Once again, we are treated to a tense plot, fast pace and excellent characters that, although I found it hard to get into for the first couple of chapters, once there I was absolutely riveted to the very end.
Highly recommended to those of you who enjoy an excellent thriller and many, many thanks to Hodder & Stoughton and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of The Survivor.

The story is told from the perspectives of the two pianists ... Marnie in London and Connie in Amsterdam. Marnie and Connie are exceptionally strong characters and the author transported me into their worlds amongst the bombs of the blitz and the invasion of the Nazi's where trust can be a dangerous thing.
With oodles of tension, the fear palpable and the bravery and courage of those working against the Nazi war machine excellently portrayed, the War Pianist is a gripping story and whilst this is a work of fiction, it felt authentic and was totally riveting.
Many thanks to Avon Books UK and NetGalley for enabling me to read and share my thoughts of The War Pianist.

May 8, 2022
This is the latest in this series starring Connor Fraser and what a series it is!
No Quarter Given is a dark and gritty read that is not for the feint-hearted. It has some scenes that some may find distressing as they relate to child abuse so be warned, if this is a trigger for you, I would think before picking this up.
Having given that warning, this is intense, well written and fast paced with excellent characters but amongst the violence and tension, there is dark humour and moments of vulnerability for the main character.
This is an excellent addition to the series and thank you to Little, Brown Book Group via NetGalley for giving me the opportunity of reading and sharing my thoughts.

This series a brilliantly written, with some great humour in places but more importantly, it has great Tension and drama between it's characters.
The Shelby family has a great on screen presence with a great cast to portray it. Alongside the other groups of criminals, policemen, businessmen and of course the strong female characters that put some of the men in line and create drama within the families.
There are so many characters within this show. Some you love, others you just want to punch in the face, but all are brilliantly portrayed. My problem however, is that the show seems to ignore some of the characters and simply focuses nearly all of our attention to only Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) and Chester Campbell (Sam Neill). Now, don't get me wrong, I still love the show and love both of these characters, but there are other characters I would love to see more of, and know more about.
At the time of writing this I have just started season 2 so my season two review may change this opinion, but for season 1 that is what I have to say.
Overall though, great cast, brilliantly written and directed with beautiful cinematography and without a doubt the highlight will always be the incredible performance, as always, by Cillian Murphy.
