Adele Parks is one of my must pick up immediately authors and I happy to report she doesn't disappoint with Lies, Lies, Lies.
Told from alternating perspectives of Daisy & Simon, I felt for both of the characters throughout and the plot is addictive, I found it difficult to put down because I wanted to find out what was really going on.
Whilst that final twist will certainly shock, I personally felt it distracted from the rest of the story.
Overall an enjoyable, brilliant characters and an ending you certainly won't guess.

This is an enjoyable, engaging & funny read! A unique idea with great writing. I loved the contrasting settings the London hustle and the idyllic countryside.⠀

Harriet & Sophie are realistic and relatable characters that you'll soon be rooting for. ⠀

The bit with the snake made me laugh out loud so it deserves a special mention

Cogan's best yet!
I utterly adored this book, it gave me all the feels... It let me escapism from my world, made me laugh, it had me sobbing and it left me feeling uplifted!
I was immediately drawn into the lives of Lissa & Cormac, they are so real and relatable I found myself instantly rooting for them. I really enjoyed watching their relationship grow and those little illustrations were the perfect extra touch.
I also loved the cameo's we had from Nina and Zoe, it is always lovely to see what characters from previous books are up to and how they are doing now.
This beautifully written novel tackles some serious topics: organ donation & mental health with careful consideration and incredible thoughtfulness.

I absolutely loved this novel!
Thomas provides perfect escapism to sunny Sicily, the scenery idyllic and food sounds scrumptious.
The characters easily investible from the beginning. And I love the way the character physical looks are subtly described and the emphasis on personality. The storytelling is beautiful and I love how Mount Etna had a character all of her own! She is definitely enigmatic even in real time to warrant it!! The perfect rich, warm and sunny read for this gorgeous bank holiday weather.

What can I say Craven has done it again... This novel is exceptional! Fast-paced, thrilling & oh so clever. I've said it once and I'll say it again he is a mastermind at his craft.
I was literally counting down the days until I could get my mitts on this! It exceeded my very very high expectations and I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it is my favourite of the series (how many days until Dead Ground is out?! Who do I have to kidnap to get an early copy?).
Poe & Tilly are the best crime duo about. I love their relationship, how fiercely protective of each other they are. Their exchanges, and how they have grown to love each other's little quirks. Most of all love that they will go to the ends of the earth for each other but there is no romantic agenda. They are dynamic, funny & will steal a piece of your heart.
This plot is compelling, gruesome & completely original. If you are looking for a crime novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat, that you will not be able to put down and one that you will not be able to guess the ending of, look no further. Pick this up and enjoy the ride, you can thank me later! I whole-heartedly recommend this book and if you haven't yet come across Poe & Tilly then definitely treat yourself to the whole series! (You certainly don't have to, to enjoy The Curator but the only person missing out is you).
A huge thanks to Little Brown Books & NetGalley for sending me a copy in return for an open & honest review.
Ps. If you loved this as much as I did and would like to know more about the genius behind it head over to my blog for a Q&A with M. W. Craven himself http://agirlwithherheadstuckinabook.blogspot.com/2020/05/author-of-month-m-w-craven.html

It was too clichéd and one dimensional for me. I won't be reading the rest of the series.
