A fantastic crime thriller! I was pleasantly surprised. The storyline was easy to follow, plenty of twists and turns and many a time guessing the ‘who dunnit’. The problem I had is with the way some of it was written, in some places the style just didn’t appeal to me and put me off just a little. But it’s the storyline and characters, the description and the grittyness that it’s all about for me.

Let’s start with the characters. DC Beth Chamberlain is our main character. We do get given the briefest of backgrounds on her but I felt in places that it just leaves us wondering about the previous case when as far as I can find, there’s no book before this one? I may be wrong though. But I found that a little irritating. But on a whole she was a great lead character. She had a heart and feelings that ran deep. She makes a great detective but also an amazing family liaison officer too. But she does her
Too invested.
The secondary characters were all good as well, bar Andrea - but every book had to have an unapproachable detective, right? Nick was a sweet guy and the perfect person to partner Beth up with. He was quite amusing in places but always had Beth’s back.

The storyline was great, it lacks a bit in places but it’s otherwise a strong story with great imagination from the author. I felt it was easy to guess the common denominator between each case but the detectives acted clueless. But it’s was great read and one I would definitely recommend.

The writing style for the most part was good, there were places that I just couldn’t connect with but the story did not lack descriptions and that’s perfect. I love a book that makes you feel like you’re there and can picture each scene as if you were there, this author did that flawlessly.

Great read. Definitely recommended!

~*BOOK REVIEW*~ Little White Lies by Philippa East Add to Goodreads TBR: http://bit.ly/2qdiqVj Pre-order Links: RELEASING February 4, 2020! Amazon US: https://amzn.to/2r1JV44 Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/2D0mBWZ 5 ***** This book has to be my second most favourite book I've ever read. It's incredibly insightful and cleverly put together. This author knows how to keep her readers hooked to every word, every page and every detail. My mind has officially been blown with this psychological thriller. And it's definitely one I recommend if you love twists and turns, cleverness and tenseness. This story has it ALL. Anne, Abigail, Jess, Lillian, Robert, Fraser, Preston, Laurie & Sam, were all FANTASTIC characters. Preston wasn't mentioned so much, but as Abigail's father, I thought to include him in the list. Laurie & Sam too, Abigail's little twin brothers because they had a small impact later in the book. Abi...

Amazon US: https://amzn.to/2E6OUUZ Amazon UK: https://amzn.to/30hFzmE 3 *** This was a great step up from the last book I read from this author, but still no where near his best. I know he can produce phenomenal stories.. this isn’t one of them. Though the last quarter of the book was gripping, exciting and in a way, fun.  I liked Colter Shaw, but I didn’t like the fact that he never smiled, he was cold as hell (when he should be a bit friendlier to certain people) and little dense. Maddie’s character though, urgh, what a drab. I didn’t like her personality and she was way too strong.  But Standish made a fabulous character. Absolutely adored her work ethics and her personality. She was the best character throughout.  The storyline was a good one, though this author likes to jump from scene to ...
