  • Of Devotion and Death by Anastasia Hastings

    Of Devotion and Death by Anastasia Hastings

    From the first few pages I was completely immersed in 1885 and knew I wouldn’t be leaving my chair until I’d reached the final page.

  • The TRIAL of PATTY HEARST: The Captive Mind by Céline Fitzmaurice

    The TRIAL of PATTY HEARST: The Captive Mind by Céline Fitzmaurice

    The Trial of Patty Hearst: The Captive Mind is a fascinating courtroom drama that left me questioning everything. Listening twice still didn’t give me all the answers, but that’s exactly what made it so compelling. Thought-provoking, immersive and brilliantly performed, this latest Trials of the Century production stayed with me long after it ended. #TrialOfTheCentury #TheTrialOfPattyHearst #TheCaptiveMind #CelineFitzmaurice #ClassicCrimeLimited #NetGalley #audiobookreview #nonfiction #truecrime 👩🏻‍💻 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (MoMoBookDiary 2026)

    I wasn’t sure what to expect from this new-to-me author, and the unusual narrative style took a little getting used to. However, the compelling plot, short chapters and constant sense of suspense soon had me completely hooked. Although the ending didn’t quite reach the heights I was hoping for, this was still an engaging psychological thriller that kept me turning the pages. #AlistairBirch #TwoStatesOneKiller #WonkyWillowPublishing #ZooloosBookTours 👩🏻‍💻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (MoMoBookDiary 2026)
