Here’s the summer six:
Disclaimer by Renée Knight – Destination: London, Tarifa
How would you feel if someone not only knew your deepest darkest secret but wrote a book about it? Sometimes keeping a secret can be worse than revealing it. Disturbing and chilling in equal measure. This book had a real twist to it and there is one creepy character in this one.
Little Boy Blue by MJ Arlidge Destination: London
Dare you go inside The Torture Room? Blimey this one will make your toes curl. One of the most horrific death scenes I’ve read in a long while but a thriller that really had me wondering how on earth it was all going to end. Helen Grace is quite a character and if you haven’t come across her before you should as she is quite unlike any other.
Lying in Wait by Liz Nugent – Destination: Dublin
This one has been on many bloggers top picks and it’s not hard to see why. Thrills and spills a plenty
With what has to be one of the most cracking first lines in a novel, this is definately a thriller you won’t forget. “You can never really know someone. No, sometimes not even yourself.”
Fool Me Once by Harlan Coben Destination: New York, New Jersey
Your husband has just died but then you spot him on your nanny cam…..
My Husband’s Wife by Jane Corry Destination: London
When lawyer Lily marries Ed, she’s determined to make a fresh start – to leave the secrets of her past behind. But when she takes on a new case, she starts to find herself strangely drawn to her client.
In A Dark, Dark Wood by Ruth Ware Destination: Northumberland, Kielder Forest
A dark dark wood in Northumberland is not where you would want to be in the company of this group of people… A great setting for a thriller – dark woods in the middle of nowhere, five friends, virtual strangers cut off from civilsation with no neighbours or outward signs of life within a few mile radius.
