I actually read The Closer I Get, by Paul Burston, back in Pride Month, which was a total coincidence because I hadn’t realised that the main character was a gay man. It was really nice to read a character that gave a slightly different perspective. In addition, he is a writer whose first book was…
‘Compelling’ THE SURVIVORS, by Jane Harper #bookreview #whattoread #mustread @janeharperautho
Jane Harper has become a firm favourite of mine. Her psychological thrillers don’t simply have twists and turns, they have authentic characters and real emotions driving them. The Survivors is another class act, telling the compelling tale of murder in a small seaside resort, and how it stirs up past traumas for all involved. I…

‘Intelligent, character-driven, gritty and gripping’ YOU DON’T KNOW ME, by Imran Mahmood #bookrecommendations #mustread #whattoread @imranmahmood777
You Don’t Know Me, by Imran Mahmood, is intelligent, character-driven, gritty and gripping – but at it’s heart is a love story that felt so real. I listened to the audiobook, and the narration by the exceptionally talented Adam Deacon was absolutely perfect; he brought the story to life and completely embodied the main character….
How my dogs inspire my writing – and my latest psychological thriller
‘Pet’ doesn’t come close to describing the deep connection of the soul that happens between a person and their animals. They are best friend and family all rolled into one. They never judge or criticise, never steamroller over ideas, and never lie. There is no cruelty there. They simply live in the moment. They are…
5 crimes that influenced my writing of THE GIRL IN THE MISSING POSTER
This article can be read in full in Crime Spree Magazine. This is an abridged version. On the surface, The Girl In The Missing Poster is about Leila Hawkins, a police cadet who disappeared, aged 19, after leaving her dad’s birthday party during a storm. It’s about far more than that, though. It’s about the…

‘A sense of unease runs through every sentence.’ #bookreview DEITY, by Matt Wesolowski.
It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of the Six Stories series, by Matt Wesolowski. I’ve recommended every single book in the series so far… and Deity is no different. As ever, it’s told in the form of a podcast, as main character Scott King interviews various people in order to gain six perspectives on…
