Theakston’s Thursday 2

There were just so many good books doing the rounds at Harrogate this year that another Theakstons Thursday is required to highlight some of the best. A whole range of places to go with this lot!

A courtroom, the BBC in London, Bristol’s parks and….well

London – The Silent Patient

Ok so there’s not really any locations in this one to speak of. It’s set in London but largely in the office of a psychiatrist. A woman has apparently murdered her husband but now doesn’t speak. Only one man will be able to get answers from her. But it’s not what you think. Now this was a twist and a half!

London – The Dangerous Kind

Set in and around the radio stations of the BBC –  you’ll be looking at anyone and everyone you meet wherever you are and wondering if they are the person out of 100 that’s not normal. The pitch for this at Harrogate was fun. Who in the crowd did we think could be a psycho?

The main character hosts a show on the BBC where she talks about cold cases, investigates them and becomes obsessed with one in particular…

Bristol – Degrees of Guilt

There’s some creepy goings on in this court room. This is not the kind of jury you would want to be on. So many things going on behind the scenes, not to mention a steamy affair. What about the court case though? The woman on trial has blood on her hands. She killed her husband. But things are that simple and what IS going on in the jury behind her…

Brighton and the Forest of Dean – The Secrets You Hide

Now here’s an interesting premise – Georgia Sage works as a courtroom artist who uses her skills to help condemn those who commit terrible crimes. She can’t draw in court so she uses her notes and her memory to look at the faces of those who stand trial.

After all, her own brutal past means she knows innocence is even rarer than justice…The book proof for this was given to us with a white cover

There are more where these came from…..keep an eye out this pm and tomorrow…..
