The Garnett Girls by Georgina Moore #BookReview #BlogTour

Meet The Garnett Girls … Three sisters living in the shadow of their parents' glorious but devastating love affair. Rachel , desperate to return to London, but held hostage by the beloved, crumbling house they grew up in on the Isle of Wight. Imogen , with a devoted fiancé and a fledgling writing career, feeling a dangerous connection to a beautiful stranger. And wild, passionate Sasha , trapped between her sisters and her controlling husband, hiding a secret that could shake their family to the core… I'm delighted to be hosting the blog tour for The Garnett Girls by Georgina Moore today. Many thanks to HQ and Anne Cater from Random Things Tours for inviting me and for sending me a copy of the novel. It's been a few years since I visited the Isle of Wight but Georgina Moore's evocative descriptions of the island transported me back there effortlessly. However, despite its many charms, the Garnett Girls – Rachel, Imogen and Sasha – have a complicated, emotional relatio

The Kitchen by Simone Buchholz (tr. by Rachel Ward) #BookReview #BlogTour

When neatly packed male body parts wash up by the River Elbe, Hamburg State Prosecutor Chastity Riley and her colleagues begin a perplexing investigation. As the murdered men are identified, it becomes clear that they all had a history of abuse towards women, leading Riley to wonder if it would actually be in society’s best interests to catch the killers. But when her best friend Carla is attacked, and the police show little interest in tracking down the offenders, Chastity takes matters into her own hands. As a link between the two cases emerges, horrifying revelations threaten Chastity’s own moral compass, and put everything at risk… It's such a pleasure to be hosting the blog tour for The Kitchen by Simone Buchholz today. Many thanks to Orenda Books and Anne Cater for inviting me and for sending me an advance copy of the novel. I've always been a huge fan of Simone Buchholz's series about Hamburg State Prosecutor, Chastity Riley and am delighted that Orenda Books are pub

Three Pint Problems by Melvyn Small #BookReview #BlogBlitz

Doctor John Watson has reached into his archives to treat us to three feature-length adventures. In The Darlington Substitution, The Devil’s Advocate and Murder on the Teesside Princess we see Boro’s greatest detective at the height of his wisecracking, foulmouthed, law disregarding and deductive brilliance. If the devil is in the detail, he has nowhere to hide. It's my pleasure to be sharing my review of Three Pint Problems today. Many thank to Mel Small for inviting me and for sending me a digital copy of his book. Although I wouldn't consider myself a Sherlock aficionado, I have read several of Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle's stories in the past and enjoy seeing how such a well-known character can be adapted and updated. Three Pint Problems is the third book in Melvyn Small's Accidental Detective series which finds Sherlock Holmes as a sweary working-class man with a criminal record, who solves crimes in current day Middlesbrough. Of course, Sherlock needs his Watson and

Palamedes PR #Q&A #BlogTour

I'm delighted to be taking part in a blog tour for Palamedes PR today. Their award-winning book and product launch publicity campaigns generate headlines for great books, new stuff and good causes in the national and international press every working day of the year. Book bloggers are no longer considered ‘fringe media’ but important vehicles to promote new titles, authors and publishers. Unlike mainstream news and feature outlets, which reach a wide but less targeted audience, blogs like Hair Past A Freckle are the go-to destination of choice for engaged consumers who return time and time again for expert reviews and advice. According to Palamedes PR , the UK’s market-leading book marketing agency, bloggers can be instrumental in shaping the overall success of a new release and are an indispensable force in the public relations industry. Here, I speak to one of its publicists, Anthony Harvison, to find out why book blogs are reshaping the literary marketing and sales landscape, a

The Shadow Network by Tony Kent #BookReview

How do you take down an enemy when no one believes they exist? When the lawyers of alleged war criminal Hannibal Strauss are caught up in a terror attack in The Hague, barrister Michael Devlin immediately suspects all is not what it seems. Teaming up once more with Agent Joe Dempsey, they must find who's behind it all before any more innocent lives are lost. With their key witness on the run and assassins on their tail, their only lead is a codename: the Monk, a legendary and mysterious foreign agent with a fearsome reputation. But what is his stake in this dangerous game? And just who is part of his shadowy network of spies? Caught in a complicated web of lies, secrets and double agents, there's no one Dempsey and Devlin can trust but themselves. Many thanks to Elliott & Thompson for my digital copy of the novel, received through Netgalley. Tony Kent knows exactly how to grab the attention of his readers and to tighten that grip right up until the final page. The Shadow

The Unspeakable Acts of Zina Pavlou by Eleni Kyriacou #BookReview #BookTour

THEY HAVE TOLD SO MANY LIES ABOUT ME. London, 1954 . Zina Pavlou, a Cypriot grandmother, waits quietly in the custody of the Metropolitan police. She can't speak their language, but she understands what their wary looks mean: she has been accused of the brutal murder of her daughter-in-law. Eva Georgiou, Greek interpreter for the Met, knows how it feels to be voiceless as an immigrant woman. While she works as Zina’s translator, her obsession with the case deepens, and so too does her bond with the accused murderer. Zina can’t speak for herself. She can’t clear her own name. All she can do is wait for the world to decide... IS SHE A VICTIM? OR IS SHE A KILLER? A compelling historical crime novel set in the Greek diaspora of 1950s London – that's inspired by a true story – The Unspeakable Acts of Zina Pavlou is perfect for fans of Erin Kelly, Sara Collins, and Jessie Burton. I must express my sincere apologies to Eleni Kyriacou, Head of Zeus and Rachel Gilbey from Rachel's
