Review: The Inmate - Freida McFadden - June 2022 Brooke has returned home nine years after she left with her son in tow and has gotten a job as a nurse at the local prison, being back in her hometown isn't all it is cracked up to be as a decade ago she sent her boyfriend Shane to prison after he murdered her friends and tried to kill her. She has always believed he was guilty, but as she comes face to face with him in the prison- he is still proclaiming his innocence. When Brooke meets another face who was there that night - Tim. She starts to think back to that fateful night and wonders that if it wasn't Shane then who could it have been? Was it Tim? Did he kill their friends and set Shane up for the fall? Brooke's son also wants to meet his father, so what happens when he realizes his dad is in prison for murder? I have to admit, this one started well as I do enjoy the murder and past experiences, but I have to say the last few chapters of this book took a turn for the w...

Review: Conviction - Julia Dahl

Review: Conviction - Book #3 Rebekah Roberts - Julia Dahl - March 2017 I recently saw this book advertised on Social Media and it sounded interesting, so I hopped on the Libby app hoping as it was an older book, my library would have an e-copy and they did. One of the things I love reading about is books set within "the innocence project" as it speaks to me as someone who loves true crime, just how many innocent people are sentenced to prison and have to spend most of their lives there before anyone will even listen to them and then that's only if they are lucky that the right person will pick up their case or see their letter as the project receives thousands of letters a day and some of those people are guilty, but you get some that truly are innocent. In Conviction, we meet reporter Rebekah Roberts who has recently won a journalism fellowship and reported about a mass shooting at a Hasidic Jew temple for the American Voice. She is busy working freelance for the New Y...

Review: My Husband's Fiancee - Wendy Owens - November 2021 Elizabeth Foster has been convicted of murder and the person she supposedly murdered was her husband Nathan's mistress Amelia. The thing though is that Liz had planned to murder her, but last minute decided not to go through with it but she turned up dead anyway. If Liz, didn't kill her, then who did? In Liz's mind, she is being set up by her husband Nathan. Now after a year in prison, she is visited by her husband's new fiancée Evelyn. Evelyn is engaged to Nathan and wants Liz to sign the divorce papers, so she and Nathan can move on with their new lives together.  Liz decides that this is her chance to get someone to hear her side of the story and maybe save her from being in prison for something that she is adamant that she never committed, so Liz proposes to Evelyn to hear her side of the story and at the end of it- she will sign the divorce papers. About halfway through the book, something got a bit f...

Review: None Shall Sleep - Ellie Marney

Review: None Shall Sleep - Ellie Marney - September 2020 This book had captured my attention in the library from the cover. It's so simple yet it had a feel of the '80s and a horror/slasher theme to it. The year is 1982 and the FBI is in the early days of creating the BAU aka Behavioural Analysis Unit. From this, I knew I would love this book as one of my favorite TV shows was Criminal Minds which was based on the BAU and also, I love profiling in general and anything attached to the FBI and crime. The second thing that got me hooked on this book was that the FBI are wanting to interview teenage killers and to do that, they have hired two 18-year-olds Emma and Travis who have had their own past experiences with serial killers. So, the drawcard of teenagers as acting FBI agents was another reason, I wanted to read this book. None Shall Sleep takes us back to the year 1982 and currently, Emma and Travis have been tasked with interviews, that is until one of their interviews lea...
