Worth your time, but maybe not the lingering headache

The Treatment by Mo Hayder

May 30, 2022 by Zirza Leave a Comment

Crime fiction is an odd thing. Visit your average thriller-horror-Facebook group and you’ll regularly find people looking for books that portray the extremes of human behaviour. “The sicker the better”, as they put it.

Great author, great book

More to the Story by Hena Kahn

May 30, 2022 by Bibliophile Leave a Comment

I love this author! Hena Kahn wrote the book Amina's Voice and its sequel Amina's Song which are both amazing. This is another amazing book by her. I prefer Amina's Voice, but I might be a little biased since that was my absolute favorite book when I was 8. More to the Story by Hena Kahn is … [Read more]

    on Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to Abduct
    I read them in the late 1980s/early 90s too. They were my first romances.

    on Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to Abduct
    I read my way through her books, and those of Kathleen Woodiwiss and Shirley Busbee, in the 1980s and 'bonkers'...

    Yes! It’s downright offensive! I do love Lady Catherine
