Ahhh how I adored this story! I was pulled into this captivating and descriptive mystery thriller by V.J. Randle.<\/span> Can I just say, the opening of The Athenian Murders was simply devious\u2026 the description of the crime was impactful and absolutely had me hooked from that moment. Like OMFG brilliant \ud83d\udc4f\ud83c\udffb<\/span><\/p>\nTold in dual POV\u2019s we meet the broken Michail Mikras and immediately you see a man who is different from his colleagues but insightful and vulnerable too. Then there is Sofia who is one who will not take any BS but who also has to prove herself, in a different way, to her colleagues. They are quite similar in many ways whilst also being completely different. <\/span><\/h4>\nI actually loved all the characters in this story, even the unlikeable ones as they drove the story forward. <\/span>A page-turning, immersive and fantastically compulsive #whydunnit, this will not be the last book I read from this author!<\/span><\/h4>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/crimebookjunkie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_7263-188x300.jpeg\")
<\/p>\n
Heleen Kist writes thought-provoking, clever thrillers and What I Hid From You is the perfect example of this. The opening had me intrigued, showing how something can change you\/your life significantly. The story is told from multiple POV\u2019s and family, fear and forever looking over your shoulder features strong in the novel. Tense drama, secrets, addiction and protecting those you love NO MATTER the cost drove this story.<\/h4>\nI felt the pressure, sheer desperation and with strong\/well developed characters, both good and bad \u2013 I really felt in the moment. Definitely a must read!<\/h4>\n

Hot damn \ud83e\udd2f None of This is True by Lisa Jewell is one mind f\u2728ck of a read! It is also one of those novels where I fear saying too much will give the game away, so trust me when I tell you it is incredible. I loved the pre and post pandemic timeline \u2013 especially as the author used it to her advantage with how the story played out. The connections of people & places features strong, with secrets, delusions galore and a search from the truth taking the lead. Josie and Alix were fantastically written characters and if you love unreliable narrators as much as I do, you will devour this book! A slow-burn and incredibly tense psychological podcast thriller I highly recommend.<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n
One of the best opening chapters I\u2019ve come across in a long time, Speak of the Devil by Rose Wilding was a shocking and completely addictive read. There is so much to unpack in this thriller but boy did it deliver on everything \u2013 incredibly complex but relatable characters, an extremely hooky storyline and more twists and turns than a windy old road. Told in multiple POV\u2019s you learn a lot about the backstory and other characters from the various leads in this novel. Narcissism, betrayal, secrets, nature vs. nurture, revenge\u2026 it was such a well put together thriller. Highly recommend!<\/h4>\n

Heleen Kist writes thought-provoking, clever thrillers and What I Hid From You is the perfect example of this. The opening had me intrigued, showing how something can change you\/your life significantly. The story is told from multiple POV\u2019s and family, fear and forever looking over your shoulder features strong in the novel. Tense drama, secrets, addiction and protecting those you love NO MATTER the cost drove this story.<\/h4>\nI felt the pressure, sheer desperation and with strong\/well developed characters, both good and bad \u2013 I really felt in the moment. Definitely a must read!<\/h4>\n
<\/p>\n
Hot damn \ud83e\udd2f None of This is True by Lisa Jewell is one mind f\u2728ck of a read! It is also one of those novels where I fear saying too much will give the game away, so trust me when I tell you it is incredible. I loved the pre and post pandemic timeline \u2013 especially as the author used it to her advantage with how the story played out. The connections of people & places features strong, with secrets, delusions galore and a search from the truth taking the lead. Josie and Alix were fantastically written characters and if you love unreliable narrators as much as I do, you will devour this book! A slow-burn and incredibly tense psychological podcast thriller I highly recommend.<\/h4>\n
<\/p>\n
One of the best opening chapters I\u2019ve come across in a long time, Speak of the Devil by Rose Wilding was a shocking and completely addictive read. There is so much to unpack in this thriller but boy did it deliver on everything \u2013 incredibly complex but relatable characters, an extremely hooky storyline and more twists and turns than a windy old road. Told in multiple POV\u2019s you learn a lot about the backstory and other characters from the various leads in this novel. Narcissism, betrayal, secrets, nature vs. nurture, revenge\u2026 it was such a well put together thriller. Highly recommend!<\/h4>\n

What \ud83d\udc4f\ud83c\udffb a \ud83d\udc4f\ud83c\udffb brilliant \ud83d\udc4f\ud83c\udffb concept! Told in a mixed media format, Cara Hunter\u2019s Murder in the Family was gripping and really kept me on my toes. I had both the kindle and paperback to read from (the kindle was harder to follow IMO so I\u2019d recommend reading the PB version). It opens with a newspaper clipping and immediately had me wanting more. If you love Janice Hallett, I think you will really enjoy this one too. The who dunnit was fed via interviews, clippings etc and I felt like I was on the page, hunting for the truth and waiting for the big revelation. A must read for sure!<\/h4>\nHave you read any of these? Have any recs for me that might be similar?
