How to Kill with Kindness by S.R. Masters
The village of Nether Appleford calls itself ‘England’s Kindest Village’. Overseen by the Kindness Committee, this close-knit community strives to live their lives with kindness at the heart of everything they do.
For Tessa and Andy, this sounds like the perfect escape. An opportunity to settle down and move on from a past that haunts them.
But what if the kindest thing you could do meant hurting someone? Then what would you do?
What did you recently finish reading?
The House at the Edge of the Woods by Rachel Hancox
When Ben was seven, his mother was murdered in the woods while he waited for her in their car.
The case made the front pages, but her killer was never found.
Thirty years later, Ben has a safe, grown-up life: a job, a ramshackle cottage and, most importantly, a happy marriage to Rebecca.
His mother has receded to the corners of his mind, lingering only in the nightmares that won’t quite go away.
Then Rebecca takes on a new job, painting a fairy-tale fresco for a wealthy businessman who starts asking questions about Ben’s mother . . .
Is it time for the truth to come out – and for Ben to face the questions he’s never dared ask before?
The Lifeline by Libby Page
Everybody needs saving sometimes…
For Kate, having a newborn baby means she is almost never alone. But that doesn’t mean she isn’t lonely. The move from London to Somerset with her husband Jay was supposed be the start of an exciting new chapter. But sometimes she can’t help but wonder if she turned the pages too soon . . .
Phoebe needs help. As a mental health nurse serving her community, the wellbeing of her patients has always come before her own. Yet there’s only so long she can pour from an empty cup.
Looking for a lifeline, Kate and Phoebe find a sense of community – and each other – through their local river swimming group. But when things get tough, they realise that good friends can both raise us up and stop us sinking.

The Puppet Master by Sam Holland
He watches your every move
We’ve all experienced it. That creeping sensation of eyes on your back, the faint echo of footsteps following yours.
He controls you
Across the country, a madman is carefully choosing his victims. Once he has you in his sights, he won’t let go.
He will make you pay
You think you’re in control of your own life? Think again. Because The Puppet Master is coming for you, and he won’t stop until you’re dead…
I’m looking forward to making a start on How to Kill with Kindness (I’m between finishing one book and starting another at the time of writing this post!). I’ve read the author’s first two books and enjoyed them so I’m hoping this one will be just as good.
I very much enjoyed The House at the Edge of the Woods. Look out for my blog tour review on Tuesday 23rd. I also enjoyed The Lifeline which is very different to what I normally read. Very heartwarming with relatable characters.
Sam Holland’s The Twenty was one of my books of 2023 so I’m excited to make a start on The Puppet Master. Here’s to an excellent week of reading! 📚🥂
