Amazon Reader Reviews
***** One of The Darkest Stories I have ever read ..Pitch Dark Storytelling
***** What an astonishing first thriller!
***** It's weird and gory, but keeps you wanting more
***** OMFG this book….where do I begin! It is dark and disturbing and will most certainly make you squirm.
You could be sitting next to him in a pub. You’d never notice him. But he would see you.
None of his victims had ever noticed him, sitting there, glancing occasionally at them. Even if they had, they would have seen no cause for alarm.
Bland. Uninteresting. A civil servant going home to his equally bland wife and children at the end of another working day.
Anonymous. Invisible. Faceless.
That’s what they had all thought. But they were all wrong.
Now only the ever-growing spinney of trees bears testimony that they had once existed.
Is hard-bitten ex-Military Police captain, Detective Inspector Oscar Smith up to the task of tracking him down?
And as you turn the pages to meet the killer, will you ever find sleep again?

MY REVIEW
Debut novel?? Wow I can’t wait to see what he comes up with next if this is his first novel.
DI Oscar Smith will do whatever means possible to get results. Although I can see how he can be a very unlikeable character he had a nice side too.
I absolutely love dark stories so I totally loved this. It was well written but had me squirming in my seat at times and not in a good way.
A well written dark and disturbing read that I’ll certainly be recommending.

The Family Across the Street - blog tour
BLOG TOUR
Book Description:
Sometimes, the most perfect families are hiding the most terrible secrets. How well do you know the people next door…?
Everybody wants to live on Hogarth Street, the pretty, tree-lined avenue with its white houses. The new family, The Wests, are a perfect fit. Katherine and Josh seem so in love and their gorgeous five-year-old twins race screeching around their beautiful emerald-green lawn.
But soon people start to notice: why don’t they join backyard barbecues? Why do they brush away offers to babysit? Why, when you knock at the door, do they shut you out, rather than inviting you in?
Every family has secrets, and on the hottest day of the year, the truth is about to come out. As a tragedy unfolds behind closed doors, the dawn chorus is split by the wail of sirens. And one by one the families who tried so hard to welcome the Wests begin to realise: Hogarth Street will never be the same again.
A completely gripping, twist-packed psychological thriller, perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty, Sally Hepworth and Lisa Jewell.
MY REVIEW
The Family Across the Street is a gripping read that sucked me in completely.
I love that there are different points of view so we get a better view of the different characters and the story.
The story starts with a bang and gripped my attention all the way through. I read this in an afternoon as I couldn’t put it down.
I’m not gonna rehash the story but I will say this story certainly had me thinking.. we definitely don’t know what goes on behind closed doors.
I’m already looking forward to reading this authors next story.

MY REVIEW
Gold Digger is my first but certainly not my last read by this author.
Julie is a very likeable character and we can see she will do anything she can to protect her younger sister Frankie. Along with Ralph they are a force to be reckoned with.
I thought this was a well written story with a great storyline. If your looking for a page Turner then get 1-clicking.
