What I Did by Kate Bradley . Lisa is running. She has taken her child, Jack, and she has run from his father. Lisa thinks she's safe.

Book post! Look at this: not one but two beauties Book post! Look at this: not one but two beauties through the door. 📚❤️👏🏻 Thank you @hodderbooks . The Burning Men by @willshind (DI Alex Finn Book 1) . When a development in South London catches fire mid-construction, a close-knit team of fire fighters runs in to save a man spotted at the window. They come out without a body. They quit the service. They plan never to speak to each other again. Five years later one of them is set alight at his own wedding. Soon after, a second is found, nothing but a smoking corpse. It appears that someone knows what they did that night. What they chose over their duty. And there are still three men left to burn . . . DI Alex Finn and his new partner DC Mattie Paulsen are an unlikely pairing, but they need to discover who is behind these killings before the next man faces the fire. . 📚📚📚📚 . The Killing Choice by @willshind (DI Alex Finn Book 2) . It felt like a normal Friday evening before Karl and his daughter Leah were ambushed by a figure in a blank mask. At knife point, Karl is forced to make an impossible choice. Stay and die, or walk away from Leah and take this thug's word that they both will live. Should Karl trust a villain and leave his daughter with a knife at her throat? Could he ever live with himself if he did? It's not long before more seemingly unconnected and innocent people across London are offered a deal in exchange for their life. More blood is spilled, more families shattered, and more people are left to suffer with the consequences of their decisions. DI Alex Finn and DC Mattie Paulsen must hunt for a killer that appears to have no face, no motive and no conscience before more victims are forced to make their choice. . #authorsofinstagram #lovebooks #lovereading #booknerd #bookclub #books #reading #bookaddict #booksofinstragram #bookstoread #booksofinsta #bibliophile #whattoread #thriller #suspense #detective #crime #investigation #bookrecommendation #bookstagram #willshindler #thekillingchoice #theburningmen
When one of your BFFs gives you her latest dark th When one of your BFFs gives you her latest dark thriller - and signs it with the message ‘character x is not (too much) like you’ 😂😂😂 You/I’ve been warned! Thank you Thomas & Mercer @amazonpublishing . The Push by @evawoodsakaclairemcgowan . The party should have been perfect: six couples from the same baby group, six newborns, a luxurious house. But not everything has gone to plan, and while some are here to celebrate, others have sorrows to drown. When someone falls from the balcony of the house, the secrets and conflicts within the group begin to spill out … DS Alison Hegarty, herself struggling with infertility, is called in to investigate. She’s convinced the fall was not an accident, and finds the new parents have a lot to hide. Wealthy Ed and Monica show off their newborn while their teenage daughter is kept under virtual house arrest. Hazel and Cathy conceived their longed-for baby via an anonymous sperm donor—or so Hazel thinks. Anita and Jeremy planned to adopt from America, but there’s no sign of the child. Kelly, whose violent boyfriend disrupted previous group sessions, came to the party even though she lost her baby. And then there’s Jax, who’s been experiencing strange incidents for months—almost like someone’s out to get her. Is it just a difficult pregnancy? Or could it be payback for something she did in the past? It’s a nightmare of a case, and as events get even darker it begins to look impossible. Only one thing is clear: they all have something to hide. And for one of them, it’s murder. . #authorsofinstagram #lovebooks #lovereading #booknerd #bookclub #books #reading #bookaddict #booksofinstragram #bookstoread #booksofinsta #bibliophile #whattoread #thriller #suspense #mystery #investigation #escape #bookrecommendation #bookstagram #clairemcgowan #thepush

Book post! You know you’ve got a corker when you Book post! You know you’ve got a corker when you’re flicking through it before you’ve even dropped the envelope in the recycling. How fascinating is this? 🔪🩸📚Thank you, Robinson publishers @littlebrownbookgroup_uk . From Aconite to the Zodiac Killer: A Dictionary of Crime by @amandaleeswriter . This is an indispensable guide for fans of true crime and crime fiction, whether in books, film or on TV, who want to look behind the crime, to understand the mechanics of an investigation, to walk in their favourite detectives' shoes and, most importantly, to solve the clues. To do that, one needs to be fluent in the language of the world of crime. We need to know what that world-weary DI is talking about when she refers to another MISPER. We have to immediately grasp the significance of the presence of paraquat, and precisely why it is still a poison of choice. If you want to know how many murders it takes for a killer to be defined as a serial killer, what Philip Marlowe means when he talks about being 'on a confidential lay' and why the 'fruit of a poisonous tree' is a legal term rather than something you should avoid on a country walk, this is the reference book you've been waiting for. It covers police and procedural terms and jargon of many different countries; acronyms; murder methods; criminal definitions, including different types of killers; infamous killers and famous detectives; notorious cases often referred to in crime fiction and true crime; gangster slang, including that of the Eastern European mafia; definitions of illegal drugs; weapons; forensic terminology; types of poisons; words and phrases used in major crime genres, including detective fiction, legal thrillers, courtroom dramas, hardboiled crime, Scandi and Tartan Noir, cosy crime and psychological thrillers; criminology terms; and the language of the courts and the legal systems of British, American, French, Nordic... . #authorsofinstagram #lovebooks #lovereading #booknerd #bookclub #books #reading #bookaddict #booksofinstragram #bookstoread #booksofinsta #bibliophile #whattoread #thriller #suspense #crime #bookrecommendation #bookstagram

Book post! Very excited to receive this from hosta Book post! Very excited to receive this from hostage negotiator and former chief superintendent of the Met, John Sutherland, ahead of interviewing him on stage with Peter James at the Chiddingstone Castle Literary Festival @chiddlitfest which is taking place from Thursday, May 7 to Sunday, May 10. 📚📖☕️ . Crossing The Line: Lessons from a Life on Duty by John Sutherland . As a society, we are captivated by policing; we watch police procedurals and fly-on-the-wall documentaries and absorb the headlines on the rolling news. Yet how much do we really know about the world that policing inhabits and reveals? . In his deeply revealing new book, John Sutherland invites us to step behind the cordon tape and bear witness to the things that he has seen in his twenty-five years of service with the Metropolitan Police. Tackling ten of the biggest challenges facing society today - from alcohol abuse, drug addiction and domestic violence to knife crime, terrorism and sexual offences - we are introduced to people who have been pushed to the limits and beyond. In doing so, we gain a clearer sense of what needs to be done to make our neighbourhoods safer and to transform the lives of those we live alongside. Eye-opening, courageous and moving, CROSSING THE LINE is a book that will change the way you see the world around you. . #authorsofinstagram #lovebooks #lovereading #booknerd #bookclub #books #reading #bookaddict #booksofinstragram #bookstoread #booksofinsta #bibliophile #whattoread #bookstagram #literaryfestival #crime
