My February Reads

Feb 29, 2016 / damppebbles / 10 Comments

What a wonderful booky month it's been for me (and my first full month as a fully fledged blogger). I'm already rather addicted to this blogging malarkey and have to keep reminding myself that I can't read ALL the time....can I? I started February by reading Follow Me by Angela Clarke.  A fast paced serial killer … Continue reading My February Reads

"SIX FOUR. THE NIGHTMARE NO PARENT COULD ENDURE. THE CASE NO DETECTIVE COULD SOLVE. THE TWIST NO READER COULD PREDICT.

They would never see their daughter … Continue reading Six Four by Hideo Yokoyama

The Jackdaw by Luke Delaney

"Guilty or not guilty? A lone vigilante is abducting wealthy Londoners and putting their fate in the hands of the public.
