Nick by Michael Farris Smith

In 1925 F.Scott Fitzgerald wrote his iconic novel, The Great Gatsby. Now, 125 years later Gatsby fans are being gifted a treat of a book. Simply named, Nick is a deeply moving portrait of the years that brought Nick Carraway to Long Island and into Gatsby’s lavishly hedonistic world. This prequel to one of literature’s most treasured books really excited me!

Poison In The Pills by August Raine

This independently-published debut novel is a fast paced adrenaline-rush story that’s spookily relevant to the events of 2020-21.

The Jigsaw Man by Nadine Matheson

If you like your crime-fiction thrillers to be on the grisly side, then The Jigsaw Man is undoubtedly the book for you. This is exhilarating murder mystery is all the more remarkable for being the author’s debut novel, and I promise you’ll be absolutely hooked.

To say I’m looking forward to the publication of this book is something of an understatement. Who wouldn’t want to be swept away into the heady rock n’ roll world of the 1960s and ’70s?!

Call Me Mummy by Tina Baker

It’s no coincidence that #CallMeMummy is being released in time for Mother’s Day, although this dark and twisty thriller isn’t the cosy, comforter that you’d normally associate with this heart-warming day.

Instructions for setting the perfect scene to read Ruthless Women: i) scarlet mani-pedi, ii) youtube playing ‘soothing waves’ in the background, iii) a glass of something chilled and delicious, iv) a dangerously vertiginous pair of killer heels … to sit down in! You’re now ready to enter the studios of Falcon Bay.

The Holdout by Graham Moore

Published on 16th Feb 2021 by The Book's Whiskers6 Comments

Nobody warned me quite how engrossing I was going to find The Holdout. It’s utterly addictive! And it’s the reason I’ve got absolutely nothing done since I picked it up for a “quick chapter” yesterday afternoon.

My Brother by Karin Smirnoff

My Brother is a Swedish-translation debut novel that’s going to divide opinions both for its difficult subject matter and the distinctive writing style. Due for UK release on 4th March, it’s already making ripples in the book world, and will undoubtedly appeal to fans of Scandi-noir dramas.

Slough House by Mick Herron

I can’t quite begin to do justice to how excited I was to get my mitts on this latest instalment in the superbly caustic Jackson Lamb spy-thriller series. Its timely arrival has played merry-hell with my TBR though … but it was too good to wait in line.
