this book — I had to put it on my list. It's a thriller, but it's also about the disintegration of a family and the ways in which our desire to protect one another can be destructive. I always thought writers were the bravest people, because they seemed to reveal so much of themselves in their work. My brother gave me an understanding of the process. He can take his experience and turn it 190 degrees, and it becomes something else, which is what I do with acting. He's made the art of writing not as foreign to me. I'm still so impressed by people who can create certain feelings on a page, but it was a revelation to see that what my brother and I do is, in a way, not so different."

Eva Green (0 more)

A very unusual film. Quite erotic as an American student in Paris strikes up a relationship ship with a Brother and sister during the backdrop of student riots in '68. A quirky coming of age tale.

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2346 KP) rated Dating Dead Men in Books

Mar 9, 2018

A call from her brother sends Wollie off on a wild ride while she's in the middle of a dating project and trying to help her greeting card store take off. Has her brother really witnessed a murder? Or is it his paranoid schizorenia acting up again? A twisty novel with great characters. Just pay attention at the beginning because a lot is thrown at you quickly.
