Hidden Truth by C D Steele This is the third book in the series and my first introduction to ex-MI6 turned private investigator, Joe Wilde. The author certainly doesn't shy away from controversial and unpleasant story lines and Hidden Truth is perhaps not one for those of a delicate disposition. As seems to be the way, both Joe Wilde and DI Carl Whatmore are working multiple cases - one of which involves a pair of lack lustre killers who specialise in a rather brutal line of delivery.

Hidden Truth by C D Steele is the 3rd in the series featuring ex-MI6 turned PI, Joe Wilde 💙📚 #BookSky @rararesources.bsky.social

Blind Pursuit by Rob Sinclair 4 Stars from me Right from the start there is an immediate sense that something's not quite right with the information that being provided. Then it cuts to Callum, who's dealing with grief and confusion, trying to make sense of what he's just been told. At this point you can already sense there's more going on beneath the surface, and I already had hunches and many questions.

Evil in the Family by Michael Wood 5 Stars from me ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I don't know how he does it but Michael Wood just gets better and better. His is a true and authentic voice in the crime thriller / police procedural / psychological genre with an instantly recognisable writing style that captures the reader from the very first page. This, the 3rd in the Dr Olivia Winter series, is the best so far, in it Wood has mastered the craft and brings each and every person to vivid life - albeit usually straight before dispatching them in an often gruesome death.

Voices from the Dead by Tony Bassett 4 Stars from me There's so much that really scratches the itch for me in this book. There's a beauty influencer - honestly this intrigues me, the rise from being either just an ordinary kid, or the popular kid, or even the quiet no one notices me kid, into an adored influencer. Just incredible and I find it fascinating. Anyway, our Candy Goodhope (awesome name) is exactly that but who kills her and why?

The House of Mystery by Joy Ellis 4 Stars from me Goodness me I was absolutely spellbound by the 'gift of auric sight' that Ellie has. Wow what a wonderful concept, I'd love to have that. Early on in the book we find a few similar characters with psychic gifts and I knew straight away I was going to love reading this. Such a clever take on the subject that truly gave me chills at times.

It’s Not What You Think by Clare Mackintosh 5 Stars from me There's clever, and there's twisty, and then there's this. Clare Mackintosh has nailed it with this book - as Missy Elliott put it so well 'Is it worth it? Let me work it. I put my thang down, flip it and reverse it' because the minute I thought I knew what was going on, the story flipped on its head.

Murder at the Water Mill by Jon Harris 4 Stars from me This is a ridiculously charming read - and I had to remind myself that it was book 4 in a series as I didn't at all feel like I had jumped in part way through as can sometimes be the case. PI Julia is a fearless character and she was fun to follow as she steps in where the local police fail to, and collaborates with the water mill trust to investigate what they believe to be a murder.

The Surgeon by John Nicholl 4 Stars from me I think this is the first John Nicholl book that I've read and I greatly enjoyed receiving the story via short chapters of differing POVs throughout this book that delivered the story in satisfying chunks. Professor Alexander Aitken was a great character. Horrible, but great. Attaching a word like 'innocent' to him is almost comedic and the author handles that arc beautifully.

The Mysterious Affair of Judith Potts by Robert Thorogood 4.5 Stars from me I've watched, rather than read, the previous installments of this series and so was delighted to find that the books reads exactly like the TV episodes. And having seen the actors on screen really brought the book to life for me as it was easy to picture them all, and in particular Judith's wonderful house, as I read.

I swear this one could write murder notes at breakfast, waft around the castle wearing her cloak, and still no one would suspect her

I get the absolute flashback horrors from it, lord knows how she feels. I'd be like 'please have all my worldly possessions in return for deleting that'
