REVIEW ~ NIKI PRESTON ~ 5 STARS

I love a good, gritty, at times brutal gangland thriller and Judgement is a killer read. This is a series with expertly interwoven characters whose paths will inevitably cross at some point. Who will come out on top is anyone’s guess. Yet there is always a huge loyalty running through each character and those loyalties go deep. Can they every be broken? Those boundaries once crossed can never be undone! True edge of your seat writing that just holds you until the shocking end.

This is definitely a series that needs you read each book. The characters and drama builds in each book and leads us to, thankfully tied up loose ends and you finally can make links back to the first books and it brings everything together superbly. Honestly this is gangland crime thriller writing at its absolute best and a series that needs to be read.

REVIEW ~ NIKI PRESTON ~ 4 STARS

As a new author to me I found Artful Antic at St Bride’s a really engaging story that was an excellent gentle read that held my interest as any good cosy mystery should. I have not read the other 3 books in this series however I think it does work well as a standalone. I might actually go and read the others now though.

Sometimes I just like a great easy read that I can just sit back and enjoy and this book certainly fits that bill. If you’ve never tried a cosy mystery then this series would be a great place to start. Full of fun, highly likeable characters and an engaging story, full of intrigue that keeps you guessing. A perfect cosy mystery.

Debbie Young is the much-loved author of the Sophie Sayers and St Brides cosy crime mysteries. She lives in a Cotswold village where she runs the local literary festival, and has worked at Westonbirt School, both of which provide inspiration for her writing. She is bringing both her series to Boldwood in a 13-book contract. They will be publishing several new titles in each series and republishing the backlist, starting in September 2022.

REVIEW ~ NIKI PRESTON ~ 5 STARS

What a bitter sweet moment it was beginning A Fond Farewell for the Tobacco Girls. I have followed these girls from day one and I am sad to leave them behind but what a final instalment book 6 is. The perfect ending that I could only have dreamed of yet the getting there has been fraught with danger, sadness, love, lose, marriage, war, death and hope. These girls, now beautiful women prove that there is always hope, no matter what, no matter the darkness there is always hope.

I don’t think I have cried so much when reading a book. The 3 M’s find themselves coming back together in this final series yet not in the happiest of circumstances. However they still hold each up and get each other through what ever hits them, with compassion and a never ending friendship. I love Maisie, Bridget and Phyllis, I feel like they have become part of me and I am going to miss them immensely.

Lizzie Lane is one of those writers whose characterisations are so realistic that you can not help but feel like they are your friends, that they are real and not just words in a book. I always become totally engrossed in The Tobacco Girls and their lives that it absolutely feels like a wrench to now let them go.

I haven’t actually said much about the plot of this final books as the synopsis is enough to pull you in but I will say it is an entirely fitting end to this incredible historical family saga and if you need a series that creates a strong emotional response from the wonderful characters that you will fall in love with, be heartbroken by, be given hope by then this is totally the series for you.

All I can say now is a heart felt “Fond Farewell for the Tobacco Girls”

REVIEW ~ NIKI PRESTON ~ 5 STARS

A captivating story that you get drawn into completely. The Lives of four people are left in tatters after a devastating event 6 days before Christmas. Two of the four end up on a path of self destruction as they spiral slowly down a black hole. One seeking revenge, in their mind, justice and one trying to come to to terms with what happened and how they will ever come out the other side.

Three Sisters in an expertly crafted thriller full of tension that holds your attention throughout. Unwise decisions threaten to push everyone over the edge and tragedy for these people just seems to happen one after the other.

OJ Mullen has created brilliant characters that you become invested in very quickly. I could see the good and bad in all of them and I definitely wanted to shout “NO don’t do that!” on several occasions. A writer who can conjure these strong feelings in their readers is a damn fine writer in my opinion.

An absolute must for Psychological thriller lovers who enjoy a proper plot that takes you with it all the way to the catastrophic end.

Autumn Laine has lost her creative sparkle. After losing her grandad and her job as an illustrator in quick succession, she is at a crossroads in life and needs a break. Spending time with her parents in Paris, even in the artistic community of Montmartre, doesn’t appear to be the answer.

But when she meets Dane, who has escaped to the Lakes for his own reasons, will Autumn’s walls come down to let someone in again after so long? Or will the secrets of her past continue to hold her back?

REVIEW ~ NIKI PRESTON ~ 5 STARS

Before I start I must confess that I am an avid Jessica fan. I would go so far as, I know her as I’ve chatted with her on social media 🙂 A stretch I know but I’m saying she’s a friend 🙂 lol oh and the best thing is after reading this utterly heart-warming, beautiful story that I now have two pen pals!

Right now to stop my waffle and get on. The Start of Something Wonderful is a touching and uplifting read that really does leave you with that warm fuzzy feeling. The thing I love most about Jessica’s books is that she doesn’t shy away from telling the whole story. She deals with the difficult situations that we all deal with in life. Loss, sadness and strong emotions alongside the happy soppy love, hearts and flowers side of life. (in this case Daffodils are very apt) You’ll need to read it to understand that bit. No spoilers from me.

Autumn is a really complex character. She had a challenging childhood moving between France to be with her parents in the Holidays and England for her education when she lived with her grandparents. She had a lovely close relationship with her Grandad and I could feel Autumns emotions coming off the page as she deals with her immense love and sadness. Jessica absolutely knows how to evoke strong emotions in her readers. Its almost as if we are there in the pages living out the story. I love feeling so involved and immersed in a book. I always feel completely invested in the characters and I just wanted Autumn to find the love that she so richly deserves.

One aspect of the story that I really enjoyed was the long-term pen pal friendship that Autumn has with Rosie. Its utterly heart-warming and just a fabulous way to build friendships. Jessica is also the master of describing the surroundings that her characters find themselves in and it’s so clear that she does her homework before launching into her writing. I learnt a lot about Beatrix Potter and the beautiful Lakes.

A book that is wholly worth investing your reading hours too. It’s uplifting, beautifully written and I for one can not wait for book 2. The perfect feel good read with a splash of realism thrown in. LOVED EVERY SINGLE WORD!

The Nurse

Do No Harm…

Bullied, overlooked and under-appreciated, Lissa McColl learns at an early age to do very bad things.

As a nurse, she is respected and valued for the first time in her life. But Lissa hates her job and the selfish, rude and inconsiderate people she has to deal with.

But being underestimated in this job had its advantages. Lissa can get close to people, find out their secrets… sometimes with deadly results…

REVIEW ~ NIKI PRESTON ~ 5 STARS

The Nurse, what can I say? Exceptional writing from Valerie Keogh. It grabs you from beginning, holds your attention throughout then leaves you thinking “Blimey what have I just read? That was brilliant”

Lissa struck me as a very disturbed young woman who has a callous approach to life. If people, in her opinion hurt her or cause her to feel bad she just wipes them out. No qualms for Lissa, oh no she kills cold-heartedly and moves on. No bad feelings, she seems very cold and somewhat heartless but boy her character is written with a complexity that certainly makes you wonder why she is this way and how has she become so callous. Her mother though is the one exception, she definitely loves her mother deeply.

In all honesty if you love a great psychological, thought provoking, disturbing thriller the The Nurse is 100% for you. Superbly crafted characters that not only challenge your thinking they also create an emotional response that cuts deep. I loved The Nurse. Just an epic read.

REVIEW ~ NIKI PRESTON ~ 5 STARS

Where to start with Forever Diamond? There is so much to devour within these pages that it’s hard to talk about which bit first! That old Cliché, “a real page turner” is absolutely spot on for this gritty gangland crime thriller. The characters are created with a depth that makes them highly realistic people. You can believe in them wholly. I loved the humour between the feisty Patsy and her right hand woman. they make for a good chuckle in between the brutality of murder in its most horrific form. Patsy certainly gets herself into some scrapes and then she meets the dashing Phillipe, is he a good idea? Should he just be a quick holiday fling then back to reality? The only trouble is Patsy can not get him out of her mind. Cue the fly in the ointment, the dreadful Larry who will use anything to marry Patsy. He really is a piece of work!

A remarkable series that will not let you down. It has all the facets that makes a great read. Laughter, hatred, murder, crime, love, lust and good old pub shoot outs. It really does have it all. Totally gripping from the start. I defy you to put this book down once you’ve started it is impossible to stop reading. A terrifically well crafted book that does not disappoint.

I have always been a lover of Scottish history and this fabulous story really satisfied by hankering for a good old Scottish Clan read. A well paced plot that evokes a longing to love the right people, fight for that person and build a level of trust that can not be broken.

A really superbly written book that takes you back to years gone by of Clans and beautiful surroundings, love, life and all that comes in between. I really recommend this book to the Scottish Clan History lovers amongst us.

REVIEW ~ NIKI PRESTON ~ 4 STARS

Katie is a woman clearly spiralling out of control and for what? love? the thought of love? someone new? or just some relief from her life that has become mundane. Full of stroppy kids, a husband who hardly notices her and her boring job complete with irritating workmates.

I wasn’t sure initially how I felt about Katie? At times she really annoyed me and then I felt so sorry for her that I began to believe that perhaps it was ok for her have dreams and desires as long it stayed just that, and in her head. Does it? With each page turn Katie spirals faster and deeper than I imagined possible and it became so obvious that she needed help. The help though was from the one person that she needed to stay away from, far far away.

Katie’s character is complex and Sarah Edghill writes her with compassion and a level of understanding that really takes her readers on this emotional journey with Katie. The plotline is well written and tense to say the least. I really enjoyed this book and the outcome was actually much better than I had expected. An all round great read that highlights how easy it can be for something so small and insignificant to quickly become out of control and ruin the lives of everyone close to the situation.

# The truth is that I loved James with my whole heart. We were soulmates: meant to be together forever. On the morning of our wedding, I had just found out I was carrying his child.

But it’s time to tell my side of the story. It’s time everyone knew what happened on that wedding day, on our honeymoon, and on that fateful last drive together. It’s time everyone found out about the secrets and about the threat that loomed over our marriage. It’s time everyone found out who really killed James.

And I need everyone to believe me. To believe I’m not a killer. Because if they don’t, then my baby won’t just have no father… she’ll have no mother.

REVIEW ~ NIKI PRESTON ~ 5 STARS PLUS

Well my first thought on The Bride was “WOW” Honestly this book will have you turning pages like a Tasmanian Devil. An utterly gripping read from start to finish. I changed my opinion on Daisy, the main protagonist many many times. For the most part we are reading from her point of view as she tells her truth whilst awaiting trial. I even changed my mind about why she was in prison. Was a massive miscarriage of justice about to happen? or is she really in prison because she is guilty?

The Bride is brilliantly written and keeps you on your toes through out. John Nicholl has created a masterpiece of deception. mistrust and love that twists all the way to the end. I was enthralled by every single word and found myself caring more for Daisy and her lost soulmate James, as the pages ran out, I did not actually want the pages to run out. I was enjoying it too much for it to end! I did not at any point, however guess the final twist and boy was it a good one! Brilliant all round incredible read. Definitely worth a few reading hours.

John Nicholl is the bestselling author of numerous psychological thrillers and detective series, previously published by Bloodhound, and inspired by his real-life experience as an ex-police officer and child protection social worker. Boldwood will be publishing the next title in his Galbraith series and a new psychological thriller in autumn 2022, and will be reissuing his bestselling backlist from May 2022.
