pickI read this book via the #Pigeonhole app, a stave at a time. I wasn‘t convinced by the first stave as most of the characters are very unlikeable, but gradually I began to enjoy it and ultimately found it gripping. It‘s written with a sense of humour and the banter between the police officers is quite entertaining. A well written and compelling crime drama with a little bit of Greek mythology thrown in!
pickA beautifully written story about love, loss and survival. The voices of Carmel and Beth are very realistic. They are such resilient and determined characters. I was totally immersed in both Carmel‘s and Beth‘s journeys, there is an acute sense of Beth‘s angst and isolation and Carmel‘s bewilderment and her all abiding spirit. There is also a sense of unease throughout. A riveting and emotional read which I can highly recommend. #Pigeonhole
pickI enjoyed this moving story of love and hope set amidst the brutality and inhumanity of the time of the slave trade. The research gone into putting this tale together is excellent. It‘s well written and the descriptions of the various backdrops are very vivid. It‘s a gripping and enlightening read, a worthy debut. It‘s a story that needs to be told. A journey of education and illumination. #Pigeonhole
pickI enjoyed this psychological mystery. t‘s a slow burner so if you like fast paced thrillers, this one won‘t be for you. It has an insidious feel where the suspense is built up over time, culminating in a dramatic finish. It is a little far fetched at times and the incredulousness does grow as the story progresses. However, it is a work of fiction where anything goes apparently, so I did find it entertaining and it kept my attention. #Pigeonhole
pickWow, what a gripping story. I found it a page turner from beginning to end. There‘s a surprising twist towards the middle which I didn‘t see coming. I think this book would be a great one to discuss amongst reading groups. I also love all the fascinating facts about bees. There is much to be learnt from this story. Just a fab and thought provoking read and one I can highly recommend. #Pigeonhole
