If you haven't read any of Cara Black's novels featuring Aimee Leduc, Murder on the Quai is a great place to start. Although this is her 15th novel, Murder on the Quai tells the tale of how Aimee Leduc began her career as an investigator. Evil deeds are rarely forgotten, particularly those committed in times of war. It is 1989 and the Berlin Wall has fallen. Records are b

The Doppelgänger is an engrossing psychological thriller
The Doppelgänger By P Wish Createspace Mystery & Thrillers, Scifi & Fantasy Pub Date: March 23, 2016 Review The Doppelgänger is a novel, rich in emotion but extremely troubling. It is a psychological thriller that shook me, even while I was unable to stop turning the pages. It is so difficult to draw a line between the real and the imagined. Like Darcy, the reader is entrapped in a web of fear and suspicion, unable to break free to communicate or share what she believes is

Review
Single Wired Female has an intriguing premise, but while the start is promising, the novel falters midway. There is no logical progression that culminates in the story's resolution. Instead the author waves a magic wand which results in the plot being neatly ended with the android lead awakening 50 years later to an almost happily ever after - no explanat

The 1950s marked a period of great change for British society as well as the British police force. The DCI Callum police procedurals wonderfully depict the changing culture and attitudes while giving the reader a thrilling mystery. Part of what makes these novels so enjoyable is that DCI Callum is not only a perceptive detective, he is also a man who cares a great deal about h
