#BookReview The Key by Kathryn Hughes #TheKey @KHughesAuthor

THE KEY

A hidden note.

A lost love.

A second chance.

The Key is a novel I received a few months back from Headline Review thanks to a shout out from my fellow book blogger Kate Noble over at https://thequietknitterer.wordpress.com/  I haven’t read a book by Kathryn Hughes before but I have read reviews of her previous novels so I was looking forward to reading The Key. Life and other book commitments resulted in a delay in me getting to it but I am delighted today to finally bring you all my thoughts.

#BookReview #AKeeper by Graham Norton

A Keeper

The truth drifts out to sea, riding the waves out of sight. And then the tide turns.

A Keeper is the second novel from the best loved broadcaster Graham Norton. Following on from his debut novel Holding, which was a commercial and critical success, Graham Norton set his mind to writing book two. It is described as a ‘compelling new novel confirming Graham Norton’s status as a fresh, literary voice, bringing his clear-eyed understanding of human nature and its darkest flaws.’

Just published with Hodder and Stoughton, I was delighted to receive a signed copy of A Keeper at an event with Graham Norton which was recently hosted by Easons and Rick O’ Shea at The Cork Opera House.

Please do read on for my thoughts…

#BookReview In The Court’s Hands by @FionaGartland @PoolbegBooks

In The Court’s Hands

“If it had rained on the 25th of April at least one woman would not have died. Not that I bear any responsibility for that. Nothing I did intentionally caused anyone’s death – though the fact remains, people did die”

Fiona Gartland is a journalist with The Irish Times newspaper and has covered many cases at the Criminal Courts of Justice. With that in mind, she has written her debut novel In The Court’s Hands, which has just been published by Poolbeg Press.

I have my review for you all today so I hope, as ever, that you enjoy!
