It's written in many different types of writing from normal story telling to email form and to film script which is done very cleverly. The storyline is a very simple one of a romour, ownership which then takes life of its own and we watch how it grows and changes the characters life throughout the book. I will definitely recommend this as some will like it more than others ...more

This one also has the feel of real life about with the descriptions of Baghdad with how terrible it's been with all the war crimes and just the general way of life there (how people live with bombs and shooting going off everyday like it's normal makes my brain ache) but the saddest thing of all... its all about money ...more

For the kind of book it is it's a fast easy read (that sounds terrible I'm sorry) that once you start you have this need to see the ending and when you do reach the end you realise you've cried or had a large lump in your throat throughout the whole book.(why do we do this to ourselves??) This book is definitely an emotional rollercoaster anger, sadness , heartache are just a few your going to get when reading this. I highly recommend this book ...more

This police drama is a book that is easy,Prime suspect 1973 by Lynda la Plante is the beginning of Jane Tennison (Helen Mirren) career as a young WPC. This police drama is a book that is easy, enjoyable, fast paced and nerve jumping fun. It has a two story into one feel about it with murdered teenagers in the first half and a bank robbery in the second half which is only joined by one tiny thread which you can forget about when reading. This book just flows together nicely, with characters that are fun to read (and a great description of the 70's fashion) whilst it keeps you flipping the pages. There is a slight predictability to the back story with the young WPC and the higher ranking DCI 🙄. A part from that this book has a sense of believability to it . With a 'Oh my god' what an ending 😱 you just don't see it coming. I highly recommend this if you need an easy read but with a lot of story to sink your teeth into.

I absolutely recommend this book to anyone who wants a little emotion, a lot of worthwhile frustration and heart pounding fun, then this is the book for you. (Roll on book two)....more

It did start a little slow and had a couple of other slow spots but when it gets going I found it to be a very heart pounding, ' OH COME ON !!! ' with plenty of tension kind of thriller with also sadness added into it. If reading about a normal young woman trying to find her way home then ends up saving herself and a child whilst facing evil then I highly recommend this book to you....more

I'm still trying to calm my nerves and catch my breath this book is an absolute easy thriller which can be a tiny bit predictable ( but only a tiny bit ) with a twist that you think 'WHAT'. The characters are the love and hate type. An absolute page turner and an easy one sitting read which I wish I had the time to do . It also has a simple happy ever after which I think is a great finish. I highly recommend it 😊...more
