Review: Jill

Jill by N. Joy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The author has added a hint of Sweeney Todd , Burke and Hare along side her main object the notorious killers Jack the ripper and Mary (Wheeler) Pearcy to created a wonderful piece of fiction.

These names will be familiar to a lot of readers and they won't be disappointed with what the author has achieved.

The book has a brilliant twist to two well known stories and the author has done a wonderful job making of Mary Pearcy your narrator from the first page to the very last. At times the reader is left wondering whether to feel sorry for Mary or just to of her think of as a pure evil woman ( But I'm not going to tell you why you will have to read the book to find out ).

If you thought you knew everything about Jack the Ripper then think again because Mary has a tale to tell you.

Highly recommended

Review: Last Train to Lime Street

Last Train to Lime Street by Brian L. Porter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Last Train is the most recent book in the Mersey Murder Mysteries series by Brian L. Porter .

Detective Inspector Andy Ross, Detective Sergeant Izzie Drake and the Special Murder Investigation Team are back with a bang.

The opening crime scene is quite graphic and definitely is not for the faint hearted , a body has been callously been thrown from a railway bridge and hit by a train (Hence my warning about the graphic scene I felt quite queasy after reading it).

D.I. Ross and his team are called in to investigate the crime , the trail leads them into the porn industry and an interesting set of characters. But is the killer to be found among them or is the team looking in the wrong place for a cold hearted killer.

I enjoyed reading the novel and would definitely say the author has delivered what his readers have come to expected from him, an interesting background ,a storyline with lots of twists turns plus a few red herring and finally an interesting set of characters some of whom you will like while others you won't .

To find out what happens pick yourself up copy.

Review: Deadly Reality TV Series

Deadly Reality TV Series by Sea Caummisar
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Damon Dahmer is a psychotic satanist oh and he is a entertainment producer who he has come up with a new Reality TV show. It has a simple concept all the contestants have to do is out bid each other and earn the right to injure themselves for very large sums of money. 

The author Sea Caummisar has taken an original idea and come up with something spectacular.

This reader found herself feeling queasy at the lengths the contestants would go to win money . I don't think there is any amount money of that will convince me to my harm self.

If you're looking for something new , something different something that will leave you squirming in seat and q really good page turner definitely give this book a try.

I can't wait for Book 2

Review: Death and Destruction on the Thames in London

Death and Destruction on the Thames in London by Anthony Galvin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Thank you to Sapere Books and Netgalley for allowing me to read this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

The Thames runs through the heart of London, and acts as a silent witness to London's history and as unwitting accomplice to death and destruction.

The book looks at the history of the Thames and it's surrounding areas, spanning from the time of the Romans to the present day and covers everything from shipwrecks to murder.

It's a great book for reading front to back or for dipping in and out of whichever you prefer. There were a few errors in historical facts and locations but these can be forgiven as I still found the book to be quite an interesting read and full of fascinating stories.

I don't think anyone can read this book and quite not look at the Thames in the same light again

If you enjoy your history this is definitely a book you should read.
