#inlaws #sample"The main character isn't pure. She's reminds me a bit of Amy from Gone Girl but she's not that evil. She's very good at manipulation" @goodreads buff.ly/2ADTD0X

Thank you for your kind words, Marina. As a writer, I am always pleased when readers can "see" a film. Thank you, too, for my first review in another language. goodreads.com/review/show/41…

#inside #inlaws "He perked up, however, as he looked down lovingly at the coffee he had just made. 'Nothing like a good cup of coffee,' Malcolm announced ... and, to use a well worn joke, it was nothing like a good cup of coffee, being both tasteless and lukewarm." - Eve

"When a borderline psychopath is confronted by the mother-in-law from hell, there's bound to be interesting times in store for the reader." With thanks to a lovely reviewer, @Cynth_Rodrigues for her words buff.ly/2W2d6S9

#inside #sample “… he made me no concessions, striding on ahead ... Joe looked as if he wasn’t going to stop so I managed to indicate that I would like to take a moment to admire the view.”

#inlaws #reviews "I particularly enjoyed this novel ... I would definitely like to see this as a movie." Read more from Gloria here: buff.ly/2uDLByG

#inlaws #sample “If I was frustrated by Gideon’s inability to see his mother for what she really was, this frustration was as nothing to my sense of impotent fury the following day when Marjorie played a blinder. I was getting ready to bellow to Gideon that ..."

#inlaws #sample “'You could,' Claire suggested, 'be self sabotaging.' She wasn’t easily going to give up on the idea that it was me and not Marjorie, who was the problem. 'You have a long history of failed relationships’, said Claire, getting straight to the point'⠀

#inlaws #sample "You had to give it to the woman, she knew how to play him. From her position on the floor she reached up a claw like, bejewelled hand and clutched Gideon’s wrist." - Eve From @ThistleBooks. Read 2 chapters for free - see link in bio

#inlaws #reviews #others I found it fascinating when I learnt the author researched the whole thing without leaving London. This shouldn’t, I suppose, be a surprise. I don’t imagine JR Rowling ever visited a school for wizards, Tolkien never ventured very far from Oxford (etc.)

"This book is a combination of a mystery/thriller with a touch of humor. A surprising and amusing ending." Thanks to another lovely reader over on Goodreads buff.ly/3avUgaK

#inlaws #reviews #others Am I missing something here? Where some authors make the everyday experience of characters feel relevant for all humankind, others don’t. The characters in this book, rather than leaping off the page, lay there, inert.

#inlaws #reviews #others An extraordinary insight into what people had to do to survive in pre-revolutionary China. The immense hardship & lack of any safety net is chilling, especially when one reflects that things are not so different for millions today, all over the world.

"In a tone reminiscent of "Carrie Bradshaw", I saw a narrator that I could relate to" Thanks to a lovely reader for her review over on Goodreads buff.ly/2K0VJdo

#inlaws #reviews #others You may never have heard of Patrick Hamilton, but you will have heard the term ‘gaslighting’. This book is an evocation of lives lived in London in the 1930s. It exquisitely details the minutiae of every day experience.

"Well written and with a satisfying ending [...] How Eve outsmarts her is not only ingenious at times but hilarious and makes you think Eve may be keeping some secrets herself [...] a good read." With thanks to another lovely person over on Goodreads buff.ly/2pPUFlR

#inlaws #reviews #others I am not easily spooked by books, but this one really sent a shiver down my spine. A slowly developing sense of menace suffuses the entire story, and that the writer manages to imbue a rucksack with malevolence is particularly impressive.

A terrific day out around the @cityoflondon with thanks to @openhouselondon providing another great year of exploration

#inlaws #reviews Great plot with fun, twisty ideas thrown in. "This was a really fun, interesting read! I really enjoyed each of the character development, and I have to say, I found Eve quite entertaining! I was rooting for her the whole way. #goodreads

#inlaws #reviews #others The Secret History, Donna Tartt I will come clean up front, I did not like this book. It, to my mind, belongs in that class of books that gets lauded to the skies for its intellectuality, but which fails to connect in any emotional way with the reader
