Books read in 2024

Most of the books I read in 2024 (No matter how hard I try and keep track of things I always forget some!)

January

Brilliant author so was really pleased to be part of this blog tour.

Had a brilliant time reading through this series from the beginning. #teamtennison

An enjoyable mystery.

Enjoyable if slightly predictable tale of a hen party that goes very wrong.

February

I’m #teamtennison all the way.

A brilliant tale of friendship and jealously. Highly recommend.

Another great tennison tale from crime queen Lynda La Plante

Great book and a brilliant discussion lead by Claire Shaw.

Would you kill someone is asked?

March

Throughly enjoyed this tale. It was the 10th in a series and I’ll be looking out for the others.

A great author that I always enjoy reading and this was no exception.

Enjoyable story I picked up after a chance meeting with the author at a wedding.

This was a good read that kept me turning the pages until late into the night.

April

One of my favourite books of the year this was a fantastic read.

I loved this, I’d forgetten how much I like Chelsea Cain’s books.

Utterly compelling read, heartbreaking yet the courage that she shows in incredibly uplifting.

Brilliantly funny novel about an unlikely crime fighting duo.

May

This was a fascinating book telling the story of the Women killed by Jack the Ripper

An author we met at Capital Crime. Her story was so amazing I had to read the book.

Another Capital Crime one. Really enjoyed this so much that I ended up reading it twice later in the year.

June

Another great story from Isabel Ashdown.

Superb story. Really original and a great fun read as well as a beautiful book.

A great closed mystery story of families and disagreements.

I’m a big fan of Ruth Ware and this was another gripping story.

July

Not my usual type of book but I loved this charming little tale.

Another great story, I enjoyed reading through Isabel’s back catalogue.

This was a good read from an author I wasn’t that familar with.

The #teamtennison blog tour finale.

A good story if a little long.

August

This was one of my favourites of this tour.

I think Kathy Reichs is a great author and this was a cracking read.

I’m a big fan of these spy thrillers.

Heartwarming and very funny.

Brilliantly funny story set in 1890’s Krakow.

September

This is another contender for my favourite book of the year.

An intriguing read from Isabel Ashdown.

Another new author for me I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on.

Another Capital Crime author. This was a fantastic story and already have the next lined up to read.

What a brilliant book. A gripping tale of a woman out for revenge.

October

Enjoyed this story of friendship and lies

As funny as you’d expect from Marian Keyes

Another break from the norm but a lovely story of secrets, friendship and dreams.

Loved her novels so read this, definitely worth a read.

Amazing woman. This is a book I’ll be giving to all my friends.

November

Last of the Isabel Ashdown blogathon

An author I met at an event in York. This was a great read.

This was an intriguing story of friends and enemies set in Scotland.

A fun bit of escapist reading.

A book everyone should read.

December

Bad picture but good read.

Another Capital Crime one. This was a fab story with one of my new favourite heroines.

My christmas read. Patricia Cornwell never disappoints and this was no exception.

Review coming soon

Fascinating look into the lives of Victorian Women
