I have always enjoyed Liz Nugent’s crime novels. She creates
multi-layered, unforgettable characters within gripping, twisty plots. This is
probably her most disturbing book so far, taking readers right inside her main
character’s head.
Strange Sally Diamond focuses on the
aftermath of tragic and horrific events. It’s about family, childhood trauma,
and nature versus nurture – and whether we can truly escape our past.
This psychological thriller stayed with me long after I finished it. It can
be uncomfortable reading at times, yet there are also moments of dark humour. It’s
beautifully written and took me through a rollercoaster of emotions.
Sally Diamond cannot understand why what she did was so strange. She was only doing what her father told her to do, to put him out with the rubbish when he died.
Now Sally is the centre of attention, not only from the hungry media and worried police, but also a sinister voice from a past she has no memory of. As she begins to discover the horrors of her childhood, recluse Sally steps into the world for the first time, making new friends, finding independence, and learning that people don't always mean what they say.
I was gripped by this crime thriller and read most of it in one sitting.
The plot focuses on the disappearance of a social media influencer and whether
she’s being held against her will.
The story is told through documentary transcripts, diaries, social media
posts and interviews, bringing each key character to life. Snippets of
information are carefully revealed, and as a reader, it was difficult to know
who to trust.
The Ugly Truthprovided food for thought about living
in the public eye, especially through social media. Maybe a lesson for all of
us!

Melanie Lange has disappeared.
Her father, billionaire business tycoon Sir Peter Lange, says she is a danger to herself and has been admitted to a private mental health clinic.
Murdle isn’t a crime novel, or certainly not a
conventional one. This quirky puzzle book focuses on logic and deduction –
perfect for armchair detectives.
As a teenager, I would spend hours on holiday
doing logic puzzles. This is a crime fiction version – similar to a game of
Cluedo – and is keeping me occupied for hours. A more-than-slightly-mad story
links all of the puzzles together, providing an incentive to work through the
book from beginning to end.
The puzzles get more difficult as the book
progresses, so you do need to concentrate on them. It will take me a while to
get through the book, but it’s easy to dip in and out of it. When I run out of
puzzles, I can always buy the sequel.
