    Voices from the Dead by Tony Bassett

    A well-written and atmospheric crime thriller with vivid scene setting and a steady, methodical pace. Although this is the eighth book in the Detectives Roy and Roscoe series, I found it easy to read as a standalone and an enjoyable, character-led mystery. #TonyBassett #VoicesFromTheDead #JoffeBooks #ZooloosBookTours 📚⭐️⭐️⭐️✒️ (MoMoBookDiary 2026)

  • The Wedding Lies by Jade Lee Wright

    The Wedding Lies by Jade Lee Wright

    Cut off from the outside world in an isolated estate, this psychological thriller is steeped in unease from the very beginning. Suspicion quietly builds, secrets begin to surface, and nothing feels quite as it should. Tense, unsettling, and carefully paced, it drew me in completely and left a lingering sense that danger was never far away. #JadeLeeWright #TheWeddingLies #JoffeBooks #NetGalley #ZooloosBookTours 📚 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ✒️ #4stars (MoMoBookDiary 2026)

    Bruised Sole by Graeme and Robert Parker

    A deeply moving and unfiltered read, Bruised Sole goes far beyond the man millions recognise as The Hoof GP.

This is a raw, compassionate account of survival, humanity and the unseen battles many people carry. #BruisedSole #GraemeParker #RobertParker #TheHoofGP #TheHerd #NonFiction 👩🏻‍💻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #BestRead2025 (MoMoBookDiary 2025)

  • Miss Winter in the Library with a Knife by Martin Edwards

    Miss Winter in the Library with a Knife by Martin Edwards

    The snowbound village setting, festive yet tense, drew me in completely, and the clever, playful mystery kept me second-guessing every character. Martin Edwards balances golden-age charm with sharp, fresh plotting, making this an atmospheric, absorbing read. Vivid characters, intricate clues, and just the right amount of mischief make this one of my favourite reads of the year. #MartinEdwards #MissWinterInTheLibraryWithAKnife #HeadofZeus 👩🏻‍💻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #BestRead2025 (MoMoBookDiary 2025)

    Dark Tides by Freya Wallace

    A strong and atmospheric follow-up to Hollow Ground, this second DI Knox novel shifts the setting from Dartmoor to Exmouth with great effect.
