Mini Book Reviews: Karma Never Sleeps - R. John Dingle Rating: 4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Book 1 - Gus Wheeler Series A series of small town murders sees the FBI brought in to investigate. A group of women, lifelong friends, are being targeted with two already dead. Great start to a new series. I did guess correctly but an enjoyable ride! Deep Fear - Rachel Lynch Rating: 4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Book 2 - DI Kelly Porter Series A methodical killer is on the loose in the Lakes. Porter and her team are working flat out and feeling the strain. Is the killer right under their noses? Another good instalment of the series. Tense and creepy. The Ruin - Dervla McTiernan Rating: 4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Book 1 - Cormac Reilly Series Secrets of the past will always expose the crimes of the present. Newly transferred back to Galway, DS Reilly reviews a cold case which seems to still be very much relevant today. Gritty, Irish police procedural which hits hard. Count The Dead - T.M. Payne Rating: 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Book 4 - DI Sheridan Holler Series DI Sheridan Holler is on the hunt for a killer she didn’t even know existed. Suddenly, she sees the pattern and realises he won’t ever stop. Another tense and exciting instalment in the series. Emotional ending to the ongoing secondary plot was so well done and hit hard. Excellent. The Resort - Sara Ochs Rating: 3.5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ Bodies are dropping on a Thai island with plenty of people keeping secrets. I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Unreliable characters, a few red herrings and a good twist at the end. Memorial Park - Louisa Scarr Rating: 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Book 2 - PC Lucy Halliday Series A missing child. A family telling lies. Time is running out. A great second outing for Lucy and her dogs. Gripping read that has all the emotions flowing. Short chapters, dual perspectives and an emotional conclusion to an important secondary plot. #bookstagram #bookstagramuk #books #readersofinstagram #bookstagrammer
