January 2013 Books

I didn't manage my promised four books a month in January - oops not starting well!  You can see my challenge here.  I did read three books though.

Forgive me by Lesley Pearse - You can see my review here.

The Wicked Girls by Alex Marwood -Twenty-five years ago two little girls were imprisoned for murder.  Journalist Kirsty Lindsay is reporting on a series of attacks on young women at a small seaside town.  Her investigation leads her to Amber Gordon who works at the fair ground - its the first time either of them have seen each other since that day.  They have new identities and will do everything to keep their secret hidden.  I found the characters of Kirsty and Amber interesting and was keen to see what happened to them. I didn't quite see the ending coming.  A first novel, can't wait for Alex's next.

The Burning Air by Erin Kelly - The MacBride family have recently lost Lydia the matriarch of the family and they are all feeling her loss in different ways. Every year they gather for Ten Barrels bonfire night and fair and they stay at the barn, the family holiday home in Devon.

Felix brings his new girlfriend Kerry, she seems quiet but is kind to Edie, Sophie's youngest child.  She babysits while the rest of them go to the bonfire night and fair.  When they return Kerry and Edie are gone.

A great read which is full of suspense and twists and turns.  The family eventually realise a person connected to their past is involved.

I really enjoyed all three books.  What have you been reading this month?
