Nothing but time ... to read and drink wine<br />
There’s no doubt that when it comes to her novels, Karin Slaughter<br />
has a sick and twisted mind. Quite possible our favourite thriller writer<br />
ever! In The Silent Wife, we jump from present day Atlanta, Georgia,<br />
where medical examiner Sara Linton and Will Trent – GBI investigator<br />
and Sara’s boyfriend – are investigating the brutal murder of a young<br />
girl. The investigation takes a wild and unexpected turn, and readers are<br />
taken back a decade to Grant Country, and a case being investigated<br />
by Jeffrey Tolliver –Sara’s husband ... and jumps back and forth between<br />
the cases and the two decades. Just JOY for those who started the<br />
Grant Country books from the beginning, with Blindsighted. Wicked<br />
twists, as there should be, a little love story to keep things sweet, a<br />
thriller we could. not. put. down. HarperCollinsPublishers. • It’s been a<br />
good month for tense reads. Massively edge-of-your-seat, beautifully<br />
written and also with a great big unexpected twist, Sarah Vaughan’s<br />
Little Disasters looks at issues of mothers not coping, friends and trust<br />
issues, families keeping secrets. Very believable, with characters you<br />
just ache for. Simon and Schuster • Lesley Pearce. Perfect for an easy,<br />
weekend read. She’s just released a new thriller titled Liar, revolving<br />
around a young woman who is desperate to be a reporter (the closest<br />
she’s come is selling advertising in the local paper!). When she discovers<br />
the body of a murder victim near her home, and hears the lies the<br />
police and reporters are spreading, she convinces the local paper’s<br />
editor to let her tell the true story. And when another body is found,<br />
she thinks she may be the one to solve the mystery and stop more<br />
murders. Michael Joseph • Staying with thrillers – that November 2019<br />
tour! Siya Kolisi – Against All Odds by Jeremy Daniel tells the story of<br />
the boy from the Zwide township who beat the odds and followed his<br />
passion from the African Bombers Club to his appointment as first black<br />
Springbok captain. Thrilling indeed. Jonathan Ball Publishers<br />
