Get your adrenalin pumping!
Two young girls on their gap year go missing in
Thailand; their families frantic, desperate and
thrust into the international spotlight. A journalist
wants to be first with the story, but keeps thinking
of her own travelling son whom she hasn’t seen
for two years. We raced through Fiona Barton’s
The Suspect ... it’s gripping and full of twists to
keep you guessing. Couldn’t put it down! Penguin,
R290 • One death might be an accident. Two look
like murder. A detective investigating the shooting
of a man by his pregnant wife recognises her as
the same woman who, apparently accidentally,
shot her father 16 years before. Now she must find
out if the woman has twice been a victim, or if
she’s about to, once again, get away with murder.
Never Tell by Lisa Gardner is all twists, turns and a
thrilling read. Penguin, R290
The Taking of Annie Thorne by CJ Tudor
(The Chalk Man) is not an enjoyable read.
But it’s one you won’t be able to put down.
It’s the dark tale of Joe Thorn, a troubled
man who returns to his home town ... a
town where once, years ago, his sister went
missing for two days and then came back.
But although no one could put their finger
on it, something was just wrong with little
Annie. A twist which will give you shivers at
the end! Penguin, R290 • In Out of the Dark,
Gregg Hurwitz has the incredible Orphan X,
Evan Smoak, working out how to kill the
president of the USA. This is the fourth
Orphan X novel ... once again a fast-paced,
edge-of-your-seat, brilliant read. Penguin,
R290 • Saints and Sinners is a rather macabre
theme for a wedding ... even more so when
a young woman is found murdered. With
no means of identification and with all
guests denying knowing her, psychologist
Alex Delaware and LAPD Lieutenant Milo
Sturgis have to question hundreds of guests
to find out who the victim is and why she
was murdered. In Jonathan Kellerman’s
The Wedding Guest, the reception’s over, and
the hunt for a killer is on! Century, R270
